Strive’s SATA IPO: $80 a Share, Bitcoin’s on the Rise (or is it?) 🚀💰

by

Key Highlights

  • Strive, ever the overachiever, upped its IPO from 1.25 million to a full 2 million shares. How… ambitious.
  • The first Bitcoin treasury company (BTCTC) to fund its Bitcoin amplification strategy using publicly traded perpetual preferred equity. How… avant-garde.
  • SATA stock offers a yield opportunity with a cumulative, variable-rate dividend. Initially set at $12 per annum. How… generous.

Strive, Inc. has just announced the closing of its Initial Public Offering (IPO) of 2,000,000 shares of its Variable Rate Series A Perpetual Preferred Stock. Traded on the Nasdaq, naturally. At $80 per share, no less.

The IPO was oversubscribed, from a targeted 1.25 million shares. A testament to investor demand, or perhaps a case of “buy the dip” gone mad. Bitcoin dipped below $100,000, yet here we are, cheering for a stock that’s already flirting with $90.60. How… surreal.

Strive’s Bitcoin amplification efforts

Strive has become the first Bitcoin treasury company to fund its Bitcoin amplification efforts exclusively through perpetual preferred equity. A bold move, akin to wearing a top hat while juggling flaming torches. It follows Strategy as the second company to issue such a security. How… thrilling.

The offering aims to create a “Bitcoin amplification toggle,” enabling Strive to accumulate additional Bitcoin through non-dilutive financing. A fancy way of saying, “We’ll grow our BTC stash without annoying our shareholders.” The SATA stock features a positive yield opportunity with a variable-rate cumulative dividend, initially set at 12% per annum. How… capitalist.

Strive aims to manage the dividend and issuance rate with the goal of maintaining the stock’s trading price within a stated long-term range of $95 and $105 per share. A noble endeavor, if you ignore the fact that Bitcoin is currently playing musical chairs with its value. The company expects the dividends to be classified as return of capital (ROC) dividends. In layman’s terms: “We’re giving you your money back… but with a side of tax advantages.”

Strive’s journey so far

Strive is known as the first publicly traded asset management Bitcoin treasury company (BTCTC). Its common stock, ASST, began trading publicly in September 2025. How… recent. The SATA stock is the second major component of the company’s capital structure strategy, following an equity-only financing in September 2025 that was, at the time, the largest ever for a BTCTC. How… audacious.

The company’s subsidiary, Strive Asset Management, LLC, has grown to manage over $2 billion in assets since launching its first ETF in August 2022. As of November 10, 2025, Strive holds 7,525 BTC, including 1,567 BTC purchased at an average price of $103,315. How… optimistic.

Future implications

Strive’s leadership states that Bitcoin’s characteristics-scarcity, liquidity, and transparency-provide an “incredible foundation” for a disciplined, long-duration, risk-conscious yield instrument. How… poetic. The successful use of this non-dilutive perpetual preferred equity structure could establish a new blueprint for financing growth within the Bitcoin treasury industry. How… revolutionary.

The closing of the oversubscribed SATA IPO shows Strive’s ability to execute a capital strategy quickly, reinforcing its position as a leading BTCTC. By launching this perpetual preferred equity security, the company has secured a non-dilutive financial tool to further its strategy of Bitcoin accumulation. How… clever. Or perhaps, just a very well-timed gamble.
