Strive's Vice President of Bitcoin Strategy Joe Burnett stated that there are currently three types of investment views on Bitcoin in the market: first, the bulls, who believe that Bitcoin's long-term annualized return rate is higher than the cost of financing, and therefore are willing to borrow long-term capital to increase their Bitcoin holdings; second, the neutral investors, who view Bitcoin as a "Digital Credit" asset, only needing to believe that Bitcoin will not disappear and can generally follow the growth of USD inflation over the long term to meet their return needs.For example, according to Michael Saylor, if Bitcoin grows at an average annual rate of 3.3%, it can sustainably rely on capital gains to pay current dividends; third, the bears, who can express their views by shorting Bitcoin or leveraging Bitcoin products. Burnett believes that as bulls, neutrals, and bears all have corresponding Bitcoin investment tools, more capital is expected to enter the Bitcoin market.

Strive's Vice President of Bitcoin Strategy Joe Burnett stated that the annualized rate of return (ARR) for Bitcoin's breakeven point is often misunderstood, and understanding this concept is crucial for grasping the market. He categorized global capital allocation to Bitcoin into three paths: Bullish Bitcoin - believing that Bitcoin will appreciate significantly, borrowing long-term funds at a cost of less than 20% to increase positions; Neutral Bitcoin (digital credit) - Bitcoin only needs to grow by 3.3% annually to permanently cover dividends through capital appreciation, such buyers only need to believe that Bitcoin will not disappear and will outpace inflation, which may have become a global consensus; Bearish Bitcoin - expressing a bearish view through shorting Bitcoin or amplifying Bitcoin.Burnett pointed out that these three paths correspond to three types of Bitcoin-linked instruments, allowing major global capital allocators to find allocation methods that match their worldview, which is precisely the path through which over a trillion dollars of capital is gradually flowing into the Bitcoin market.

Strive CEO Matt Cole stated in an interview that even if Bitcoin drops to 1 cent and stays there for 18 months, Strive can do nothing and it will not be a problem, nor will it need to sell even a single BTC.No price will force Strive to be liquidated.

Matt Cole, CEO of the Bitcoin financial services company Strive, disclosed that the company increased its holdings by 17.76 bitcoins last week, bringing its total bitcoin holdings to 19,882.The company accumulated an additional 6,236 BTC in the second quarter of 2026, achieving a 24% bitcoin return and recording an incremental gain of 3,264 BTC.

Strive CEO Matt Cole stated that, given the short-selling interest in SATA tokens has increased by about 1 million shares in the past 30 days, and the borrowing cost has currently reached about a 70% annualized rate, the company is seeking market feedback to explore whether it should suspend the strategy of issuing new SATA tokens at a fixed price of $100, instead allowing the market to determine its liquidation price.Cole pointed out that although $100 remains the target price, some investors believe that Strive will continue to issue additional tokens at that price point, thereby creating an invisible ceiling. Retaining issuance flexibility will increase the risks and costs of short-selling SATA, and while it may exacerbate market volatility in the short term, it aims to reduce long-term volatility and curb speculative short-selling.

Strive CEO Matt Cole posted on the X platform that Strive's balance sheet currently holds 19,864 BTC, $141.7 million in cash, and $37.7 million worth of STRC.This week, no BTC was purchased; Strive's balance sheet has sufficient reserves, with no debt, no margin, and no restricted BTC.

According to BBX data, yesterday traditional derivatives giant made a high-profile entry into the prediction market, and a counter-cyclical signal appeared for digital asset reserve companies. The core dynamics are as follows:Cboe Global Markets, Inc. (NASDAQ: $CBOE) announced yesterday the re-launch of binary options products benchmarked to the S&P 500 index ("Yes/No" structure, providing fixed returns or zero at expiration based on contract conditions). This marks Cboe's first return to this category since it withdrew about ten years ago, directly entering the prediction market track pioneered by Polymarket and Kalshi, which has become "one of the fastest-growing areas on the internet." This move signifies that one of the largest regulated derivatives exchanges in the U.S. officially recognizes binary options/prediction markets as an independent asset class, entering the competition with the compliance endorsement of a traditional exchange and institutional distribution capabilities, rather than holding a regulatory exclusion attitude towards this model. For cryptocurrency concept stocks, Cboe's entry has dual implications: first, it further validates the market size and legitimacy of prediction markets; second, Cboe's institutional channels and Coinbase (the only licensed prediction market FCM by the CFTC) will compete in parallel under the same regulatory framework, leading to an increase in the valuation and policy attention of the entire track.Strive, Inc. (NASDAQ: $ASST) was cited in a market analysis report yesterday (pending independent confirmation from the official SEC 8-K document), stating that the company recently increased its holdings by approximately 759 BTC at an average price of about $65,850; based on this calculation, the company's BTC holdings have increased from 19,032 disclosed in the SEC 8-K on June 5 to about 19,791 (approximately $1.17 billion). This increase occurred against the backdrop of Bitcoin continuously declining from the $65,000 to $66,000 range. Strive and Strategy (which also increased its holdings by 520 BTC during the same period) are among the few DAT companies that maintained active purchases during the reporting period; CEO Matt Cole previously positioned the continuous increase in BTC as a "differentiated catch-up" to Strategy's scale advantage rather than a pure directional bet on price. The company holds approximately $139.2 million in cash, and the capital balance between the 9.5% annual dividend obligation of preferred stock (SATA) and BTC purchases is currently the most noteworthy balance sheet risk point.

