Strive has bought about 789 additional Bitcoin, lifting its total holdings to about 14,557 BTC and moving the company further up the list of public firms using Bitcoin as a treasury asset. The purchase adds to a fast accumulation campaign that has pushed the Nasdaq-listed company into the top 10 among public corporate Bitcoin holders.
The new total places Strive ninth on BitcoinTreasuries’ public company rankings, ahead of several miners and below a small group of much larger treasury players led by Strategy. BitcoinTreasuries currently shows public companies holding about 1.18 million BTC in aggregate, with Strive’s 14,557 BTC now ranking just ahead of Hut 8’s 13,696 BTC.
Strive paired the Bitcoin purchase announcement with a new event under its True North research and media brand. The company said True North will bring its corporate Bitcoin curriculum to Lake Oswego, Oregon, on May 21, 2026, through an after-work summit aimed at CFOs, founders, treasurers and business owners who want a practical view of how Bitcoin is being used in corporate finance.
Company pushes deeper into Bitcoin treasury strategy
The latest purchase extends a rapid shift that Strive has been building since late 2025. On its investor relations site, the company describes itself as the first publicly traded asset management Bitcoin treasury corporation, with stated goals that include accumulating Bitcoin, increasing Bitcoin per share and outperforming Bitcoin over time through treasury and investment strategies.
That positioning sets Strive apart from companies that adopted Bitcoin only as a reserve asset on top of an existing operating business. In Strive’s case, Bitcoin accumulation is central to how the company presents itself to investors. The latest 789 BTC addition therefore reads less like a side allocation and more like a continuation of a declared balance sheet strategy.
The move also comes as the wider corporate Bitcoin race remains active. Strategy disclosed on April 27 that it had acquired another 3,273 BTC, taking its holdings to 818,334 BTC. With the largest holder still buying and smaller entrants like Strive climbing the rankings, public-company demand remains one of the main institutional themes in the Bitcoin market this month.
Oregon event broadens Bitcoin-for-business push
Alongside the treasury update, Strive used the announcement to expand the educational side of its Bitcoin strategy. The Lake Oswego summit is being marketed as a working session for finance and operating executives rather than as a retail crypto event. The company said the program is designed for business leaders seeking a functional understanding of how Bitcoin is changing treasury management.
True North chief executive Jeff Walton said Bitcoin and related securities are changing how companies manage reserves and capital decisions. In the same announcement, Strive said public companies now hold more than 1.15 million BTC on their balance sheets and that Bitcoin ETFs collectively hold about 1.28 million BTC. Those figures frame the Oregon event as part of a broader push to bring treasury adoption into more mainstream corporate discussions.
The event timing also matters. Corporate finance teams are increasingly weighing Bitcoin exposure through multiple channels, including direct treasury purchases, equity securities linked to Bitcoin and exchange-traded funds. By attaching an education program to the same update as a treasury purchase, Strive is linking its balance sheet activity to a wider campaign around corporate adoption.
