Bitcoin‑Backed Digital Credit Play Heats Up

Strive Doubles Down With Strategy-Linked Investments

ASST is smaller than MSTR but has followed the same playbook, supplementing its own BTC buys with a secondary layer of leverage. The company has used $50 million to purchase Strategy’s STRC preferreds, effectively earning yield on MSTR’s Bitcoin‑backed credit while it issues SATA to fund its own BTC accumulation.

In March, Strive also that its subsidiary will serve as a sub-adviser for the proposed T-Strive Digital Credit ETF (DGCR), which intends to invest primarily in preferred shares of Strategy and Strive used to fund the purchase of Bitcoin.
