What to know:
- $750 million raised at $1.35/share with potential to reach $1.5B upon warrant exercise, representing a 121% premium to ASST’s prior closing price.
- Bitcoin Strategy: Funds to support acquisitions of biotech firms, distressed bitcoin claims (e.g., Mt. Gox), and discounted structured bitcoin credit instruments.
- Capital Structure: No debt incurred in the deal, preserving future borrowing capacity to enhance equity returns.
Strive closed a $750 million private investment in public equity (PIPE) round, with an option to increase the financing by another $750 million if the warrants are exercised.
This capital will fund Strive’s initial wave of bitcoin buys as the firm builds its bitcoin treasury. The Vivek Ramaswamy-founded firm will deploy alpha-generating strategies aimed at outperforming bitcoin.

CEO Matt Cole emphasized that Strive’s approach demands a new valuation framework. This strategy is driven by acquisitions of undervalued biotech firms, distressed bitcoin claims—including Mt. Gox claims via a partnership with 117 Partners LLC—and discounted tranches of structured bitcoin credit.
Last week, the firm said it is eyeing $7.9 billion worth of Mt. Gox bitcoin claims as it looks to build its bitcoin treasury and go public via a merger with Asset Entities (ASST).

The PIPE was priced at $1.35 per share, a 121% premium over ASST’s pre-announcement closing price, and carries no debt financing to preserve future leverage capacity.
Cole is set to present these strategies at the bitcoin for Corporations Symposium in Las Vegas.
