Strive Inc. has expanded its Bitcoin treasury by purchasing an additional 124 BTC, according to a November 2 SEC filing reported by multiple outlets. The acquisition, which took place between October 24 and October 30, brings the company's total Bitcoin holdings to 43,124 BTC.

The purchase was made at an average price of approximately $80,526 per BTC, including fees and expenses. This strategic move by Strive reflects a continued institutional appetite for Bitcoin, even as the broader crypto market experiences a downturn.

Cryptopolitan and Crypto.news also report that BitMine Immersion Technologies has disclosed significant holdings in Ether (ETH), with its total reaching 6.06 million tokens. This information, while related to the crypto market, is a separate development from Strive's Bitcoin acquisition.

The broader crypto market remains subdued, with the total market cap at $2.65 trillion and Bitcoin trading at $76,874, down 1.25% in the last 24 hours. Despite the short-term price decline, Strive's continued accumulation of Bitcoin suggests a long-term bullish outlook.
