[Strive CEO: Bitcoin Bull Market Has Just Begun, ASST Bottom Is Behind Us] Strive CEO Matt Cole published a post reviewing the performance of the company's common stock, ASST, stating that February 19 marked the bear market bottom. He noted that despite the extremely pessimistic external sentiment at the time, the company's internal conviction never wavered—executives and directors personally purchased shares, and some even left the board to join the company full-time. He believes that the combination of long-term conviction, talent, and team synergy is exceptionally rare, and the execution over the next six months will directly stem from this foundation. Cole emphasized that even when Strive faced widespread negativity from the outside, there remained a group of steadfast and loyal shareholders who chose to believe during the toughest times. He reiterated that the Bitcoin bull market has only just begun, and Strive has built a leveraged structure around Bitcoin that is operating at full speed, with the team still fully committed.
