DATA DROP: Strive Now Accumulating Bitcoin Faster Than Any Company

Strive Leads Explosive Bitcoin Buying as Corporate Treasuries Surge in May

The BitcoinTreasuries.net May Corporate Adoption Report is now available.

This month’s standout is Strive’s rapid acceleration in proceeds and buying. Starting June 16, SATA becomes the first equity to pay daily dividends to shareholders, more frequent than Strategy's new semi-monthly STRC schedule. 

This came alongside strong sector-wide growth. Public holdings rose 51,045 Bitcoin gross and 43,557 BTC net in May, driven by purchases and disclosures from Strategy, SpaceX, and Strive, detailed in our buying recap.

Here are our key findings.

1. Strive’s digital credit proceeds are rising fast

We estimate SATA raised $276 million in May, 12.4% of total digital credit ATM proceeds (SATA and STRC combined). Daily SATA ATM proceeds peaked at $87 million on May 29, more than double the prior day and enough to buy roughly 1,180 BTC.

Track this live on our digital credit dashboard.

2. Strive holdings grew 30.5% over one month

Our key finding: Strive bought 4,443 BTC, 30.5% of its prior holdings over roughly one month ending June 2. By contrast, Strategy bought 10% of its existing holdings over about one month ending May 18.

May 25 marked an exceptional week. We estimate Strive purchased 2,649 BTC, 17% of its existing balance, from SATA proceeds.

3. Five holders collectively own over $500 million in STRC

We continue to track companies and projects known to hold Strategy’s STRC. BitcoinTreasuries.net partner Apyx holds $300 million as of early June.

Prevalon, Saturn, Strive, and Oranje bring total known holdings above $500 million at STRC’s $100 par value. Anchorage holds an undisclosed amount we estimate at $20 million.
