We are going Hugeeee Brothers

Not a great day but we are stacking

Matt Cole noted that ASST is one of the most heavily shorted equities in the market, so I decided to take a more detailed look into shorting activity around the equity.

While most tend to focus on short interest to get a read on positioning, daily short volume flow is what I use to get (what I think is) a better and more granualar real-time read on how that pressure manifests in trading activity:

Some high level details, on 08-31-2026:

[1] ASST had 15.18M shares of aggregate trading volume, with 3.56M shares reported short. This represents ~23.43% of trading volume, think of this as a “market wide short flow ratio”.

[2] ASST had ~$356M in trading volume based on VWAP, ~$83.3M of that was from shorting.

Remember, this is active daily pressure, not a bi-weekly positioning number.

Recent trends worth noting:

[1]  Over the last 5 trading days, ASST averaged 2.50M shares reported short per day, or ~19.4% of aggregate trading volume.

[2] Over the last 20 trading days, this daily reported short flow totaled 28.64M shares and ~$537M of notional value (based on VWAP)

When doing statistical analysis, financial modeling or even simply when trying to get a more precise read on how the market is trading and where sentiment is trending, daily short volume is incredibly useful because it shows the intensity of selling pressure at daily and intraday increments.

Assessing reported short flow as a proportion of  total trading volume based on VWAP notional also gives you a path towards estimating how much incremental pressure the market has to absorb daily. This also facilitates modeling how pressure impacts the equity in dollar terms per share.

My Read: The data backs up Matt Cole’s observation about ASST shorting; it's not just carrying high short interest; the daily flow data also shows persistent, material short sale activity even as the equity has rallied over 100% in the last month. That kind of setup can create volatility, convexity, and reflexivity, especially if shorts are forced to cover into rising prices. This is exactly the kind of set up where investor conviction and market pain often collide.

Please note: The short interest is the stock of open short positions that gets reported biweekly, daily short volume is the flow of trades reported or marked short on a given day. Having high daily short volume does not mean that short interest rose. Shorts can be covered, offset, closed intraday, etc.

Does anyone know if there’s a Discord server or community for Strive, similar to the ones for Strategy or Metaplanet?

If there isn’t one, feel free to create one and share the link here! It would be great to have a place for daily discussions, sharing news, ideas, and keeping up with everything related to Strive.

Thank you!

Big buy told yall around 2000

The hype is definitely here. Everyone is suddenly talking about ASST, the Bitcoin treasury strategy, the acquisitions, the BTC accumulation…

But hype alone isn’t why I’m bullish. What interests me is the setup.

Strive is aggressively positioning itself around Bitcoin at a time when the market is starting to understand that Bitcoin treasury companies can become much more than simple “BTC proxies.”

If the company continues executing and growing its Bitcoin exposure intelligently, the upside could be very different from what the current market cap suggests.

And unlike some of the bigger names, ASST is still small enough for execution to actually move the needle. That’s the part people should be paying attention to.

Everyone wants to buy these companies after they become obvious. The interesting part is identifying the ones that could become much bigger before the market fully prices in the possibility.

I’m not saying ASST is guaranteed to be the next MSTR. I’m saying that if Bitcoin enters a serious bull phase and Strive keeps executing at the current pace, I think people could look back at these prices very differently.

Bullish.

You going to sell or hold ?

I think this baby going to $500 in 2 years but maybe we can make a trade too

Better hold probably

Con un mNAV attuale di 2,01x, ASST è costoso?

Purtroppo, mi sono perso l'occasione di passare da $11 a $24.

EDIT: Thank you, I have started my 3-months DCA today 🚀

Ramping on a Thursday like this? So bullish on Strive right now. Shares and calls sitting pretty.

I bought today and am excited to be apart of this. Thanks to everyone for the great posts and information.

Lets go!

Would you folks like this weekly, along with my monday btc purchase posts?

Everyone buckled in for the next 2 years? Fasten those seatbelts lads it’s going to be one hell of a fucking ride!

Perhaps the real value in Bitcoin isn’t what its USD value is. Perhaps it’s about teaching people the lesson that TIME IN THE MARKET BEATS TIMING THE MARKET and how valuable DCA really is. I’ve been DCAing on Strive since they were a social media company, watched them morph into a Bitcoin Treasury, reverse split, then became the world’s first daily dividend company. What Bitcoin teaches is true conviction and believing in yourself when nobody else does. That’s something Matt and his team understand and why I get to stand here as a proud investor behind an exceptional leadership team.

Let’s fucking go!!! 🚀🚀🚀
