To Be Held on April 27, 2026

Dear Stockholder:

We are pleased to invite you to attend the annual meeting of stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”) of Strive, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“Strive,” the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), which will be held on April 27, 2026 at 1:00 p.m. Eastern Time (10:00 a.m. Pacific Time) for the following purposes:

The foregoing items of business are more fully described in the proxy statement accompanying this notice or made available over the Internet.

The Board of Directors (the “Board”) has fixed the close of business on March 6, 2026 as the record date (the “Record Date”) for a determination of stockholders entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the Annual Meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof. Only stockholders of record at the close of business on March 6, 2026 are entitled to notice and to vote at the Annual Meeting and any adjournment or postponement thereof.

The Annual Meeting will be a completely virtual meeting of stockholders, which will be conducted solely online at www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/ASST2026. You will be able to attend and participate in the Annual Meeting online, vote your shares electronically or submit your questions prior to and during the meeting by visiting the website(s) indicated in your proxy materials. You may need to have your control number included on your proxy card or on the instructions that accompanied your proxy materials or other information as instructed through your broker, bank or other holder of record to join the Annual Meeting. There will be no physical location for stockholders to attend, and you will not be able to attend the Annual Meeting in person.

It is important that your shares are represented at the Annual Meeting. We urge you to review the attached proxy statement and, whether or not you plan to attend the Annual Meeting, please vote your shares promptly by casting your vote via the Internet or any other provided voting option, or, if you receive a full set of proxy materials by mail or request one be mailed to you, and prefer to mail your proxy, please complete, sign, date, and return your proxy in the pre-addressed envelope provided, which requires no additional postage if mailed in the United States. You may revoke your vote by submitting a subsequent vote over the Internet, by mail or by any other option provided for voting before the Annual Meeting, or by voting electronically at the Annual Meeting.

Please note that, on January 16, 2026, the Company filed an information statement on Schedule 14C with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) notifying the stockholders of the Company that the holders of record presenting a majority of the outstanding voting power of the Company, had, by written consent in lieu of an annual or special meeting of the stockholders of the Company, approved certain matters relating to the election of directors and the ratification of the Company’s 2026 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan (such actions, the “Corporate Actions”). The date of effectiveness of the Corporate Actions occurred on February 5, 2026.

PROXY STATEMENT

2026 ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS

TO BE HELD ON APRIL 27, 2026

This proxy statement and the accompanying proxy are being furnished with respect to the solicitation of proxies by the Board of Directors for the Annual Meeting. The Annual Meeting is to be held at 1:00 p.m. Eastern Time (10:00 a.m. Pacific Time), on April 27, 2026, and at any adjournment(s) or postponement(s) thereof, in a virtual meeting format at www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/ASST2026.

The approximate date on which the proxy statement and the accompanying notice and form of proxy are intended to be sent or made available to stockholders is on or about March 16, 2026. A proxy is your legal designation of another person to vote the stock you own. That designee is referred to as a proxy holder. Designation of a particular proxy holder can be effected by completion of a written proxy, or by voting via the Internet or by another provided voting option. If you return a proxy or vote by the Internet or other provided voting option, Benjamin Pham, our Chief Financial Officer, and Brian Logan Beirne, our Chief Legal Officer, will act as your designated proxy holders for the Annual Meeting and will vote your shares at the Annual Meeting as you have instructed them on the proxy. This way, your shares will be voted whether or not you attend the Annual Meeting. Even if you plan to attend the Annual Meeting, we urge you to vote in one of the ways described below so that your vote will be counted even if you are unable or decide not to attend the Annual Meeting.
