Strive prices upsized $90 per share preferred stock IPO

Strive, Inc. announced the pricing of an upsized initial public offering of 7 million shares of its 15% Series A Perpetual SATS Preferred Stock at $90 per share, raising about $630 million in gross proceeds. The offering adds 2 million shares to the previously announced amount. The preferred shares carry a cumulative dividend of 15% per year on a $100 stated amount, with the first dividend scheduled for November 9, 2026. Strive will set aside $22.50 per share at closing to fund roughly 18 months of dividend payments.

The new preferred shares offer investors a high‑yield 15% annual dividend and redemption rights, providing a potentially attractive income instrument. The $630 million of gross proceeds give Strive capital to acquire bitcoin, fund working capital and consider share repurchases, which could affect the company’s balance sheet and future earnings.
