Strive Asset Management, a financial services firm co-founded by billionaire Ohio gubernatorial candidate Vivek Ramaswamy, announced Tuesday that it signed a financial arrangement to raise $750 million that will primarily be used to buy Bitcoin.
Under the private investment public equity or PIPE financing, Strive and Asset Entities, the publicly traded company with which it will merge, can raise as much as an additional $750 million when warrants are exercised, providing up to $1.5 billion in total funds to buy the top crypto asset.
"Most Bitcoin treasury companies are valued based on multiples to their Bitcoin holdings, which makes sense because their strategies are tied to leveraged beta to Bitcoin," said Strive CEO Matt Cole, in a statement. “By contrast, our alpha-generating Bitcoin accumulation strategies are designed to drive sustained outperformance relative to Bitcoin itself, which requires a new valuation framework."
In other words, Strive is attempting to outperform its peer Bitcoin treasury companies using new innovative approaches to accumulating Bitcoin, rather than just using convertible notes, preferred stock, or at-the-market equity offerings popularized by companies like Michael Saylor’s Strategy.
Both the PIPE investment and the warrants priced ASST at $1.35 per share, a more than 100% premium on the closing share price prior to the merger announcement.
The financing will unlock Strive’s “first wave” of Bitcoin accumulation strategies, so-called “alpha” strategies which include buying distressed Bitcoin claims like those from Mt. Gox, unlocking discounted cash through acquisitions, and purchasing bottom tranches of structured Bitcoin credit vehicles.
“It is so early in this space,” said Cole at the Bitcoin 2025 conference in Las Vegas on Tuesday. “Less than 1% of companies have deployed a Bitcoin treasury strategy.”
“There is room for true differentiation, and bringing alpha into the equation is true differentiation,” he said. “These three strategies are just the first of many we’ll be having down the pipeline.”

The firm opted not to raise any debt financing in this transaction, in order to “preserve maximal leverage capacity in the future.”
“Strive is going to be an alpha-seeking asset manager,” said Cole on Tuesday. “Strive’s going to be bringing the beta, but we’re also going to be bringing the alpha.”
Strive first announced its intentions to merge with Asset Entities and create a Bitcoin treasury in early May.
Prior to that, the financial services company pushed GameStop to start adding Bitcoin to its coffers, at one point proposing that the gaming company convert all of its cash into BTC. GameStop confirmed its plans in March to start stacking Bitcoin and raised $1.5 billion towards the aim, but has yet to disclose any BTC purchases.
Strive Asset Management, a financial services firm co-founded by Republican Ohio gubernatorial candidate Vivek Ramaswamy, unveiled plans on Wednesday to become a Bitcoin treasury company and list on the Nasdaq through a merger with Asset Entities. Strive said in a press release that its merger with Asset Entities, a tech firm specializing in social media marketing and content delivery, will enable the Dallas, Texas-based firm to “build a Bitcoin war chest in a minimally dilutive manner to common...
Shares of Asset Entities, ASST, are down nearly 23% on the day to $8.07. The stock, which trades publicly on the Nasdaq Exchange, is up over 1,400% year-to-date.
Meanwhile, BTC has risen around 0.6% on the day to a current price of $109,710, not far from last Thursday’s new all-time high mark of $111,814, per data from CoinGecko.

GameStop upsized its latest offering of convertible senior notes to $2.25 billion from $1.75 billion, the video game retailer said in a press release published late on Thursday.
