Strive, Inc. has priced its upsized initial public offering (IPO) of 2 million shares of its Variable Rate Series A Perpetual Preferred Stock (SATA Stock) at $80 per share, raising approximately $160 million before expenses. The Dallas-based firm, listed on the Nasdaq under the ticker ASST, increased the offering by 750,000 shares in response to strong investor demand. Settlement is scheduled for November 10, 2025, subject to customary conditions.

Funds to Fuel Bitcoin and Asset Acquisitions

According to Strive, proceeds from the offering will be directed toward expanding its Bitcoin holdings and acquiring Bitcoin-related products. The company also plans to deploy funds for working capital, income-generating assets, share repurchases, and potential acquisitions aligned with its long-term Bitcoin treasury strategy. Strive currently holds 5,957.9 BTC as of October 27, 2025, positioning itself as the first publicly traded asset management firm built around Bitcoin reserves.

The SATA Stock will pay a variable dividend rate starting at 12% annually, with flexibility for adjustment based on market conditions and shareholder protections. Strive intends to establish a dividend reserve equal to the first 12 months of payments and may redeem shares at a minimum price of $110 per share once the shares are listed on major exchanges, such as Nasdaq or NYSE. Barclays and Cantor Fitzgerald are serving as joint book-running managers for the offering, with Clear Street acting as co-manager.

Strengthening Position as a Public Bitcoin Treasury Company

Founded in 2022, Strive Asset Management, a wholly owned subsidiary, manages over $2 billion in assets and aims to outperform Bitcoin by increasing Bitcoin per share over time. The latest capital raise underscores Strive’s ambition to expand its Bitcoin-based investment model and integrate digital asset exposure into traditional financial markets through regulated, yield-bearing instruments, such as SATA Stock.
