Summary
Strive made three major capital allocation moves in spring 2026. The company eliminated all debt by repurchasing its remaining long-term notes, deployed over $105 million to acquire 1,381 additional bitcoin (bringing total holdings to 15,009 coins), and restructured its preferred stock dividend schedule from monthly to daily payments while maintaining the 13% annual rate. Retail holders of the preferred stock should note the operational change: starting June 16, dividends will be paid daily rather than monthly, though the total annual payout remains unchanged at 13%.
The company emphasized these distributions are expected to qualify as tax-deferred return of capital. With $87.6 million in cash remaining after the bitcoin purchases and debt repayment, investors should watch whether management continues aggressive bitcoin accumulation or shifts to other uses of capital. The Q1 earnings details in the attached press release will provide context on operating performance that funded these treasury moves.
