This ATM establishes a large capital-raising facility ($1B vs $3.6B market cap) but no shares have been sold yet. Monitor subsequent filings for actual takedowns — the pace and size of sales will determine real dilution and bitcoin-buying impact. The 15% dividend cost creates a high carry cost on any proceeds deployed.
Price Chart
Executive Summary
Strive, Inc. (ASST) established an at-the-market (ATM) program to sell up to $1,000,000,000 of its 15.00% Series A Perpetual SATS Preferred Stock (ticker: SATS) through seven agents. The program adds potential future dilution to the 7,000,000 SATS shares already outstanding, with proceeds intended for general corporate purposes including bitcoin acquisition. The filing establishes capacity only — no shares are sold yet, and actual sales depend on market conditions.
