Current report

Strive was founded with a mission to maximize long-term value for shareholders through the unapologetic embrace of capitalism, meritocracy and innovation. Following the completion of Strive Enterprises, Inc.'s reverse acquisition of Asset Entities Inc. in September 2025, Strive began operating as a publicly traded company and began deploying capital to execute on its bitcoin treasury strategy, becoming the first publicly traded bitcoin treasury asset management firm.

Current report

As of September 30, 2025, the Company manages over $2.0 billion in assets under management ("AUM") across 13 exchange, collective investment trusts, and a direct indexing platform. These activities provide recurring, fee-based revenue streams which increase with AUM. Beginning in fiscal year 2026, we plan to operate our asset-management segment within a single-digit-million dollar operating loss to single-digit-million dollar operating profit range.

Current report

Our bitcoin strategy generally involves, from time to time, subject to market conditions and the need for cash and cash equivalents to meet short-term working capital requirements, (i) acquiring bitcoin using open market purchases using available cash, which may be raised from our operating activities as well as capital raising initiatives, such as issuing equity and fixed income offerings, among other capital raise strategies (collectively, "beta" initiatives) and (ii) acquiring bitcoin through alpha strategies, such as acquiring bitcoin through strategic M&A activity or other transactions, resulting in the acquisition of bitcoin at a discount relative to market value, which are intended to deliver returns above and beyond what beta initiatives may deliver alone.

Current report

As of September 30, 2025, the Company held approximately 5,886 bitcoin, with a total cost of $683.0 million, and a fair value of $672.9 million, which were acquired at an average price of $116,053, including fees and expenses.

The comparability of our operating results for the period from September 12, 2025 to September 30, 2025 (Successor), for the period from July 1, 2025 to September 11, 2025 (Predecessor), and for the three months ended September 30, 2024 (Predecessor) as well as the comparability of our operating results for the period from September 12, 2025 to September 30, 2025 (Successor), for the period from January 1, 2025 to September 11, 2025 (Predecessor), and for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 (Predecessor) was impacted by our Asset Entities Merger and may not be comparable. For the purposes of the comparison of the results of operations below, we have compared the relevant Predecessor three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 to the respective combined Predecessor and Successor periods of 2025.

Current report

Comparison of the Three Months Ended September 30, 2025 and the Three Months Ended September 30, 2024

Current report

The following table presents information regarding the consolidated results of operations for the period from September 12, 2025 to September 30, 2025 (Successor) and for the period from July 1, 2025 to September 11, 2025 (Predecessor) compared to the three months ended September 30, 2024 (Predecessor) (amounts in thousands, other than percentages):

Current report

Investment advisory fees increased by $0.6 million, or 60.9%, to $1.5 million ($0.2 million for the period from September 12, 2025 to September 30, 2025 and $1.3 million for the period from July 1, 2025 to September 11, 2025) from $1.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024. This increase was driven by an increase in assets under management of Strive offerings.

Current report

Other revenue remained at less than $0.1 million during all periods.

Current report

Fund management and administration expense increased by $0.3 million, or 20.5%, to $1.5 million ($0.3 million for the period from September 12, 2025 to September 30, 2025 and $1.3 million for the period from July 1, 2025 to September 11, 2025) from $1.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024. This increase was primarily due to an expansion in AUM held within previously launched Strive funds.

Current report

Employee compensation and benefits expense increased by $19.7 million, or 902.3%, to $21.9 million ($18.7 million for the period from September 12, 2025 to September 30, 2025 and $3.2 million for the period from July 1, 2025 to September 11, 2025) from $2.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024. This increase was primarily a result of stock compensation expense recorded during the period from September 12, 2025 to September 30, 2025 as a result of the achievement of the liquidity event performance condition, which resulted in an increase of $16.3 million, largely due to the one-time catch up of previously time-vested awards. This was paired with an increase in the average headcount in 2025 compared to 2024.

Current report

General and administrative expense decreased by $3.1 million, or (70.1)%, to $1.3 million ($0.4 million for the period from September 12, 2025 to September 30, 2025 and $0.9 million for the period from July 1, 2025 to September 11, 2025) from $4.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024. This decrease was primarily due to a decrease in legal and consulting expenses of $3.0 million related to the launch of the wealth management business line in late 2024, regulatory compliance consultations, general counsel representation and various legal matters throughout 2024.

Current report

Marketing and advertising remained at less than $0.1 million during all periods.

