Seventh Largest Corporate Bitcoin Holder Proposes 4.2 Billion Bitcoin Buying Expansion as Saylor Sells

Strive, the seventh-largest corporate Bitcoin treasury company, has announced plans to expand its Bitcoin buying capacity, proposing a $4.2 billion increase across two of its at-the-market programmes as institutional appetite for Bitcoin continues to grow.

Chief Executive Matt Cole said the company intends to increase both its ASST and SATA ATM programmes by $2.1 billion each, citing sustained growth in liquidity and investor demand for both securities. A full balance sheet update was promised for the following morning before markets opened.

Where Strive Stands Today

Strive currently holds approximately 16,500 Bitcoin valued at around $1.27 billion. Last week alone, the company raised approximately $194 million through its SATA preferred stock offering, equivalent to roughly 2,621 Bitcoin at current market prices. The $4.2 billion expansion proposal would give the company significantly more firepower to continue accumulating at scale.

The Contrast With Strategy

The announcement arrived on the same day that Strategy, the largest corporate Bitcoin holder in the world, made headlines for selling 32 Bitcoin worth $2.5 million to cover preferred stock dividend obligations. While that sale triggered a sharp market reaction and briefly pushed Bitcoin below $72,000, Strive’s move tells a different story about institutional direction overall. One company sold 0.0038% of its holdings for a dividend payment. Another is raising billions to buy more.

What It Signals

Strive’s expansion proposal shows a broader pattern of institutional Bitcoin accumulation that has continued regardless of short-term price volatility. By expanding ATM capacity rather than relying solely on equity or debt issuance, the company is building a more flexible funding structure that allows it to respond quickly to market conditions and price dips.

Cole’s announcement signals that Strive intends to move up the corporate Bitcoin treasury rankings aggressively, and a $4.2 billion capacity expansion suggests the ambition behind that goal is significant.
