According to Bitcoin Magazine, as disclosed in the 13F filing submitted on November 5, Bank of New York Mellon (BNY Mellon) increased its holdings in Bitcoin treasury company Strive (ASST) by 28% in the third quarter, bringing the total to 237,100 shares, valued at $6.97 million based on the price as of September 30.Compared to the 185,556 shares disclosed on June 30, this increase of 51,544 shares had a market value of approximately $2.02 million at that time. The increase in market value was mainly due to the stock price: the implied ASST price in the two filings rose from $10.91 on June 30 to $29.41 on September 30, resulting in a more than doubling of the disclosed market value alongside a 28% increase in the number of shares held.The 13F is a snapshot at a point in time rather than a trading record. Bank of New York Mellon submitted a consolidated report covering group-level holdings, so Strive's position may include client, fund, and discretionary accounts, rather than a single proprietary bet, and the bank may have adjusted its holdings after September 30.As of September 30, the bank's assets under custody and administration amounted to $63.4 trillion, with managed assets totaling $2.2 trillion. In the same report, its Bitcoin-related positions also included 1,056,230 shares of Strategy (MSTR), valued at $161.7 million, and 162,072 shares of BlackRock iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT), valued at $7.67 million, the latter nearly doubling from 85,282 shares as of June 30.According to regulations, institutions with investment decision-making authority over securities exceeding $100 million must disclose their holdings within 45 days after the end of the quarter, with this quarter's window extending to November 16 due to November 14 falling on a Saturday.JPMorgan submitted its third-quarter 13F this Thursday, while Wells Fargo, Millennium Management, and Schonfeld Strategic Advisors had not yet appeared in the SEC's EDGAR system as of Thursday morning.Among the disclosed banks, Barclays reported holding 3,942,900 shares of IBIT, valued at $186.7 million, an increase of 48% from 2,658,147 shares three months ago, in a filing on November 6; Citigroup reported holding 521,144 shares of IBIT, valued at $24.7 million, in a filing on November 4, and added 1,636,387 shares of Fidelity Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund (FBTC), valued at $118.9 million.

According to Cointelegraph, Strive has raised the annual dividend rate of its perpetual preferred stock SATA to 13.25%, effective from December 1.The fixed annual dividend rate of SATS will remain at 15%. Strive currently holds approximately 43,153 BTC.

Bitcoin News posted on the X platform that Strive's Chief Investment Officer Ben Werkman believes that Bitcoin reserve companies should measure performance using a single metric, BTC Yield, which is the growth in the number of Bitcoins per share.He stated that if issuing additional shares to purchase Bitcoins increases the number of Bitcoins per share, existing holders will benefit; if it decreases, existing holders will effectively subsidize new shareholders.Strive claims its BTC Yield for the year is 63%, and last week it increased its holdings by purchasing 29 Bitcoins at a price of $75,721 each, costing $2.2 million, and currently holds 43,153 Bitcoins.

Fidelity increased its holdings in Strive by 2.35 million shares, bringing the total shareholding to 265.3 million USD.

Strive's Chief Investment Officer Ben Werkman stated that the growth rate of Bitcoin holdings per share is a key indicator of the capital allocation efficiency of treasury companies, but it cannot be assessed in isolation from financing costs and capital structure.When a company's stock price is at a premium relative to its Bitcoin net assets, issuing common stock to purchase Bitcoin can increase the per-share holding amount. Stock buybacks can also enhance this metric, but may deplete cash reserves. Werkman noted that if the funds raised from preferred stock financing are continuously used to buy back common stock, it may weaken the asset protection of preferred stock dividends and harm the interests of preferred stock investors.

Chief Investment Officer Ben Werkman believes that Bitcoin Treasury companies should weigh the impact of stock issuance, credit financing, and buybacks on different investors.

According to SEC filings, Strive increased its holdings by 29 BTC at an average price of approximately $75,721 from October 31 to November 6, significantly slowing the pace of accumulation, and as of November 6, it held a total of 43,153 BTC.According to CEO Matt Cole, this acquisition cost $2.2 million, with an average cost of $75,721 per Bitcoin.

According to the SEC documents submitted by Strive (Nasdaq: ASST), the company's revenue for the third quarter of 2026 was $2.696 million, a year-on-year increase of 74.7%; the net profit was $509 million, compared to a loss of approximately $207 million in the same period last year. This quarter's profit was mainly driven by approximately $534 million in unrealized gains from Bitcoin.In the third quarter, Strive purchased 8,136 BTC at an average price of $78,885 per coin. As of September 30, the company held 28,000 BTC, with a fair value of approximately $2.34 billion.During the quarter, the company raised approximately $783 million through the issuance of common and preferred stock, and completed another preferred stock issuance in October, netting approximately $609 million.

