Broken: Primary pillar broken — Reduce EPS losses toward break-even by FY27: EPS -3.65 vs target > -1.5.
Strive is steadily increasing its Bitcoin holdings, buying 73 bitcoins at about $63,646 each in Q2 2026. The company maintains a strong 13% dividend rate on its preferred stock. Recent purchases show commitment to its capital allocation strategy. These moves could support a recovery despite current losses.
Strive remains unprofitable with negative EPS expected through 2027. The stock has fallen over 30% from its high, reflecting market doubts. Dividend and Bitcoin strategies may not offset ongoing losses and volatile management. The company risks further declines if it cannot stabilize earnings.
The market price is about 58% below our valuation model's midpoint and 15% below the Street median price range. This suggests the market expects continued challenges and negative growth. Our view differs by seeing potential in Bitcoin accumulation and dividend stability, but risks remain high.
Breaks if: Bitcoin purchases fall below 73 bitcoins in Q2 2026
Breaks if: Dividend rate falls below 13.00% after July 1, 2026
This is not a price target or investment advice.
A long-form read on the 1–3 year hold thesis. It updates when the weekly evidence changes.
This investment represents a turnaround story in the Financials sector. The company is currently loss-making and has shown volatile management performance, but it is making strides in key areas like increasing Bitcoin holdings and achieving a debt-free balance sheet.
The market seems to have priced in a low level of fragility, with a valuation that reflects a premium compared to peers. However, there is an expectations gap indicating that investors may anticipate further challenges ahead.
Management is on track with its priorities, but the recent financial performance has been weak, with a high probability of missing earnings in the near term. The company has experienced consecutive earnings misses, which adds to the risk profile.
The long-term thesis hinges on the performance of sector bellwethers like BLK, BX, and KKR, as their success could lift ASST. Additionally, the company's ability to maintain its dividend payments and manage interest rate changes will be crucial.
The most important moves since the prior daily snapshot.
Mixed, the news cuts both ways. The company increased its Bitcoin holdings, aligning with its strategy. However, it also reported a significant earnings miss, which raises concerns.
