Strive adds 1,110 BTC to treasury via share sales

Strive funded its latest 1,110 BTC purchase with fresh share issuance, adding $81.5 million to a treasury now at 21,356 coins while Bitcoin trades near the dashboard level after a short-covering lift. That inflow from one corporate buyer stands against mixed exchange flows and an MVRV ratio still inside fair-value territory, leaving open whether spot accumulation will sustain or whether the move simply resets leverage for the next leg down.^[1][2]

The sanctions campaign against Iran’s remaining trade channels tightens energy markets without producing measurable Bitcoin demand, and network metrics show no acceleration in hashrate or Lightning activity to match the price swing. The open question is whether repeated equity-funded corporate buys can offset distribution pressure once forced covering exhausts itself.
