Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Strive, Inc. (ASST) completed an underwritten sale of 2,000,000 shares of its Variable Rate Series A Perpetual Preferred Stock (SATA) at $80 per share, an upsize of 750,000 shares. The deal settled on November 10, 2025 and generated $149.3 million in net proceeds, which the company used to purchase bitcoin and for general corporate purposes, including working capital.

The SATA Stock carries an initial 12.00% annual dividend on a $100 stated amount, paid monthly starting December 15, 2025, with the rate adjustable by the company subject to defined restrictions. Strive set aside a dividend reserve of $12.00 per share at closing. The shares have a $100 initial liquidation preference and rank senior to Class A and B common stock for dividends and liquidation.

Strive may redeem SATA at $110 per share (plus accrued dividends) after listing on a major exchange, and holders gain a repurchase right upon certain Fundamental Change events. The offering was conducted off an effective Form S-3ASR and included customary underwriting terms.

Insights

Strive raised $149.3M via preferreds with a 12% initial coupon.

Strive issued 2,000,000 shares of variable-rate perpetual preferred at $80 per share, upsized by 750,000 shares. Net proceeds of $149.3 million were earmarked to purchase bitcoin and for general corporate purposes, including working capital. Dividends start at 12.00% on a $100 stated amount, paid monthly, with adjustments allowed under strict guardrails tied to one‑month term SOFR and pricing thresholds.

Structural protections include a $100 liquidation preference senior to common, a dividend reserve of $12.00 per share, and step‑up compounded dividends for unpaid amounts up to a 20% cap. Redemption is permitted at $110 per share (plus accrued) after listing; holders also have a repurchase right upon a defined Fundamental Change. These terms shape income profile and downside protections for the new class.

Potential activity depends on future dividend adjustments and any redemption decisions. Subsequent disclosures may clarify listing status and any exercise of redemption or Fundamental Change provisions.

Item 1.01
Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

On November 5, 2025, Strive, Inc. (“Strive” or the “Company”) entered into an underwriting agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with Barclays Capital Inc. and Cantor Fitzgerald & Co., as the joint book-running managers and representatives of the several underwriters (the “Underwriters”), relating to the issuance and sale in an underwritten offering (the “Offering”) registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), of 2,000,000 shares (the “Shares”) of the Company’s Variable Rate Series A Perpetual Preferred Stock, $0.001 par value per share (the “SATA Stock”), an upsize of 750,000 shares over the amount previously announced, at a public offering price of $80 per share. Certain terms of the SATA Stock are described in more detail in this Current Report under Item 3.03 and is incorporated by reference into this Item 1.01.

The issuance and sale of the SATA Stock settled on November 10, 2025. The net proceeds from the Offering were approximately $149.3 million, after deducting the underwriting discounts and commissions and the Company’s estimated offering expenses. The Company utilized the net proceeds from the Offering to purchase bitcoin and for general corporate purposes, including, among other things, for working capital.

The Underwriting Agreement contained customary representations, warranties, and agreements by the Company, customary conditions to closing, indemnification obligations of the Company and the Underwriters, including for liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, other obligations of the parties, and termination provisions.

The Offering was made pursuant to an effective shelf registration statement on Form S-3ASR (Registration No. 333-290252) on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). The Offering was made only by means of a prospectus supplement and an accompanying prospectus.

The foregoing description of the Underwriting Agreement does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the Underwriting Agreement, which is filed herewith as Exhibit 1.1 and incorporated herein by reference.




 
Item 3.03.
Material Modifications to Rights of Security Holders.

In connection with the issuance of the SATA Stock, Strive filed a Certificate of Designation (the “Certificate of Designation”) with the Nevada Secretary of State (which became effective on November 10, 2025) designating 2,000,000 shares, and establishing the terms, of the SATA Stock.

