Strive, Inc. moved on weakness in bitcoin’s price, acquiring 2,500 BTC for roughly $185.2 million at an average of $74,092 per coin. The purchase, disclosed via an SEC Form 8-K filing on June 2, lifts the Dallas-based treasury company’s total bitcoin holdings to 19,000 BTC — planting it among the top ten publicly traded corporate holders of the asset.

Strive launched in 2022 as an anti-ESG asset manager, founded by entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy with a focus on shareholder-first capital allocation. In September 2025, shareholders of Asset Entities Inc. approved a merger with Strive Enterprises to form a combined, publicly listed entity under the ASST ticker.

CME Group, the world’s largest derivatives marketplace, has launched 24/7 trading for cryptocurrency futures and options, marking a structural shift in how regulated derivatives markets align with the nonstop nature of digital assets.

The fate of America’s current crypto market may hinge on a Senate vote expected this month, and few people are watching it closer than Coinbase Chief Policy Officer Faryar Shirzad.

In an interview on Fox Business’ Mornings with Maria earlier today, Shirzad made the case that the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act — known as the CLARITY Act — represents the most significant financial regulatory legislation since Dodd-Frank, and that passage is within reach.

“This will be the biggest financial regulatory bill that Congress has done in quite some time, certainly since Dodd-Frank,” Shirzad said. “What this does is it creates clarity for the crypto sector.”

On May 5, Michael Saylor made an unusual comment.

“We will probably sell some Bitcoin to pay a dividend just to inoculate the market. Just to send the message that we did it.”

At the time, the statement caught many people off guard.

For years, Strategy had built its reputation around an uncompromising commitment to accumulating and holding Bitcoin. The idea that the company would voluntarily sell Bitcoin, even a tiny amount, seemed to run counter to that narrative.

Then it happened.

BREAKING: @Strategy (MSTR) sold 32 BTC for ~$2.5 million at an average price of ~$77,135 per bitcoin.

The sale represents less than 0.004% of @Strategy’s BTC holdings.

While Bitcoin is often viewed strictly as a financial asset, a growing number of 2026 operators are treating it as something entirely different: a stack of operational capabilities to vertically integrate.

In traditional manufacturing, vertical integration is one of the oldest competitive moves in the playbook. A car company that owns its tire factory is vertically integrated; Apple, by owning its silicon, operating system, storefront, and device, is the modern textbook case. The structural advantages, lower costs, fewer dependencies, and tighter control over quality, are now being claimed by companies integrating Bitcoin into multiple stages of how they produce, hold, move, and earn…
