Strive Asset Management Chief Executive Officer Matt Cole is set to speak at the Bitcoin Treasuries Conference 2026, the firm confirmed Thursday, as the Nasdaq-listed company holds 19,900 bitcoin and rolls out what it calls Wall Street's first daily-dividend Bitcoin product.
"Bitcoin represents a generational opportunity to build shareholder value through disciplined treasury management," Cole said in a statement. "Our strategy is straightforward: accumulate bitcoin, maximize bitcoin-per-share, and give investors direct exposure to the asset through innovative capital markets products."
The Dallas-based firm, founded in 2022 by Vivek Ramaswamy and Anson Frericks, went public last year through a reverse merger with Asset Entities under the ticker ASST. Strive has accumulated its 19,900 BTC treasury through a series of purchases, including 1,567 bitcoin bought in late 2025 at an average price of $103,315 and 123 more added in January 2026 at $91,561, according to SEC filings. The company reported cash and cash equivalents of $154.1 million as of July 10.
Strive ranks among the largest public corporate holders of bitcoin, ahead of names such as Tesla and Trump Media. The firm is also working through an all-stock acquisition of Semler Scientific that would bring roughly 5,048 additional bitcoin onto its balance sheet. Chief Risk Officer Jeff Walton projected in recent remarks that bitcoin could reach a $10 trillion to $15 trillion valuation, reflecting the firm's conviction in the asset as a core treasury holding.
