Jeff Walton: How Strive Supercharged its Bitcoin Buying Strategy

Strive was one of the best performing stocks in the Russell 2000 over the past month, and Chief Risk Officer Jeff Walton says the company is on pace to double its Bitcoin holdings roughly every 12 weeks. In this conversation with Grace Remington and Sean Hagan, Walton explains how Strive manages its liquidity position while scaling that fast, why the balance sheet just crossed $2.5 billion in total strength, and how the common stock and preferred ATMs actually fund Bitcoin accumulation. He also breaks down the $700 million in warrants expiring October 13 and what their exercise would mean for leverage and future products. Walton closes with the systemic credit risk he thinks the entire market is underpricing.
