Strive added 1,355 bitcoin during a five-day buying period in September, increasing its reported holdings from 25,000 BTC to 26,355 BTC. The company disclosed the transaction in a Form 8-K filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
A $79,475 average purchase price
The filing says Strive bought the bitcoin between September 14 and September 18, 2026, at an average price of approximately $79,475 per coin, including fees and expenses. Multiplying the disclosed amount by that average produces an implied purchase value of about $107.7 million. The filing itself provides the bitcoin quantity and average cost rather than presenting the multiplication as a separate reported total.
The update gives investors a defined measurement date. Strive reported 26,355 bitcoin as of September 18, compared with 25,000 a week earlier. Unlike a wallet snapshot, the regulatory filing also places the purchase alongside changes in cash, securities and shares outstanding, providing more context for how the treasury sits within the company’s capital structure.
Cash and share counts also changed
Cash and cash equivalents increased from $204.2 million on September 11 to $229.6 million on September 18, according to the filing’s table. Strive’s Class A common shares outstanding rose by 2,073,760 over the same comparison period, while effective common shares outstanding increased by 2,033,885. The filing does not say that a single financing action directly paid for the entire bitcoin purchase, so those movements should not be treated as a complete transaction-by-transaction funding breakdown.
Strive also continued to report 505,000 shares of Strategy’s variable-rate STRC preferred stock. The stated fair value moved slightly, from $49.813 million to $49.748 million. SATA preferred shares outstanding rose from 10,397,966 to 11,184,160. Together, those figures show that the company’s reported treasury exposure includes more than bitcoin alone.
What the disclosure tells shareholders
The most direct result is the higher bitcoin balance. Strive increased its stack by 5.42% over the one-week comparison, based on the disclosed move from 25,000 to 26,355 BTC. For shareholders, that raises exposure to changes in bitcoin’s market value while leaving the company subject to its own financing, governance and preferred-stock obligations.
The filing is a point-in-time disclosure rather than a promise about future purchases. It does not provide a schedule for the next acquisition or guarantee that the current pace will continue. Readers assessing the strategy should track later SEC filings, outstanding share counts and liquidity alongside the headline bitcoin total.
Average acquisition cost is also different from a current valuation. The disclosed $79,475 figure describes this specific five-day purchase and includes fees and expenses. It does not reset the accounting basis of earlier holdings or show whether the overall position is in profit. A complete assessment therefore requires the company’s historical purchase data as well as the latest bitcoin balance.
