Under the leadership of Vivek Ramaswamy, Strive aims to purchase claims to 75,000 Bitcoins left from the Mt. Gox bankruptcy. These claims have been legally approved but not yet paid. The company intends to acquire the Bitcoin at a discount from the market price. Through this strategy, Strive plans to build a Bitcoin reserve and outperform Bitcoin in the long term. Meanwhile, Mt. Gox creditors are expected to start receiving payments in October 2025. However, Strive needs creditor approval to take advantage of this opportunity.
This move increases competition among companies investing in Bitcoin, as Strive follows a strategy that could boost its market value and share price. Additionally, when Strive completes its merger with Texas-based Asset Entities, the company will become publicly traded. As a result, Strive will control 94.2% of the merged entity. This means Strive shareholders will have significant influence over company management and decision-making processes. Asset Entities’ existing shareholders will retain control of the remaining 5.8%.
Mt. Gox Bankruptcy and Strive’s Plans
Mt. Gox lost approximately 750,000 Bitcoins in 2014 due to a massive security breach, sending shockwaves through the crypto market. After years of legal proceedings, payments to creditors have been planned. Although creditors have received legal approval for their BTC claims, payments have been delayed. They have been waiting for a long time, and partial payments are finally scheduled to begin in October 2025. Still, the Mt. Gox bankruptcy remains a major source of uncertainty in the market.
Investment company operates more flexibly compared to firms going public through SPAC mergers. It also follows a path similar to Bitcoin reserve companies backed by major investors like Tether and SoftBank. This strategy aims to boost Strive’s market value while providing long-term gains for investors. In short, by acquiring Mt. Gox claims, Investment company is expanding its Bitcoin portfolio and becoming a notable player in the crypto market.
In addition, two Nasdaq-listed companies have announced plans to purchase Bitcoin. Basel Medical Group has begun talks for a $1 billion Bitcoin acquisition, while Singapore-based DigiAsia has revealed plans to buy $100 million worth of Bitcoin.
