According to The Block, StoneX raised the target price for Bitcoin treasury company Strive from $32 by 34% to $43, maintaining a buy rating. Analyst Mark Palmer stated that Strive's recent completion of the SATS preferred stock IPO and the expiration of traditional warrants constitute a "clean reset" of the company's capital structure, highlighting its all-preferred stock Bitcoin treasury model.On October 20, Strive completed an expanded IPO of 7 million shares of 15% SATS preferred stock, raising gross proceeds of $630 million. The SATS annual dividend yield is 15%, and the company has reserved enough funds to cover payments for the first 18 months.

Strategy, Strive, and other Bitcoin treasury companies support the purchase of 135,979 Bitcoins through preferred stock financing, accounting for over 0.5% of the maximum Bitcoin supply; the related preferred stock market size is approximately $12 billion. Perpetual preferred stock has no fixed maturity date, which can alleviate refinancing pressure and attract income-oriented investors who are unwilling to hold Bitcoin directly; however, an increase in issuance size will also raise dividend expenses.Continuous financing for Bitcoin purchases relies on preferred stock trading at or near par value. If the price falls below par, the attractiveness of new issuances may decline, and the company may also turn to buybacks. CoinShares Research Director James Butterfill stated that Strategy's latest weekly report shows the company spent $193 million to repurchase STRC, while simultaneously buying 267 Bitcoins and increasing the preferred stock buyback authorization limit to $3 billion. Buybacks can reduce future dividend costs but may also compete for funds with Bitcoin purchases.Bitwise Research Director Ryan Rasmussen expects that ETFs will remain a larger source of Bitcoin demand in the long term, while perpetual preferred stock covers different groups of income-oriented investors, providing another source of demand support for the market. Butterfill believes that preferred stock may amplify market cycles: when financing conditions are favorable, it supports Bitcoin purchases, but when market sentiment weakens, this support may diminish.

Strive announced that its newly issued preferred stock SATS has raised $630 million through its initial public offering (IPO) and has been listed on Nasdaq.

Matt Cole, the CEO of Bitcoin Treasury Company Strive, stated on the X platform that the long-term trend of currency depreciation will continue to drive the appreciation of scarce assets. Bitcoin, as digital gold, is still in its early stages of development, and as the market matures, its long-term performance is expected to surpass that of gold.Cole pointed out that over the past 55 years, gold has had a compound annual growth rate that exceeded the growth rate of the U.S. M2 money supply during multiple periods. Specifically, since 1970, the rates have been 9% and 6.7%, respectively; since the global financial crisis, they have been 9.5% and 6.3%; and since the COVID-19 pandemic, they have been 18.3% and 6.5%. Cole believes that as the debt crisis continues to worsen, the long-term outperformance of scarce assets relative to the dollar may further expand.For Strive, the key to outperforming Bitcoin lies in maintaining a high Bitcoin exposure multiplier and sufficient liquidity, rather than simply reducing financing costs. He emphasized that establishing and maintaining high Bitcoin exposure while avoiding financial risks is extremely challenging, and the market currently underestimates Strive's competitive advantages in Bitcoin exposure amplification and liquidity management. Its core investment philosophy is to reduce dollar exposure in the long term and increase Bitcoin allocation.

Strive CEO Matt Cole released the company's Bitcoin holdings data chart on the X platform, with the caption "Now stack sats with double the horsepower," suggesting that BTC accumulation data may be disclosed next week. This move may follow the example of Strategy founder Michael Saylor.