Current report

Depreciation and amortization remained at less than $0.1 million during all periods presented.

Current report

Net unrealized loss on digital assets increased by $10.1 million, or (100.0)%, to $10.1 million for the period from September 12, 2025 to September 30, 2025. The Company did not hold any digital assets throughout periods prior to September 12, 2025.

Current report

Other derivative loss increased by $14.7 million, or (100.0)%, to $14.7 million for the period from September 12, 2025 to September 30, 2025, which was driven by the market price of the Company's Class A common stock being higher than the price agreed-upon as part of the exchange of bitcoin for Class A common shares at the exchange date.

Current report

Other income decreased by $0.1 million, or (62.5)%, to $0.1 million ($68 thousand for the period from September 12, 2025 to September 30, 2025 and $10 thousand for the period from July 1, 2025 to September 11, 2025) from $0.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024. This decrease was due to decreases in market interest rates as well as a non-recurring expense incurred during the period from July 1, 2025 to September 11, 2025.

Asset Entities is a technology company providing social media marketing and content delivery services across Discord, TikTok, and other social media platforms. We also design, develop and manage servers for communities on Discord. Based on the growth of our Discord servers and social media following, we have developed three categories of services: (1) our Discord investment education and entertainment services, (2) social media and marketing services, and (3) our “AE.360.DDM” brand services. We also offer Ternary v2, a cloud-based subscription management and payment processing solution for Discord communities, which includes a suite of customer relations management tools and Stripe-verified payment processing. All of our services are based on our effective use of Discord as well as other social media including TikTok, X, Instagram, and YouTube.

Previous report

Our Discord investment education and entertainment service is designed primarily by and for enthusiastic Generation Z, or Gen Z, retail investors, creators and influencers. Gen Z is commonly considered to be people born between 1997 and 2012. Our investment education and entertainment service focuses on stock, real estate, cryptocurrency, and NFT community learning programs designed for the next generation. While we believe that Gen Z will continue to be our primary market, our Discord server offering features education and entertainment content covering real estate investments, which is expected to appeal strongly to older generations as well. Our combined server user membership was approximately 203,466 as of June 30, 2025.

Previous report

Our social media and marketing services utilize our management’s social influencer backgrounds by offering social media and marketing campaign services to business clients. Our team of social influencer independent contractors, which we call our “SiN” or “Social Influencer Network”, can perform social media and marketing campaign services to expand our clients’ Discord server bases and drive traffic to their businesses, as well as increase membership in our own servers.

Previous report

Our “AE.360.DDM, Design Develop Manage” service, or “AE.360.DDM”, is a suite of services to individuals and companies seeking to create a server on Discord. We believe we are the first company to provide “Design, Develop and Manage,” or DDM, services for any individual, company, or organization that wishes to join Discord and create their own community. With our AE.360.DDM rollout, we are uniquely positioned to offer DDM services in the growing market for Discord servers.

Previous report

Through Ternary v2, our subscription management and payment processing solution for Discord communities, subscribers can monetize and manage their Discord users. Ternary v2 simplifies the process for our subscribers to: (i) sell memberships to their Discord servers on their websites and collect payments through Stripe with daily payouts; (ii) add digital products and services and designate purchase options to their Discord servers; (iii) customize their user Discord permissions and roles and other Discord settings; and (iv) utilize our Discord bot to automatically apply their Discord user settings to authenticate new users, apply customizable permission sets to users, and remove users when their subscriptions expire. As a Stripe-verified partner through Ternary v2, we can also assist subscribers with integrating other platforms into their Discord servers with open application programming interfaces, further extending our platform’s capabilities.

Previous report

We believe that we are a leading provider of all of these services, and that demand for all of our services will continue to grow. We expect to experience rapid revenue growth from our services. We believe that we have built a scalable and sustainable business model and that our competitive strengths position us favorably in each aspect of our business.

Previous report

Our revenue depends on the number of paying subscribers to our Discord servers. During the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, we received revenue from 1,163 and 1,238 Asset Entities Discord server paying subscribers, respectively.

