Strive’s SATA preferred stock raised enough capital to support an estimated purchase of 603 BTC during its first week of transitioning to daily dividends. The milestone arrived during a period of sharp leverage liquidations that temporarily pressured valuations across the sector.
BitcoinTreasuries.net’s ATM Tracker data shows that the perpetual high-yield instrument, designed to trade near its $100 par value, recorded significant net inflows between June 15 and June 17, 2026.
Strive’s global treasury is currently about 19,105 BTC. The tracker indicates that the combined purchasing capacity from this week represents an increase of nearly 3.2% of its total digital asset holdings.
In a proportional comparison cited by market analysts, Strategy would need to raise funds to acquire around 26,728 BTC to match the same growth percentage relative to its reported balance of 846,842 BTC.
Volatility also showed up on traditional exchange platforms. The competitor’s alternative, STRC, fell to lows of $82.53 before rebounding on a technical basis. Strive’s SATA moved from par value into the low $90s, closing its cycle at $97.71 after touching a daily floor of $92.90.
Trading activity differed from typical levels. Transactional metrics for STRC averaged $10.6 million versus a usual mean of $3.6 million. For Strive’s holdings, trading volume reached $1.57 million compared with an ordinary average of 386,698.
Strive CEO Matt Cole attributed the declines to forced liquidations of leveraged positions by institutional third parties. He said the move was not linked to the issuer’s intrinsic credit quality.
According to Cole, some institutional investors may have borrowed against these low-volatility digital fixed-income instruments to optimize returns. When unfavorable price movements occurred in the open market, forced selling temporarily detached valuations from their underlying mathematical fundamentals.
Strive’s reserves dedicated to paying daily dividends remain operational and free of liquidity pressures, according to statements from executive management. Both Strive and the competing firm continue to use at-the-market (ATM) stock selling programs to expand their corporate crypto-asset balance sheets during scheduled trading windows in the coming weeks.
Bitcoin (BTC) investors who use steady dollar-cost averaging (DCA) may be underperforming versus strategies that adjust exposure to the market’s cycle, according to new research arguing that Bitcoin’s behavior differs from traditional long-duration assets.
