Financial Results and SATA Preferred Stock Strategy

Strive reported a net loss of $393.6 million from its listing date through year-end 2025. The company attributed most of the loss to non-cash items. Unrealized Bitcoin losses accounted for about $194.5 million of the total.

Bitcoin’s price declined from around $126,000 in October to roughly $72,000 by early 2026. This price movement drove the reported unrealized losses. Goodwill and intangible impairments from the Semler deal added $140.8 million.

Transaction costs contributed another $12.4 million to the deficit. On an adjusted basis, loss attributable to common shareholders reached $208.2 million. The figure equaled $4.73 per diluted share after a one-for-twenty reverse stock split.

Cole highlighted the company’s SATA perpetual preferred stock product during the earnings report. He described SATA as a variable-rate instrument designed to generate double-digit yields with reduced volatility. SATA trades on Nasdaq under its own ticker.

Strive raised about $148 million in net proceeds from its November 2025 SATA initial public offering. The company priced two million shares at $80 each. A follow-on offering in January raised another $109 million at $90 per share.

Management reported a 22.2% Bitcoin Yield in the fourth quarter. The company also recorded a 13.8% yield quarter-to-date through mid-March. These figures represented a Bitcoin Gain of 1,305 coins in Q4 2025 and 1,050 coins so far in 2026.
