Strive lists SATS preferred stock on Nasdaq with 15% dividend

Bitcoin treasury company Strive said its second preferred stock, SATS, began trading on the Nasdaq and will pay a 15% dividend every business day, according to Bitcoin Magazine. Strive said it closed an upsized initial public offering of 7,000,000 SATS shares at $90 per share. CEO Matt Cole called the listing a milestone for long-term total returns. The company holds 36,818 BTC, and its common stock ASST traded 4% higher, the report said.
