Strive Buys $511M of Bitcoin as Strategy Shifts Cash Into Preferred Stock Buybacks

TradingGain Newsroom·3d ago·26 Oct 2026, 18:40 UTC

Bitcoin treasury firms Strategy and Strive made record purchases last week, but they put their money into different assets. Strategy focused on buying back its preferred stock, while Strive increased its Bitcoin buying. The split shows the two firms are taking different approaches to how they use their capital.

BTCAt the time of writing, Bitcoin traded at $80,156 (-0.59% in 24h).Live price →

Why it matters

Strive's large Bitcoin purchases add to demand for the asset from corporate treasury buyers.
Strategy paused its Bitcoin buying streak, so its direct demand for Bitcoin has eased for now.
Strategy's preferred-stock buybacks show it is using cash to support its own securities instead of Bitcoin.

What to watch next

Watch whether Strategy restarts its Bitcoin buying and whether Strive keeps adding to its holdings in the coming weeks.
