Strive, the Nasdaq-listed bitcoin treasury company, reported a third-quarter 2026 net income of $509 million, or $5.24 per diluted share, according to Bitcoin.com. Crypto Insiders, which converted the result to euros, headlined it as a profit of 454 million euros. The figures come from the same results and differ only by currency.
The profit was almost entirely a paper gain. Bitcoin.com said Strive recorded $533.7 million in unrealized gains on digital assets, while operating revenue was just $2.7 million against $38.7 million in operating expenses. Because the gains are unrealized, they would reverse if bitcoin prices fall, and bitcoin has dropped sharply since quarter-end.
Strive held 27,876 BTC on September 30, after buying 8,136 BTC during the quarter. It then added aggressively in October and reported 43,124 BTC as of November 2. Crypto Insiders counted 15,124 BTC bought between October 1 and October 30. Digital asset holdings were valued at $2.34 billion at quarter-end, up from $668.5 million at the end of 2025.
The purchases were funded largely by a preferred stock offering completed on October 20, which raised $630 million gross and about $609 million net, according to Bitcoin.com. The shares carry a 15% annual dividend, an ongoing obligation that must be paid even if bitcoin declines. Strive reported $490.4 million in cash as of October 30.
The company also cited a quarterly BTC Yield of 18.5%, a company-defined measure of growth in bitcoin per share, not income paid to shareholders.