According to Cointelegraph, Strive CEO Matt Cole stated that the approximately $6.3 billion theft from Binance has not changed his long-term investment judgment on Bitcoin. Considering the scale of the attack and the overall market weakness, the decline in Bitcoin's price was less than he expected, but it is still too early to determine whether the price has bottomed out. Currently, the price of Bitcoin is about $77,400, down about 4% from before the attack began on Thursday. Strive previously disclosed that as of October 23, it held 43,000 BTC.Cole compared this wallet attack to a bank robbery, rather than a failure of the Bitcoin network. Paul Chapman, the financial crime chief at Wirex, also emphasized that the attack targeted a company's system, not the Bitcoin network itself.Regarding future trends, Cole believes the market is in an "early spring" recovery phase, which may last another 6 to 9 months, with prices gradually rising rather than rapidly hitting new highs. He stated that this incident would not change his investment logic regarding Bitcoin over any reasonable time span.In terms of historical market reactions, after Bybit was attacked for $1.5 billion in 2025, combined with overall market volatility, Bitcoin fell from nearly $100,000 to about $95,000, a decline of about 5%. Additionally, according to CNBC citing Anchorage Digital data, in the past, after cryptocurrency trading platforms were attacked, Bitcoin's average decline in the first 24 hours was 8.3%.The investigation into the attack is still ongoing. Blockaid CEO Ido Ben-Natan believes that the attackers may have exploited Binance's trading signature process, as his analysis found a transaction containing 50 signature authorizations, with matching authorizations allowing the code controlled by the attackers to execute through the wallet. Binance stated that as of Friday, no evidence of wallet private key leakage had been found.

Financial services company StoneX raised the target price for Bitcoin public company Strive (stock ticker ASST) from $32 to $43, an increase of approximately 34%, and reiterated a buy rating.

According to The Block, StoneX raised the target price for Bitcoin treasury company Strive from $32 by 34% to $43, maintaining a buy rating. Analyst Mark Palmer stated that Strive's recent completion of the SATS preferred stock IPO and the expiration of traditional warrants constitute a "clean reset" of the company's capital structure, highlighting its all-preferred stock Bitcoin treasury model.On October 20, Strive completed an expanded IPO of 7 million shares of 15% SATS preferred stock, raising gross proceeds of $630 million. The SATS annual dividend yield is 15%, and the company has reserved enough funds to cover payments for the first 18 months. Palmer noted that SATS has a lower priority than the previous SATA preferred stock, so every dollar raised will increase assets without increasing claims that are senior to the senior preferred stock.Strive disclosed on Monday that from October 17 to 23, it purchased 6,182 BTC, increasing its total holdings to 43,000 BTC.

According to SEC filings, Strive purchased 6,182 Bitcoins at an average price of approximately $82,732 (including fees and expenses) from October 17 to 23.As of October 23, Strive held a total of 43,000 Bitcoins, with cash and cash equivalents amounting to $504.4 million, an increase of $186.9 million compared to October 16; it also held 505,000 shares of Strategy STRC preferred stock, with a fair value of approximately $50.18 million.During the same period, the number of Strive Class A common shares outstanding increased by approximately 3.266 million shares to about 118.1 million shares, with 7 million SATS preferred shares outstanding, and the number of SATA preferred shares remained unchanged at approximately 14.03 million shares.

According to disclosures from the U.S. SEC, Bitcoin Treasury Company Strive has signed a sales agreement with seven institutions including Cantor Fitzgerald, Barclays, Clear Street, StoneX, B. Riley Securities, Maxim Group, and H.C. Wainwright, planning to periodically sell up to 15% of Series A perpetual preferred stock with a total issuance price of up to $1 billion through ATM (at-the-market) offerings, with the stock ticker SATS.The document shows that the annual dividend yield for the preferred stock issued this time is 15%, with a set amount of $100 per share. Strive may issue shares based on market conditions through existing trading markets such as Nasdaq or other legal means, with the relevant institutions acting as sales agents, with a commission of up to 2% of the total proceeds from each sale.This issuance is considered an additional offering and does not include the previously issued 7 million shares of SATS preferred stock. The document states that Strive may issue shares periodically based on market conditions, and the actual issuance scale and timing will depend on the company's arrangements and market conditions.

Strategy, Strive, and other Bitcoin treasury companies support the purchase of 135,979 Bitcoins through preferred stock financing, accounting for over 0.5% of the maximum Bitcoin supply; the related preferred stock market size is approximately $12 billion. Perpetual preferred stock has no fixed maturity date, which can alleviate refinancing pressure and attract income-oriented investors who are unwilling to hold Bitcoin directly; however, an increase in issuance size will also raise dividend expenses.Continuous financing for Bitcoin purchases relies on preferred stock trading at or near par value. If the price falls below par, the attractiveness of new issuances may decline, and the company may also turn to buybacks. CoinShares Research Director James Butterfill stated that Strategy's latest weekly report shows the company spent $193 million to repurchase STRC, while simultaneously buying 267 Bitcoins and increasing the preferred stock buyback authorization limit to $3 billion. Buybacks can reduce future dividend costs but may also compete for funds with Bitcoin purchases.Bitwise Research Director Ryan Rasmussen expects that ETFs will remain a larger source of Bitcoin demand in the long term, while perpetual preferred stock covers different groups of income-oriented investors, providing another source of demand support for the market. Butterfill believes that preferred stock may amplify market cycles: when financing conditions are favorable, it supports Bitcoin purchases, but when market sentiment weakens, this support may diminish.

Strive announced that its newly issued preferred stock SATS has raised $630 million through its initial public offering (IPO) and has been listed on Nasdaq. The raised funds will be used to purchase more Bitcoin and income-generating assets.The preferred stock has a fixed annual dividend rate of 15%, paid daily, with the first dividend scheduled to be distributed on November 9.
