Vivek Ramaswamy’s Strive acquires 317 Bitcoin, moving into top 10 BTC holders

Strive has significantly increased its Bitcoin holdings by acquiring 317 BTC for $23 million, bringing its total to approximately 13,628 BTC and placing it among the top 10 corporate holders, surpassing Tesla and CleanSpark. The company, founded by Vivek Ramaswamy, accumulated Bitcoin through private placements, stock exchange transactions, and the acquisition of Semler Scientific. While reporting a net loss of $393.6 million, largely due to non-cash items like unrealized losses on Bitcoin, Strive highlighted its 'Bitcoin Yield' metric, reporting a 22.2% yield in Q4 2025. The firm’s SATA perpetual preferred stock product is designed to deliver double-digit yields. Strive’s shift from an anti-ESG investment advisor to a Bitcoin accumulation vehicle reflects a belief in the asset’s potential for institutional investment and yield generation through structured finance.
