Strive CEO Matt Cole took to X to highlight the latest purchase completed by the company he runs, which accumulated another 1,223 BTC at an average price of $81,734 per unit.
Consequently, Strive’s total holdings have hit 36,818 BTC, which, given the cryptocurrency’s price as of press time of just over $82,000, puts the USD value at more than $3 billion.
Last Wed-Fri, Strive acquired 1,223 BTC at an average cost of $81,734 per bitcoin, bringing holdings to ₿36,818.

The company has really accelerated its BTC accumulation efforts in recent weeks. In the past eight days alone, it has announced three major purchases.
This streak began with the second-largest single bitcoin buy in its history, in which it scooped 3,311 BTC. A day later, Cole outlined another one for 2,822 BTC, completed for $235 million.
Interestingly, Strive’s accumulation spree has far outperformed Strategy’s attempts by a substantial margin. Despite its more modest acquisitions as of late, the Saylor-led company remains the undisputed leader in the BTC accumulation game.