The SATA Stock accumulates cumulative dividends (“regular dividends”) at a variable rate (as described below) per annum on the stated amount of $100 per share (the “stated amount”) thereof. Regular dividends will be payable when, as and if declared by Strive’s board of directors (“Board”) or any duly authorized committee thereof, out of funds legally available for their payment, monthly in arrears on the 15th calendar day of each calendar month, beginning on December 15, 2025 (or beginning on such other date specified in the certificate representing such share(s)). The initial monthly regular dividend rate per annum is 12.00%. However, Strive has the right, in its sole and absolute discretion, to adjust the monthly regular dividend rate per annum applicable to subsequent regular dividend periods. Strive’s right to adjust the monthly regular dividend rate per annum is subject to certain restrictions. For example, Strive is not permitted to reduce the monthly regular dividend rate per annum that will apply to any regular dividend period (i) by more than the following amount from the monthly regular dividend rate per annum applicable to the prior regular dividend period: the sum of (1) 25 basis points; and (2) the excess, if any, of (x) the one-month term SOFR rate on the first business day of such prior regular dividend period, over (y) the minimum of the one-month term SOFR rates that occur on the business days during the period from, and including, the first business day of such prior regular dividend period to, and including, the last business day of such prior regular dividend period; or (ii) to a rate per annum that is less than the one-month term SOFR rate in effect on the business day before Strive provides notice of the next monthly regular dividend rate per annum. In addition, Strive is not entitled to elect to reduce the monthly regular dividend rate per annum unless and until (x) three (3) months following the initial issue date, or such earlier time as the arithmetic average of the last reported sale prices per share of SATA Stock for each trading day of twenty (20) consecutive trading days at any time during the three (3) months following the initial issuance date exceeds $100, (y) all accumulated regular dividends, if any, on the SATA Stock then outstanding for all prior completed regular dividend periods, if any, have been paid in full and (z) the arithmetic average of the last reported sale prices per share of SATA Stock for each trading day during the immediately preceding regular dividend period is not less than $99 per share. Strive’s current intention (which is subject to change in Strive’s sole and absolute discretion) is to adjust the monthly regular dividend rate per annum in such manner as Strive believes will maintain the SATA Stock’s trading price within its stated long-term range of $95 and $105 per share. Declared regular dividends on the SATA Stock will be payable solely in cash. In the event that any accumulated regular dividend on the SATA Stock is not paid on the applicable regular dividend payment date, then additional regular dividends (“compounded dividends”) will accumulate on the amount of such unpaid regular dividend, compounded monthly. The compounded dividend rate applicable to any unpaid regular dividend that was due on a regular dividend payment date will initially be a rate per annum equal to 12% plus 25 basis points; provided, however, that, until such regular dividend, together with compounded dividends thereon, is paid in full, such compounded dividend rate will increase by 25 basis points per month for each subsequent regular dividend period, up to a maximum dividend rate of 20% per annum.

At the closing of the Offering, Strive established a dividend reserve in an amount equal to the first 12 months of dividend payments (assuming dividend payments are made at a rate of 12.00% per annum) calculated as of the date of the Offering and deposited $12.00 per share of SATA Stock into a separate account funded by the Company with existing cash on hand.

The SATA Stock has a par value of $0.001 per share and initially has a liquidation preference of $100 per share, subject to adjustment as set forth below (the “Liquidation Preference”). The SATA Stock ranks senior to Strive’s Class A common stock, $0.001 par value per share (the “Class A Common Stock”) and Class B common stock, $0.001 par value per share (the “Class B Common Stock”), with respect to the payment of dividends and the distribution of assets upon Strive’s liquidation, dissolution or winding up. If Strive liquidates, dissolves or winds up, whether voluntarily or involuntarily, then the holders of SATA Stock will be entitled to receive payment for the Liquidation Preference of, and all accumulated and unpaid regular dividends and any compounded dividends on, their shares of SATA Stock out of Strive’s assets or funds legally available for distribution to its stockholders, before any such assets or funds are distributed to, or set aside for the benefit of, holders of the Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock or other junior stock. The SATA Stock is junior to Strive’s existing and future indebtedness and structurally junior to the liabilities of Strive’s subsidiaries.



 
The Liquidation Preference of the SATA Stock is initially $100 per share. Effective immediately after the close of business on each business day after the initial issue date (and, if applicable, during the course of a business day on which any sale transaction to be settled by the issuance of the SATA Stock is executed, from the exact time of the first such sale transaction during such business day until the close of business of such business day), the Liquidation Preference per share of SATA Stock will be adjusted to be the greatest of (i) the stated amount per share of SATA Stock; (ii) in the case of any business day with respect to which Strive has, on such business day, executed any sale transaction to be settled by the issuance of SATA Stock, an amount equal to the last reported sale price per share of SATA Stock on the trading day immediately before such business day; and (iii) the arithmetic average of the last reported sale prices per share of SATA Stock for each trading day of the ten consecutive trading days (or, if applicable, the lesser number of trading days as have elapsed during the period from, and including, the initial issue date to, but excluding, such business day) immediately preceding such business day.

Strive has the right, at its election, to redeem all, or any whole number of shares, of the issued and outstanding SATA Stock, at any time, and from time to time, on a redemption date on or after the first date on which the SATA Stock is listed on any of The Nasdaq Global Market, The Nasdaq Global Select Market or The New York Stock Exchange (or any of their respective successors), at a cash redemption price per share of SATA Stock to be redeemed equal to $110 (or such higher amount as may be chosen in Strive’s sole discretion, it being understood that such higher amount (or the formula to determine such higher amount) will be announced by prior public notice and/or set forth in the applicable relevant notice of redemption), plus accumulated and unpaid regular dividends, if any, thereon to, and including the redemption date. However, Strive may not redeem less than all of the outstanding SATA Stock unless at least $50.0 million aggregate stated amount of the SATA Stock is outstanding and not called for redemption as of the time Strive provides the related redemption notice. Strive also has the right, at its election, to redeem all, but not less than all, of the SATA Stock, at any time, for cash if the total number of shares of all SATA Stock then outstanding is less than 25% of the total number of shares of SATA Stock originally issued in the Offering and in any future offering, taken together (such redemption, a “clean-up redemption”). In addition, Strive has the right to redeem all, but not less than all, of the SATA Stock if certain tax events occur (such redemption, a “tax redemption”). The redemption price for any SATA Stock to be redeemed pursuant to a clean-up redemption or a tax redemption will be a cash amount equal to the liquidation preference of the SATA Stock to be redeemed as of the business day before the date on which Strive provides the related redemption notice, plus accumulated and unpaid regular dividends, if any, thereon to, and including, the redemption date.

