PANews, June 19 – Strive CEO Matt Cole posted a lengthy statement on X stating that today marks the most difficult day in the history of Digital Credit. STRC briefly dropped to $82.50 before rebounding, while SATA fell from parity to a low of $90 before bouncing back. Cole described the event as a leveraged liquidation incident, not a deterioration in underlying credit quality. The credit standing of the issuers remains strong. Strive’s dividend reserves are intact, the company is operating normally, and its ability to meet obligations is unaffected. Cole emphasized the need to stay calm and focus on fundamentals.