Bitget has launched 7 stock spot products including rSCHD (U.S. Dividend Stock ETF), rYUM (Yum Brands), rASST (Strive), and rDHI (D.R. Horton), covering popular sectors such as finance and consumer goods.It is reported that the rToken, identified by the letter r + stock code (for example, Nvidia is rNVDA), is issued by Reality, a licensed RWA protocol under Bitget, and is directly connected to global liquidity pools such as NASDAQ and NYSE through collaboration with the compliant brokerage Alpaca.

According to SoSoValue data, as of 8 AM Eastern Time on June 22, 2026, the total net purchase of Bitcoin by global listed companies (excluding mining companies) for the week was $86.03 million, a decrease of 13.97% compared to last week.Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy) spent approximately $34.9 million last week to purchase 520 Bitcoins at a price of $67,068, increasing its total holdings to 847,363 Bitcoins.The Japanese listed company Metaplanet did not purchase any Bitcoin last week, marking nine consecutive weeks without purchases.Additionally, four other companies purchased Bitcoin last week. The Japanese food brand DayDayCook announced on June 17 that it spent $7.43 million to purchase 95 Bitcoins at an undisclosed price, bringing its total holdings to 2,899 Bitcoins; the Brazilian Bitcoin company OrangeBTC announced on June 21 that it invested $1.15 million to purchase 18 Bitcoins at a price of $64,121, increasing its total holdings to 3,822 Bitcoins; the asset management company Strive announced from June 15 to June 21 that it spent $49.98 million to purchase 759 Bitcoins at a price of $65,850, raising its total holdings to 19,864 Bitcoins.As of the time of writing, the total amount of Bitcoin held by the global listed companies (excluding mining companies) in the statistics is 1,142,276 Bitcoins, an increase of 1.87% compared to last week, with a current market value of approximately $7.417 billion, accounting for 5.7% of the circulating market value of Bitcoin.

According to Strive Asset Management CEO Matt Cole, the company has additionally purchased 759 Bitcoins, with a total value of approximately $50 million, at an average purchase cost of about $65,850 per coin.After this increase, Strive's total Bitcoin holdings have risen to 19,864 coins, valued at approximately $1.254 billion based on the closing price on June 18.

SATA under Strive has raised funds in the first week after paying daily dividends, enough to purchase over 603 BTC.

Strive CEO posted on the X platform that Bitcoin is its minimum return rate standard. The viewpoint is that, measured by simple total return metrics, investing in Bitcoin operating companies is likely to struggle to outperform Bitcoin itself over the next 10 to 15 years. However, supporting the Bitcoin network is important, as Bitcoin is its foundational treasury asset. Part of this is to help Bitcoin operating companies grow and succeed. As the balance sheet continues to expand, it may be considered to invest in Bitcoin companies on a smaller scale relative to the balance sheet to help drive the success of native Bitcoin.

According to The Block, Ben Werkman, Chief Investment Officer of the Bitcoin treasury company Strive, stated at the BTC Prague event that if Bitcoin prices continue to remain low, treasury companies relying on convertible bond financing will face greater pressure, being forced to sell Bitcoin to maintain operations or repay debts, making industry consolidation inevitable. Currently, Bitcoin has dropped about 50% from its historical high of approximately $126,000 last October.Werkman pointed out that Strive previously chose to rely solely on equity financing and not issue convertible bonds, allowing it to continue operations during the bear market, citing the acquisition of Semler Scientific as a case of industry consolidation. He also mentioned that companies like Nakamoto are actively deleveraging to regain operational flexibility.
