An ATM program allows a public company to sell securities into the market over time at current market prices.<\/p>\n<p>Strive said the proposed changes would raise its Class A common stock ATM program to $2.55 billion. The company also expects its SATA Stock ATM program to rise to $2.6 billion.<\/p>\n<p>SATA Stock refers to Strive\u2019s Variable Rate Series A Perpetual Preferred Stock. The company said the ATM changes still depend on the completion of documents, SEC prospectus filings, and a certificate amendment for the SATA Stock.<\/p>\n<p>Strive CEO Matt Cole said on X that the company expects to raise the size of both the ASST and SATA ATM programs by $2.1 billion each. Cole said the planned increase came from \u201ca sustained increase in liquidity and demand for both securities.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The proposed ATM increase would not create an immediate capital raise, according to the filing. However, the filing indicates that Strive may have additional capacity to raise capital for corporate needs, acquisitions, operating support, or future treasury activities.<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- .cn-block-related-link --><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Strategy sale adds market contrast<\/h2>\n<p>The filing came after Strategy, the largest corporate bitcoin holder, disclosed the sale of 32 bitcoin for $2.5 million. Strategy said the sale took place at an average price of $77,135 per bitcoin.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Benchmark analyst Mark Palmer initiated coverage of Strive with a Buy rating and a $32 price target on Tuesday. The price target suggested roughly 93% upside after Strive\u2019s Class A common stock fell 3.59% to $16.58 in pre-market trading.<\/p>\n<p>Strive\u2019s latest filings now place the company\u2019s bitcoin holdings, financing plans, and operating-business structure at the center of investor attention.<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- .cn-block-related-link --><\/p><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Strive Inc. has raised its Bitcoin holdings to 19,000 BTC after buying an additional 2,500 BTC between May 23 and June 1, 2026.
