Strive posts $509 million net income for Q3, helped by digital asset gains

what happened

TradingView reports that Strive recorded net income of $509.0 million for the third quarter of 2026, a swing from losses in the year-earlier periods. Revenue came to $2.7 million, and adjusted diluted earnings per share stood at $5.46.

The bulk of the profit came from $544.0 million of investment gains, mostly unrealized increases in digital asset values. Operating costs totaled $38.7 million. After $34.2 million of preferred dividends, earnings attributable to common shareholders were $474.8 million. At September 30 the company held $285.4 million in cash and carried digital assets at $2.34 billion fair value.

Strive also kept buying bitcoin, adding 8,136 coins in the quarter and 20,373 in the first nine months, plus 15,124 more between October 1 and October 30. Its bitcoin yield was 18.5% for the quarter. In late October it raised capital through an offering of 7 million SATS preferred shares, which trade on the Nasdaq Global Market.

why it matters

For traders, the result is closely tied to bitcoin's price, since most of the gain reflects revaluation of the coins the firm holds. Continued purchases add to demand for the asset, while the preferred issuance shows the company is raising equity to fund its accumulation.
