Cole stated that long-term conviction, talented team members, and strong collaboration have laid the foundation for the company’s execution over the past six months. He also highlighted that even during the market’s most pessimistic period, a group of shareholders continued to support Strive. Cole reiterated that the Bitcoin bull market is “just getting started.” Strive has built a corresponding leverage structure around Bitcoin, and the team remains focused on driving the company’s growth.