Previous report

As of June 30, 2025, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $16,330,381 and cash and cash equivalents of $2,518,441. During the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, we had a net loss of $2,664,611 and $1,726,537, respectively. To date, the Company has financed its operations primarily through capital raises and sales of its services. In April 2024, the Company filed a Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-278707), which was declared effective by the SEC on April 26, 2024, for potential offerings of up to $100,000,000 in aggregate (the “Shelf Registration Statement”), subject to the requirement that in no event may we sell shares having a value exceeding more than one-third of our public float in any 12-month period under the Shelf Registration Statement so long as our public float remains below $75,000,000. In May 2024, the Company completed the first of a two-part private placement of its Series A Preferred Stock for gross proceeds of $1.5 million, and in July 2024, the Company completed the second part of the private placement for an additional $1.5 million in gross proceeds. In September 2024, the Company entered into a Sales Agreement, dated as of September 27, 2024 (the “ATM Sales Agreement”), between the Company and A.G.P./Alliance Global Partners (the “Sales Agent”), and filed a prospectus supplement to the Shelf Registration Statement for an “at the market offering” of shares of Existing Class B Common Stock (the “ATM Financing”) for gross proceeds of up to $1,791,704. As of June 30, 2025, the Company had filed additional prospectus supplements to the Shelf Registration Statement to increase the maximum gross proceeds to $5,489,399. Since the commencement of the ATM Financing and as of June 30, 2025, a total of 5,427,700 shares has been sold, for net proceeds to the Company of $4,830,647.56, after paying $329,362 in compensation to the Sales Agent and the same amount to Boustead Securities, LLC (“Boustead”) under the Boustead ATM Waiver (as defined in “—Liquidity and Capital Resources – ATM Financing – Waivers and Consents to ATM Financing”). The Company has received confirmation from the investor in its Series A Preferred Stock that it will invest up to an additional $3 million upon request by the Company.

Previous report

In addition, on May 26, 2025, the Company and Strive entered into the May 2025 Private Placement (as defined in “—May 2025 Private Placement”). The Private Placement is expected to close substantially concurrently with the transactions under the A&R Merger Agreement, subject to the satisfaction of conditions precedent to the Company’s and Strive’s obligations to consummate the transactions under the A&R Merger Agreement being satisfied or waived and such transactions being consummated, the Company obtaining stockholder approval for the issuance of the May 2025 Private Placement Securities (as defined in “—May 2025 Private Placement”) as required by the applicable rules of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”), as well as the satisfaction of certain customary closing conditions. The Company expects to receive aggregate gross proceeds from the May 2025 Private Placement of approximately $750.3 million, before deducting placement agent fees and offering expenses. If all of the May 2025 Traditional Warrants are exercised in full for cash, the Company could receive up to an additional approximately $750 million in gross proceeds, for total potential proceeds of approximately $1.5 billion.

Previous report

Based on the Company’s existing cash resources and the cash expected to be received from the ATM Financing, the May 2025 Private Placement, and other planned financings, it is expected that the Company will have sufficient funds to carry out the Company’s planned operations through June 30, 2026 and for at least 12 months beyond that period. For further discussion, see Item 7. “—Liquidity and Capital Resources”.

Previous report

Our operating results are primarily affected by the following factors:

Previous report

We qualify as an “emerging growth company” under the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”). As a result, we are permitted to, and intend to, rely on exemptions from certain disclosure requirements. For so long as we are an emerging growth company, we will not be required to:

Previous report

In addition, Section 107 of the JOBS Act also provides that an emerging growth company can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), for complying with new or revised accounting standards. In other words, an emerging growth company can delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. We have elected to take advantage of the benefits of this extended transition period. Our financial statements may therefore not be comparable to those of companies that comply with such new or revised accounting standards.

Previous report

We will remain an emerging growth company until the earliest of (i) the last day of the fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of our initial public offering; (ii) the last day of the first fiscal year in which our total annual gross revenues are $1,235,000,000 or more; (iii) the date that we become a “large accelerated filer” as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), which would occur if the market value of our common stock that is held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the last business day of our most recently completed second fiscal quarter; or (iv) the date on which we have issued more than $1 billion in non-convertible debt during the preceding three year period.

Previous report

To the extent that we continue to qualify as a “smaller reporting company,” as such term is defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act, after we cease to qualify as an emerging growth company, certain of the exemptions available to us as an emerging growth company may continue to be available to us as a smaller reporting company, including as to: (i) the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act; (ii) scaled executive compensation disclosures; (iii) presenting two years of audited financial statements, instead of three years; and (iv) compliance with certain greenhouse gas emissions disclosure and related third-party assurance requirements.

