U.S. Nasdaq-listed asset manager Strive invested $30.3 million, or about 45.7 billion won, to buy an additional 382 bitcoin.
CoinPost, a blockchain media outlet, reported on Tuesday that the purchase lifted Strive's total bitcoin holdings to 15,391.
The average purchase price was $79,348 per bitcoin. Strive CEO Matt Cole (맷 콜) said the company's bitcoin holdings reached 15,391 after the additional purchase. He said the holdings are worth 188.3 billion yen, or about 1.785 trillion won, at current market prices.
The company is maintaining the ninth-largest bitcoin holdings among listed companies worldwide. It also reaffirmed its stance of making bitcoin a core asset in its financial strategy and expanding holdings through external fundraising.
Strive also disclosed profitability metrics. It said its bitcoin yield metric was 18.4 percent since the start of the year and 6.6 percent on a quarterly basis. It added that it uses bitcoin as a minimum return benchmark for capital allocation and is pursuing increased bitcoin holdings per share as a key management goal.
The strategy is based on a fundraising structure that uses a perpetual preferred share called SATA. SATA is a publicly traded preferred share that pays a monthly dividend at an annual rate of 13 percent. Strive raised $225 million, or about 339.0 billion won, through a capital increase in January 2026.
Strive also said it has secured funds for dividend payments. It said it has set aside 18 months of cash and reserves to pay SATA dividends. It is also continuing its strategy of steadily expanding bitcoin holdings by using externally raised funds.
Strive's bitcoin strategy focuses not only on increasing the size of its holdings but also on raising bitcoin exposure per share. If total holdings rise through additional purchases, bitcoin will account for a larger share of the company's asset mix. As a result, swings in bitcoin prices could directly affect assessments of Strive's corporate value and financial strategy.
Still, the fundraising structure using high-dividend preferred shares is a method in which both bitcoin price trends and the management of funding costs become important. As bitcoin holdings increase, a rising market could highlight the effect of increasing holdings per share, but a price correction could also increase dividend burdens and valuation volatility at the same time.
In this context, Strive's latest purchase is closer to an extension of its corporate financial strategy than a simple additional investment. The company uses bitcoin as a benchmark for capital allocation and has set a goal of increasing holdings per share. Whether preferred-share fundraising and bitcoin purchases continue in tandem will be a key point to watch.
