Strive raises enough capital to buy over 105 Bitcoin in first hour of market open

Strive raised enough capital in the first hour of its market open to purchase over 105 Bitcoin, signaling strong immediate demand for the vehicle. The rapid fundraising and planned Bitcoin purchases suggest investors are seeking direct crypto exposure and that new issuers can attract sizable inflows quickly. This concentration of buying pressure can provide short-term upward support for Bitcoin prices and underscores growing institutionalization and competition in Bitcoin investment products, while also posing a potential source of volatility if flows reverse.
