Strive becomes 7th largest public company Bitcoin holder with ~$1.7B BTC

Strive's entry into the top tier of corporate Bitcoin holders signals that asset managers are increasingly willing to allocate meaningful balance-sheet exposure to the asset, not just via funds. This could pressure peer firms to revisit treasury strategies, though the scale of such moves remains selective. The key question is whether this trend broadens beyond dedicated crypto-aligned managers or stays concentrated among niche players.
