BTC Strive bought 1,375 bitcoins, and new preferred shares pushed up dividend costs.
Strive, an asset management company co-founded by Vivek Ramaswamy, bought 1,375 bitcoins. At the same time, newly issued preferred shares led to an increase in the company's dividend expenses. In short, Strive further expanded its Bitcoin position on its balance sheet and independently assumed the obligation to pay larger recurring dividends to shareholders.
Core Points
- Strive purchased 1,375 bitcoins, increasing the company's treasury reserves.
- Newly issued preferred shares increase the company's dividend costs.
- Bitcoin purchases and the increase in dividend bills should be regarded as two separate developments and should not be assumed to be directly related.
Strive increased its holdings of 1,375 bitcoins
According to CryptoSlate, Strive reported purchasing 1,375 bitcoins. The move continues the company's strategy of holding Bitcoin as a core treasury asset.
The company disclosed the activity to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC, the federal regulatory agency responsible for regulating listed companies) in a September 8, 2026 filing. However, the available research data do not detail the purchase date, average paid price, and updated total open positions.
Strive has been steadily building its Bitcoin position. Previously, the company purchased 759 BTC in enterprise-level Bitcoin purchases; subsequently purchased an additional 2,500 BTC, bringing its total position to nearly 19,000 BTC.
New preferred shares push up dividend costs
Concurrent with the Bitcoin purchase is Strive's new issuance of preferred shares. Preferred stock is a type of stock that usually pays a fixed dividend, meaning the company is obligated to make regular cash payments to the holder.
Strive issued nearly one million new preferred shares, increasing its annual dividend obligation by approximately $12 million. This figure represents recurring costs that the company must bear in the future, rather than one-time expenses.
The specific dividend ratio, payment schedule and exact funds raised by the issuance are not clearly stated in the existing research data. Strive has previously adjusted payment levels on its preferred instruments, including increasing SATA yields to 12.75% when increasing its holdings in Bitcoin and STRC.
What the purchase and dividend costs mean to Strive
For investors holding a small amount of Bitcoin, the main revelation is that another listed company is expanding its Bitcoin vault. Strive's buying behavior added a corporate buyer to the market, but the lack of price, cash flow or market response data in the research data made it difficult to assess its impact on the broader market.
These two developments are independent of each other. Existing research does not confirm that the issuance of preferred shares is directly used to fund Bitcoin purchases, so treating it as a single transaction completed through financing would exceed the scope of evidence.
The main trade-off to watch is that Strive is acquiring an asset with no fixed income and assumes a preferred stock obligation that requires a stable dividend payment. Whether this balance is sustainable will depend on financial data not provided in the current report.
