Strive CEO Matt Cole said February 19 marked the bottom of the bear market for the company’s common stock ASST. He said internal conviction never wavered even as external sentiment turned extremely pessimistic, noting that executives and directors bought shares with their own money and some left the board to join the company full-time. Cole said the combination of long-term conviction, talent and team chemistry is rare, and that the company’s execution over the next six months stems from that foundation. He also said Bitcoin’s bull market has only just begun, adding that Strive has built an amplified structure around Bitcoin, is operating at full speed and remains fully invested.
