Bitcoin was near its 200-week moving average of roughly $68,000, Strive CEO Matt Cole said. The measure smooths about 200 weeks of Bitcoin prices into a single line. Cole argued that, historically, being near that line has often been a favorable time to increase Bitcoin exposure. That historical observation does not establish that the line can predict what happens next.
Cole also said Strive could continue issuing preferred shares during market declines to raise what he called its Bitcoin “amplification ratio.” According to Cole, the ratio was 30% on December 31, 2025, when Bitcoin was around $87,500; it reached 55% by September 30, 2026, when Bitcoin was around $83,600. He said it exceeded 70% after the launch of SATS and the subsequent decline. The report does not explain how the ratio is calculated, so those figures cannot be independently interpreted as a standard Bitcoin valuation measure.
Cole further said Strive’s ASST shares had risen about 51% since the start of 2026 while Bitcoin had fallen about 19% over the same period. His view that the market had not fully reflected Strive’s capital structure and long-term return potential is an assessment, not a demonstrated outcome.
