Jeff Walton: How Strive Supercharged its Bitcoin Buying Strategy

Over the last month, Strive has ranked among the top performers in the Russell 2000, and Chief Risk Officer Jeff Walton reports the firm is set to double its bitcoin stash roughly every 12 weeks. In a discussion with Grace Remington and Sean Hagan, Walton details how Strive maintains liquidity while expanding at that clip, how the balance sheet reached $2.5 billion in total strength, and the role common stock and preferred ATMs play in fueling bitcoin purchases. He also examines the $700 million in warrants set to expire October 13 and the impact their exercise could have on leverage and future offerings. Walton wraps up by addressing the systemic credit risk he believes the market is underestimating.
