I just had a look at my Strava and FTP is just a manual, static, user defined value under my profile. I see no mention of Strava making an estimate for you based on any of your ride data.
In the Strava user guide it suggests how to estimate your FTP (0.95 x 20 min power). I wondered if it would do this automatically off your best 20 min power, but it doesn’t for me. The value it has for my FTP just looks like a value I put in myself that is now well out of date!
