Strive Asset Management, co-founded by Vivek Ramaswamy, has announced a $500 million offering of Variable Rate Series A Perpetual Preferred Stock. The money raised will mainly go towards buying more Bitcoin. The remaining funds will support working capital, pay for capital expenses, buy back shares, and repay debt. The decision supports Strive’s goal of increasing Bitcoin held per share. This will contribute to greater gains without affecting common equity. As of November 7, 2025, Strive owns 7,525 BTC. The upcoming purchase of Semler Scientific is expected to increase its total Bitcoin holdings to over 22,000 BTC. Details of the Offering Strive has signed a sales agreement with several agents to sell up to $500 million of perpetual preferred shares through an at-the-market program. These shares have a par value of $0.001 and will be issued under an existing shelf registration statement that has been effective since September 2025.  The company filed a prospectus supplement with the SEC on December 9, 2025. The offering avoids immediate dilution of ASST shares and provides flexible, non-debt capital, unlike convertible debt or standard stock offerings. Strive’s management stated that it plans to continue its aggressive treasury policy that began after the company’s reverse merger in May 2025. Strive’s current holdings of 7,525 BTC rank it 15th among public companies globally. The September 2025 agreement to acquire Semler Scientific—which itself holds substantial Bitcoin—remains on track to close, and would immediately elevate Strive into the top ten corporate holders. Meanwhile, Bitcoin (BTC) still has the top spot in the crypto market by market capitalization on CoinGecko. Its current price is above $92,000, up 2.4% over the past 24 hours. Market Reaction The news pushed Strive’s common stock (ASST) up by 3.57% to $1.04 on Tuesday before dropping to $1.02, with a year-to-date gain exceeding 100%. The company’s stock data showed that it has traded between a high of $13.42 and a low of $0.34 over the past 52 weeks.  Analysts note that the preferred stock structure allows Strive to raise capital even during periods of weakness in common shares, providing greater execution flexibility than traditional equity or debt issuances. Social media commentary drew direct comparisons to Strategy’s long-standing Bitcoin accumulation, which stands at 660,624 BTC, over 3.1% of the total bitcoin supply.

The post New Bitcoin ETF Targets Gains When US Markets Are Closed appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Tidal Trust II has filed with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for a Bitcoin exchange-traded fund (ETF) designed to provide exposure when US markets are closed. The filing comes as spot BTC ETFs posted their weakest month on record, marked by heavy outflows and rising concerns about potential price manipulation during the US market open. Sponsored Sponsored SEC Filing Reveals ETF That Seeks to Bet on Bitcoin After Hours The Form N-1A, submitted on Tuesday, proposes to add two ETFs to the existing fund. These include Nicholas Bitcoin and Treasuries AfterDark ETF and Nicholas Bitcoin Tail ETF. According to the registration statement, the AfterDark ETF will not hold BTC directly. Instead, it will gain exposure through investments in Bitcoin futures, Bitcoin options, and Bitcoin ETFs or ETPs listed in the US. It may utilize a Cayman Islands subsidiary to manage its positions. The objective is to pursue long-term capital appreciation through a systematic approach that targets Bitcoin’s overnight return profile. Meanwhile, the fund will hold short-term US Treasuries and cash equivalents during the daytime trading period.  “When utilizing Bitcoin Futures, the Fund trades these instruments during US overnight hours and closes them out shortly after the US market opens each trading day. When utilizing Bitcoin Underlying Funds, the Fund purchases a security at US market close, and then sells the position around US market open….When utilizing Bitcoin Options, the Fund typically enters into options positions that establish a synthetic long bitcoin position near the close of regular US trading hours. These positions are typically closed or unwound near the following market open, however, the Fund may hold these synthetic long positions longer term and offset them during US daytime trading hours by entering into a synthetic short position,,” the document reads.