Previous report

Revenue. Our revenue increased 86.4% to approximately $0.17 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 from approximately $0.09 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024. This increase was primarily due to the increased number of our Discord server paying subscribers for the three months ended June 30, 2025, including subscribers to the Pure Profits Discord server that the Company acquired in June 2024, compared to such number for the three months ended June 30, 2024. Due in part to the Company’s sale of the Pure Profits Discord server and related assets in July 2025, there is no assurance that revenues will continue to increase. There was no material difference in the Company’s subscription pricing structure between these periods.

Previous report

Operating Expenses. Our total operating expenses increased 57.5% to approximately $2.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 from approximately $1.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024. This increase was primarily due to an increase in advertising, marketing, payroll and other administrative expenses and administrative cost of public filings, compared to such costs for the three months ended June 30, 2024.

Our loss from operations increased 55.9% to approximately $2.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 from approximately $1.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024. This increase was primarily due to an increase in advertising, marketing, payroll and other administrative expenses and administrative cost of public filings, compared to such costs for the three months ended June 30, 2024.

Revenue. Our revenue increased 57.9% to approximately $0.34 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 from approximately $0.22 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. This increase was primarily due to the increased number of our Discord server paying subscribers for the six months ended June 30, 2025, including subscribers to the Pure Profits Discord server that the Company acquired in June 2024, compared to such number for the six months ended June 30, 2024. Due in part to the Company’s sale of the Pure Profits Discord server and related assets in July 2025, there is no assurance that revenues will continue to increase. There was no material difference in the Company’s subscription pricing structure between these periods.

Operating Expenses. Our total operating expenses increased 40.9% to approximately $4.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 from approximately $3.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. This increase was primarily due to an increase in advertising, marketing, payroll and other administrative expenses and administrative cost of public filings, compared to such costs for the six months ended June 30, 2024.

Loss From Operations. Our loss from operations increased 39.7% to approximately $4.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 from approximately $3.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. This increase was primarily due to an increase in advertising, marketing, payroll and other administrative expenses and administrative cost of public filings, compared to such costs for the six months ended June 30, 2024.

Previous report

As of June 30, 2025, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $16,330,381 and cash and cash equivalents of $2,518,441. During the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, we had a net loss of $2,664,611 and $1,726,537, respectively. To date, the Company has financed its operations primarily through capital raises and sales of its services. Based on the Company’s existing cash resources, the cash expected to be received from planned financings, and increased revenues expected to be generated from expanded operations due to prior asset acquisitions, it is expected that the Company will have sufficient funds to carry out the Company’s planned operations through June 30, 2026 and for at least 12 months beyond that period.

Previous report

As indicated above, we may require additional cash resources due to changing business conditions, implementation of our strategy to expand our business, or other investments or acquisitions we may decide to pursue. If our own financial resources are insufficient to satisfy our capital requirements, we may seek to sell additional equity or debt securities or obtain additional credit facilities. The sale of additional equity securities could result in dilution to our stockholders. The incurrence of indebtedness would result in increased debt service obligations and could require us to agree to operating and financial covenants that would restrict our operations. Financing may not be available in amounts or on terms acceptable to us, if at all. Any failure by us to raise additional funds on terms favorable to us, or at all, could limit our ability to expand our business operations and could harm our overall business prospects.

Current wording

On September 22, 2025, the Company entered into that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Semler Merger Agreement") with Semler Scientific, Inc. ("Semler" and the transaction, the "Semler Merger"). Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Semler Merger Agreement, Semler is expected to become a wholly owned subsidiary of Strive. Entry into the Semler Merger Agreement was unanimously approved by the Board of Directors of each of Strive and Semler. Pursuant to the Semler Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the Semler Merger, each share of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of Semler issued and outstanding immediately before the effective time (other than treasury shares held by Semler and certain shares held by Strive) will be converted into the right to receive 21.05 shares of Class A common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of Strive. The transaction is subject to customary closing conditions and approval by Semler shareholders. No assurances can be made that the transaction will close at the currently disclosed terms.

Current wording

Our principal sources of liquidity are cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments. Cash and cash equivalents may include holdings in bank demand deposits, money market investments, and certificates of deposit. Strive considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. Short-term investments consist of U.S. Treasury Bills that have a maturity exceeding three months and less than 12 months at the time of purchase. Strive classifies short-term investments as held-to-maturity based on Strive’s intent and ability to hold these investments until maturity. The Company decreased holdings of short-term investments period-over-period, instead holding in cash and cash equivalents, to meet commitments from recent transactions and to opportunistically invest in bitcoin and bitcoin-related product investments.

Previous wording

Previous wording

Net cash provided by financing activities was approximately $3.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to approximately $1.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024.
