Strive buys bitcoin for 9 straight trading days, funding structure put to test

Asset manager Strive has bought bitcoin for nine straight trading days using funds raised by issuing SATA preferred shares. It most recently bought 104 BTC on Sept. 1, Cryptopolitan reported. The buying comes as corporate bitcoin purchases have generally slowed. Strive said SATA pays dividends every business day with an annual dividend rate of 13.00 percent. Analysts warned the cycle depends on market confidence, while the company reported a second-quarter GAAP net loss of $257.6 million.

NYDIG says BlackRock\'s IBIT $1.26 billion block trade shows signs of urgent liquidation by whale investor

A more than $1.26 billion block trade in BlackRock\'s spot bitcoin ETF iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) last week may have been a large directional investor rapidly unwinding a concentrated position, NYDIG research head Greg Cipolaro said. The sale was executed in a dark pool at a $1.01 discount to market, implying about $29.5 million in concession. Bitcoin fell about 2.8 percent on the day, while U.S.-listed spot bitcoin ETFs have logged 11 straight sessions of net outflows.
