Strive leans on custodians and an 18-month cash buffer to protect its Bitcoin

The Ramaswamy-co-founded treasury company says it can keep paying preferred dividends through a long bear market without selling a single coin Strive, the Dallas-based Bitcoin treasury company, says its strategy rests on two pillars. Institutional custodians hold its coins, and an 18-month cash reserve pays its dividends. The point of that pairing is simple. Strive wants to keep paying investors without ever being forced to sell Bitcoin, even if the market spends a long time in the basement. Strive, Inc. trades on Nasdaq under the ticker ASST and was co-founded by Vivek Ramaswamy.
