The stock soared above $105,000 as investors regained confidence due to the U.S. government’s decision to temporarily shut down, expectations for a Fed interest rate cut, and increased capital inflows from institutional investors. Among the latest entrants, Vivek Ramaswamy-backed Strive confirmed a $162 million strategic Bitcoin purchase.

In an official post on X (formerly Twitter), Strive revealed that it acquired 1,567 BTC at an average price of $103,315, bringing its total Bitcoin holdings to 7,525 BTC.


The company’s aggressive Bitcoin accumulation follows Friday’s oversubscribed IPO and coincides with its Nasdaq-listed SATA stock debut. Strive also confirmed that future dividend distributions will be classified as return on capital (ROC). ROC is a preferred structure among institutional crypto investors due to its tax efficiency.

Official filings revealed that founder Vivek Ramaswamy purchased 15,625 SATA shares in Strive, increasing his direct and indirect holdings to 142.3 million, including those held through the Ramaswami 2021 Irrevocable Trust.

Strive’s financial backing includes several prominent billionaires, including Peter Thiel, J.D. Vance, and Bill Ackman, and their nominal participation strengthens institutional confidence in Bitcoin.

Adding to the bullish sentiment, Michael Saylor-led Strategy announced the purchase of an additional 487 BTC worth $49.9 million at an average price of $102,557. Strategy’s assets currently total 641,692 BTC (approximately $47.54 billion worth), with an average purchase price of $74,079 and an annual net yield of 26.1%.

Bitcoin Price Prediction: Can BTC sustain above $105,000 as institutional purchases surge?

Bitcoin is currently trading at $105,048, up 2.4% during the day, supported by increased institutional exposure and improving macro liquidity expectations. Technical indicators on the 12-hour chart suggest a breakout probability of 63%, supporting the case for sustained upward momentum.

BTC price is currently anchored near the middle band, showing solid strength with an upward bias. A definitive close above $106,000 could accelerate the rally toward the upper band target of $111,584.

Momentum indicators also support bullish settings. The MACD histogram shows a fading red bar as the MACD line (-2,472) and signal line (-2,210) converge to indicate a bullish crossover. Bitcoin volume delta also trended positive at +595BTC, confirming new capital inflows supporting the intraday rally. If this trend continues, Bitcoin price could establish a new short-term benchmark above $104,000, paving the way for a retest of $112,000 in the coming sessions.

However, a downside nullification occurs if BTC closes below $98,300, near the lower end of the Bollinger Band.
