TL;DR: Strive purchased another 1,223 Bitcoin over two days, taking its reported holdings to 36,818 BTC in a fresh SEC filing.

Strive’s Bitcoin buying spree continued through the middle of October. In a filing dated Monday, the company disclosed the purchase of 1,223 BTC between October 14 and October 16, bringing its total reported holdings to 36,818 coins.

The latest purchase cost roughly $100 million at an average price of about $81,734 per Bitcoin, according to the company’s figures. It followed an earlier acquisition of 2,822 BTC in the same week, showing how aggressively the corporate treasury strategy has accelerated.

The size of the holding puts Strive among the largest publicly traded Bitcoin owners. That creates an unusual relationship between the company’s shares, its balance sheet and the price of Bitcoin: investors are evaluating not only the coins it holds, but also how management finances future purchases.

Preferred shares, equity issuance and other capital-market tools are increasingly central to the treasury-company model. They can give firms more ways to acquire Bitcoin, but also raise questions around funding costs, dilution and the risk of buying into volatile markets.

Strive’s announcement does not tell us where Bitcoin prices go next. It does, however, give a clear snapshot of one company’s conviction and the increasing scale of its exposure.

The key metric for shareholders will be whether that accumulation creates value per share, not just a larger total Bitcoin balance.

TL;DR: SkyAI says it has sold all its SOL and started a cash tender offer that could cost roughly $201.3 million if fully subscribed.

SkyAI’s experiment as a Solana treasury company has taken a dramatic turn. Rather than simply holding through market volatility, the Nasdaq-listed firm says it has sold its entire SOL position and is offering to buy back as much as 95% of certain outstanding shares and warrants.

An October 19 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission puts the proposed cash purchase price at $3 per share or warrant. If everyone eligible tenders the maximum amount, the purchase would total approximately $201.3 million.

The company disclosed $223.8 million in cash as of October 16 and confirmed that its Solana sales were complete by that point. Consequently, the tender offer is no longer conditional on the price of SOL — a material change from an earlier version of the plan.

The decision is noteworthy because many listed cryptocurrency treasury companies have spent recent months explaining why they intend to keep accumulating tokens. SkyAI is moving in the opposite direction and returning cash to investors through an offer whose terms are defined in its SEC documents.

Shareholders still have choices to make. The tender is scheduled to expire on October 29 unless it is extended or terminated earlier, and the offer remains subject to its stated conditions.

SkyAI’s move is not a verdict on Solana’s technology. It is a reminder that the capital structures wrapped around crypto holdings can change much faster than the networks underneath them.
