Strive, a company that holds Bitcoin as a treasury asset, bought 15,124 BTC in October. That brings its total holdings to 43,124 BTC. Strive disclosed the purchases in its third-quarter earnings report, released Friday. Cointelegraph reported it on Nov 6, 2026.
October was a large share of Strive's buying this year. Across the first 10 months of 2026, the company bought 35,497 BTC in total. That means October alone accounts for 15,124 of those coins.
Strive also reported net income of $509 million for the third quarter. Cointelegraph's report says the new total brings Strive closer to the top corporate Bitcoin treasury holders. The source does not name those companies or say how much they hold.
Several things are still not known from the report. It does not say what Strive paid for the October coins or how it funded them. It also does not say whether the company plans to buy more.
For anyone who already holds a perpetual futures position on Bitget, Bybit, MEXC or OKX, this news changes nothing directly. The report covers spot Bitcoin bought by a company. It says nothing about funding rates, trading fees or order-book liquidity on any perpetual futures exchange. The cost of keeping an open position is still set by each exchange's funding and fee schedule, not by this purchase.
