Claims and open questions
What sources claim
- Strive purchased an additional 1,223 bitcoin for approximately $100 million, at an average price of about $81,734 per bitcoin, per The Block.
- The purchase follows 2,822 BTC acquired earlier in the week, according to The Block.
- Strive's total bitcoin holdings reached 36,818 BTC, The Block reported.
Still unresolved
- Whether Strive has confirmed the 1,223 BTC purchase, the roughly $100 million outlay and the 36,818 BTC total in an official disclosure or filing; a company statement or regulatory filing would confirm it.
- The exact average purchase price per bitcoin and the exact total amount paid, which The Block reports as approximately $81,734 and about $100 million; a filing or exchange execution data would pin these down.
- The wallet addresses holding the 36,818 BTC and whether the balance can be reconciled on-chain; on-chain data tied to a disclosed address or custodian attestation would confirm it.
