Strive Inc. has piled up 43,000 bitcoin after adding 6,182 coins between Oct. 17 and Oct. 23, pushing the company's digital-asset holdings past $1.2 billion even as its stock has collapsed and its founder insists he's merely a shareholder. Vivek Ramaswamy co-founded the company in 2022 and has downplayed his current role, but regulatory filings paint a different picture of who actually controls it. Strive's bitcoin stash has exploded this year, rising from roughly 12,800 BTC earlier in 2026 to 36,818 BTC by mid-October and now to 43,000 BTC, according to Crypto Briefing. October's buying alone cost roughly $335 million, with Strive paying between $82,000 and $84,500 per coin, the outlet reported.
