Strive closes $630M SATS IPO, leaves Bitcoin allocation unspecified
Cointelegraph reported that Strive closed a $630 million initial public offering for its SATS vehicle, as stated in its headline. The Bitcoin treasury company has not specified how much of the proceeds will go to Bitcoin; the publisher estimated the net proceeds could buy about 7,372 BTC, which would potentially exceed Metaplanet's holdings if the full amount were allocated.
Only one publisher so far. Another independent outlet or an official source would raise it.
