Investment firm HC Wainwright has designated Strive as its top crypto stock pick for the second half of 2026, citing the company’s exposure to Bitcoin treasury holdings and the resurgence of the debasement trade.
The firm maintained a Buy rating on Strive, assigning a $36 price target to the stock. Analysts also projected Bitcoin to reach $130,000 by the end of 2026, reinforcing the digital asset’s role as a hedge against currency debasement.
Strive’s shares surged nearly 80% in August, coinciding with a rebound in Bitcoin prices. Over the same period, the Nasdaq rose 2.4%, reflecting broader market strength amid improving risk sentiment in digital assets.
