It follows a <a href=\"https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/crypto-news\/strive-buys-2000-bitcoin-treasury-push-picks-up-steam\/\">2,000 BTC purchase<\/a> worth approximately $169 million the previous week, bringing its two-week accumulation to 5,311 BTC at a cost of nearly $449 million.<\/p>\n<p>Strive\u2019s latest purchase was fueled substantially by warrant exercises. Chairman and CEO <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/ColeMacro\/status\/2109978048175251562\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Matt Cole said<\/a> approximately $208 million worth of warrants had been exercised, while about 15.3 million shares underlying outstanding warrants remained eligible for exercise ahead of their expiration at 5 p.m. ET on Tuesday.<\/p>\n<p>The company\u2019s filing showed that shares underlying outstanding traditional warrants declined by nearly 8 million during the week, while its Class A common shares outstanding increased by approximately 9.46 million.<\/p>\n<p>Strive also expanded its preferred stock financing. Shares outstanding of its Variable Rate Series A Perpetual Preferred Stock, known as SATA, increased by 532,094 to approximately 14.03 million. The filing did not specify an exact dollar breakdown of all financing sources used for the bitcoin purchase.<\/p>\n<h2>SATA Issuance Gets a Binding Restriction<\/h2>\n<p>In a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sec.gov\/ix?doc=\/Archives\/edgar\/data\/0001920406\/000162828026065594\/asst-20261012.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">separate regulatory filing<\/a>, Strive formalized its commitment not to issue SATA shares below $100 apiece, turning a previously announced policy into a binding restriction under the security\u2019s governing documents. The company also maintained SATA\u2019s 13% annual dividend rate for November, declaring daily dividends totaling approximately $1.08 per share for the month.<\/p>\n<p>Despite its substantial bitcoin purchases, Strive\u2019s cash and cash equivalents increased by $25.6 million during the week to $310.3 million.<\/p>\n<p>The latest buying spree also highlights a widening contrast with Michael Saylor\u2019s Strategy, which announced Monday that it had <a href=\"https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/crypto-news\/strategy-buys-more-bitcoin-and-retires-nearly-2m-strc-shares\/\">purchased just 250 BTC<\/a> for $21.5 million during its latest reporting period.<\/p>\n<p>Strive acquired more than 13 times as much bitcoin as Strategy during their respective buying windows. However, Strategy remains overwhelmingly larger, holding 848,250 BTC\u2014valued near $71 billion as of this writing\u2014compared with Strive\u2019s 32,773 BTC, worth about $2.73 billion.<\/p>\n<p>Strategy also spent approximately $192.4 million repurchasing nearly 1.93 million shares of its <a href=\"https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/finance\/bitcoin-giant-strategy-strc-nearly-hit-100-breaking-buyback-promise\/\">STRC preferred stock<\/a>, substantially more than it allocated toward bitcoin acquisitions during the period.<\/p>\n<p>Strive, meanwhile, continues to hold 505,000 shares of Strategy\u2019s STRC, valued at approximately $50.3 million as of Oct. 9.<\/p>\n<p>The aggressive accumulation brings Strive closer to its ambition of becoming the world\u2019s second-largest publicly traded bitcoin holder. The company currently ranks fifth, behind Strategy, Metaplanet, Twenty One, and MARA Holdings, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/bitcointreasuries.net\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener
