Public data reveals Wyoming has taken a stake in Bitcoin reserve firm Strive Inc. (ASST), making it one of the few U.S. state governments to directly allocate crypto-related assets.
Per regulatory documents, as of Dec. 31, 2025, Wyoming held 151,595 shares of Strive’s Class A common stock—valued at roughly $111,000 at the time.

If Bitcoin rebounds above $75,000, the mainstream CEX cumulative short liquidation pressure will reach $1.154 billion.
Per Coinglass data as of March 5th:
If Bitcoin rebounds above $75,000, cumulative short liquidation intensity across major centralized exchanges (CEXs) will hit $1.154 billion.
Conversely, a drop below $72,000 will trigger just $334 million in cumulative long liquidation on major CEXs—with further downside below $71,000 required to unlock a higher intensity of $1.234 billion.
BlockBeats Note: Liquidation charts do not precisely show the number of contracts pending liquidation or the exact value of contracts being liquidated. The bars on these charts instead reflect the importance of each liquidation cluster relative to neighboring clusters (i.e., "intensity").
As such, the chart indicates how impactful reaching a specific price level will be: a taller "liquidation bar" means the price hitting that level will spark a more intense response due to a liquidity cascade.
