American investment company Strive has purchased additional Bitcoin. Between August 24 and 28, the firm acquired 1,800 coins. The total value of the transaction amounted to $143 million. The average purchase price reached $79,431 per coin. The company brought its total portfolio to 23,156 Bitcoin. The current value of the assets is estimated at $1.8 billion. This is the largest single purchase since September of last year, when Strive acquired 5,816 coins for $675 million. That transaction took place as part of a merger with Semler Scientific.
Strive has sharply accelerated its Bitcoin purchasing pace. Between July 20 and 24, the firm acquired just 79 coins for $5.2 million. The average purchase price at the time was $65,723 per coin. Over the most recent seven-day period, the company invested 27 times more. Strive secured financing through the issuance of new shares. The number of Class A common shares increased by 3.5 million, with the total rising from 79.8 million to 83.4 million. The number of SATA preferred shares increased by 803,000.
The company's cash reserves grew from $171.9 million to $183.5 million, with this increase occurring simultaneously with the Bitcoin purchase. Strive most frequently raises capital through its SATA preferred shares, which were launched in November 2025. Monthly dividends were initially set at twelve percent, and the company later raised them to thirteen percent. The recent purchase coincided with the return of Strategy, the largest public Bitcoin holder, which had taken a two-month pause. Strategy acquired 4,603 coins for $370 million.
Strategy's average purchase price was approximately $80,380. Over five trading days, the two companies spent a combined $513 million. The difference in their average purchase prices was less than $1,000. In August, Strive also purchased Bitcoin between the 17th and 21st, acquiring 1,110 coins for $81.5 million. The average price including fees came to $73,409. According to BitcoinTreasuries data, Strive has risen to fifth place in the ranking of the largest corporate Bitcoin holders.
