<p><a href="https://x.com/Strive" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">@Strive</a> has edged out Michael Saylor's Strategy in the weekly bitcoin buying race, at least for one week. The Dallas-based firm <cite>purchased 759 <a href="https://x.com/search?q=%24BTC&amp;src=cashtag_click" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">$BTC</a> between June 15 and June 21 at an average cost of approximately $65,850 per coin, inclusive of fees and expenses, bringing its total bitcoin holdings to 19,864 BTC.</cite><cite>The company filed a Form 8-K with the Securities and Exchange Commission on June 22, 2026, confirming the transaction.</cite></p>
<p><cite>At the stated average price, the purchase carries a total cost of roughly $50 million, the company's largest single-week acquisition in recent months.</cite> That outpaced Strategy for the same period: <cite>Strategy acquired 520 Bitcoin for approximately $35 million in the most recent reporting period, while also increasing its dedicated USD reserve by $300 million to $1.4 billion.</cite></p>
<h2 id="a-fast-rising-treasury">A Fast-Rising Treasury</h2>
<p>The scale of the purchase is notable given how recently Strive entered the corporate bitcoin arena. <cite>A key acquisition closed in January 2026, giving Strive 12,797.9 $BTC and positioning it as one of the top corporate bitcoin holders globally, surpassing both Tesla and Trump Media and Technology Group at the time of closing.</cite><cite>In the two weeks immediately before this latest purchase, Strive had acquired just 32 BTC and then 73 BTC in back-to-back weekly disclosures for a combined $6.8 million, making the jump to 759 coins a clear signal of a return to heavier accumulation.</cite></p>
<p><cite>The company's average acquisition cost across its full treasury position sits above current prices, a gap it shares with Strategy, the largest corporate bitcoin holder globally. Strive now ranks among the top ten public corporate holders of bitcoin worldwide.</cite><cite>With an eye on the $4.2 billion war chest it outlined earlier this year, the company shows no sign of slowing its pace of accumulation heading into the second half of 2026.</cite></p>

<p>One week's figures aside, Strategy's overall position remains in a different league. <cite>Strategy holds 846,842 $BTC as of June 15, 2026, with an average purchase price of approximately $66,384 per coin and a total cost basis of $33.1 billion.</cite> Strive's rise, however, illustrates how quickly determined smaller firms can accumulate a meaningful stake when capital is available and the conviction is there.</p>
