News about SATS

Strive, a Bitcoin treasury company led by chairman and CEO Matt Cole, closed its upsized IPO of SATS preferred stock on Oct. 20, raising $630 million gross by selling 7 million shares at $90 each. The company has not specified how much of the estimated $608.15 million in net proceeds will go to Bitcoin, though its SEC filing lists Bitcoin purchases among several possible uses. At an illustrative price of $82,500, full allocation would buy about 7,372 BTC, lifting holdings from 36,818 BTC to roughly 44,190 BTC, which would exceed Metaplanet's reported 44,000 BTC. SATS carry a 15% annual cumulative dividend on a $100 stated amount, payable when declared, with the first payments scheduled from Nov. 9.
