Strive Surpasses Strategy in Bitcoin Purchases, Driven by Strong Demand for Zeta

Strive (NasdaqGM:ASST), a US-based investment manager in the medical equipment sector, has exceeded Strategy (MSTR) in Bitcoin purchases during the week ending September 25, 2026. This accelerated buying of Bitcoin is driven by strong demand for Strive's preferred product Zeta, which has reportedly traded at or above par. As a result, Strive has been able to continue funding additional Bitcoin accumulation.

Strive's preference for using Zeta to access capital for crypto treasury exposure has reshaped its crypto profile. This approach is shared by several other stocks with crypto exposure that are worth reviewing next through 21 cryptocurrency and blockchain stocks. With a market value of about $2.5 billion, Strive's choice to lean on preferred securities like Zeta for capital shows how a relatively mid-sized financial player is shaping its own crypto exposure path.

The demand for Zeta suggests investors are willing to fund Strive's preferred capital structure despite past dilution and share price swings. This is in line with 71.6% revenue growth and recent sharp share price moves, indicating a market that is open to the story but still pricing in meaningful uncertainty.
