The purchase brings Strive’s total bitcoin holdings from 19,000 BTC to 19,032 BTC, a position the Dallas-based company reached after a series of transactions in recent months.
Ironically, Strive bought exactly 32 bitcoin this week — the same number Strategy unloaded two weeks ago in its first bitcoin sale in years.
The acquisition comes at a price well below Strive’s latest large-scale purchase.

The most recent purchase at $63,911 per coin represents a reduction of approx. 14% in the cost basis over the previous round, reflecting the softness in bitcoin’s spot price in the reporting window.
Strive for balanced growth
