What the company does
Strive (founded by Vivek Ramaswamy) manages ETFs and, after listing in 2025, adopted a Bitcoin-treasury strategy. Revenue comes from fund-management fees; its value largely tracks its Bitcoin holdings.
What was checked
The AAOIFI standard has four steps: business activity first, then three financial ratios. Fail one and the stock is not halal.
Business activity
Prohibited activity: Asset Management
Interest-bearing debt / market cap
limit 30%
Interest-bearing debt $0 ÷ 36-month average market cap $1.19B = 0.0%
0.0%
Pass
Cash & investments / market cap
limit 30%
Cash + interest-bearing securities $188.32M ÷ 36-month average market cap $1.19B = 15.8%
15.8%
Pass
Non-compliant income / total revenue
limit 5%
Interest income $795K ÷ annual revenue $3.65M (2024) = 21.8%
21.8%
Fail
Figures from the company's filings (2026-06-30), USD. Market cap is a 36-month average (the S&P Shariah index approach), so a one-day price move does not flip the verdict. Today's market cap: $2.80B.
