Strive CEO: February was ASST bear market bottom, team bought heavily

A chief executive calling a bottom in his own listed vehicle is a positioning statement as much as a market one, and the disclosure that the team bought heavily turns it into a claim about insider conviction. That matters for anyone tracking how crypto-adjacent public equities are being managed through drawdowns, since it frames the February weakness as accumulation rather than retreat. The open question is whether that buying was a one-off response to dislocation or the start of a sustained pattern, and whether the market treats the CEO's bottom call as signal or as talk.
