Extract pivot position from animated object

Hi, 

So let's say you have an animated cube in world space with no deformations, just rotation and translation. The animation is baked onto the object, so I don't have the access to the animation rig (eg. alembic). 

What I need is a pivot position for that animated cube. Also we don't know if the pivot is in the center of the object, it can be anywhere.

At first I thought all I need is just to do maketransform() and then extract the pivot from the matrix. However when building matrix with maketransform() you need to provide a pivot, so when extracting you will end up with that. 

So... how can I extract the pivot point from animated object? Is it even possible?
