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.
