Morning Minute: Move Over, Saylor, There’s a New Top Buyer in Town

For five years, “who bought the most Bitcoin this week” had one answer. That’s quietly stopped being true. Vivek’s Strive Asset Management (Nasdaq: ASST), run by Matthew Cole, just scooped up 3,311 BTC for roughly $280 million between Oct. 5 and 9, buying the dip at an average of ~$84,500 as the market sold off. It’s Strive’s biggest single purchase since January, and it caps a genuine tear: $94.5M in late September, $169M in early October, then $280M. Total stack now sits at 32,773 BTC, about $2.73 billion.