If an event that constitutes a “Fundamental Change” under the Certificate of Designation governing the SATA Stock occurs, then, subject to certain limitations, holders of the SATA Stock will have the right to require Strive to repurchase some or all of their shares of SATA Stock at a cash repurchase price equal to the stated amount of the SATA Stock to be repurchased, plus accumulated and unpaid regular dividends, if any, to, and including, the Fundamental Change repurchase date.

The SATA Stock has voting rights with respect to certain amendments to Strive’s articles of incorporation or the Certificate of Designation, certain business combination transactions and certain other matters. However, holders of the SATA Stock will not always be entitled to vote with holders of Class A Common Stock on matters on which holders of Class A Common Stock are entitled to vote.

If (in each case, subject to the Certificate of Designation) less than the full amount of accumulated and unpaid regular dividends on the outstanding SATA Stock have been declared and paid within 60 days of the following regular dividend payment date in respect of each of (i) 12 or more consecutive regular dividend payment dates; and (ii) 24 or more consecutive regular dividend payment dates, then, in each case, subject to certain limitations, if then required under Strive’s articles of incorporation or bylaws in order to increase the size of the Board, Strive will obtain board and/or shareholder approval to amend its articles of incorporation to increase the authorized number of its directors by one (or, to the fullest extent permitted under the Nevada Revised Statutes and Strive's articles of incorporation, Strive will cause the office of one director to be vacated) and the holders of the SATA Stock, voting together as a single class with the holders of each class or series of “Voting Parity Stock” (as defined in the Certificate of Designation) with similar voting rights regarding the election of directors upon a failure to pay dividends, which similar voting rights are then exercisable, will have the right to elect one director (a “Preferred Stock Director”) to fill such vacant directorship at Strive’s next annual meeting of stockholders (or, if earlier, at a special meeting of Strive’s stockholders called for such purpose). If, thereafter, all accumulated and unpaid dividends on the outstanding SATA Stock have been paid in full, then the right of the holders of the SATA Stock to elect any Preferred Stock Directors will terminate. Upon the termination of such right with respect to the SATA Stock and all other outstanding Voting Parity Stock, if any, the term of office of each person then serving as a Preferred Stock Director will immediately and automatically terminate (and, if the authorized number of Strive’s directors was increased by one or two, as applicable, in connection with such election, then the authorized number of Strive’s directors will automatically decrease by one or two, as applicable).

A copy of the Certificate of Designation and the form of the certificate representing the SATA Stock are filed as Exhibits 3.1 and 4.1, respectively, to this Current Report on Form 8-K, and the above summary is qualified by reference to the terms of the Certificate of Designation and the SATA Stock set forth in such exhibits.

Examples of forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding the outlook and expectations of Strive and Semler Scientific, Inc. (“Semler Scientific”), respectively, with respect to the proposed transaction (the “proposed transaction”), the strategic benefits and financial benefits of the proposed transaction, including the expected impact of the proposed transaction on the combined company’s future financial performance, the timing of the closing of the proposed transaction, the ability to successfully integrate the combined businesses, the estimated net proceeds of the Offering, the terms of the securities being offered and the Company’s intentions with respect to adjusting the SATA Stock’s monthly regular dividend rate per annum. Such statements are often characterized by the use of qualified words (and their derivatives) such as “may,” “will,” “anticipate,” “could,” “should,” “would,” “believe,” “contemplate,” “expect,” “estimate,” “continue,” “plan,” “project,” “predict,” “potential,” “assume,” “forecast,” “target,” “budget,” “outlook,” “trend,” “guidance,” “objective,” “goal,” “strategy,” “opportunity,” and “intend,” as well as words of similar meaning or other statements concerning opinions or judgments of Strive, Semler Scientific and/or their respective management teams about future events. Forward-looking statements are based on assumptions as of the time they are made and are subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors that are difficult to predict with regard to timing, extent, likelihood and degree of occurrence, which could cause actual results to differ materially from anticipated results expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements as a result of various important factors. Other risks, uncertainties and assumptions, including, among others, the following:


the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstances that could give rise to the right of one or both of Strive and Semler Scientific to terminate the merger agreement between Strive and Semler Scientific;


the possibility that the proposed transaction does not close when expected or at all because the conditions to closing are not received or satisfied on a timely basis or at all;


the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against Strive or Semler Scientific or the combined company;



 

the possibility that the anticipated benefits of the proposed transaction, including anticipated cost savings and strategic gains, are not realized when expected or at all, including as a result of changes in, or problems arising from, implementation of Bitcoin treasury strategies and risks associated with Bitcoin and other digital assets, general economic and market conditions, interest and exchange rates, monetary policy, and laws and regulations and their enforcement;


the possibility that the integration of the two companies may be more difficult, time-consuming or costly than expected;


the possibility that the proposed transaction may be more expensive or take longer to complete than anticipated, including as a result of unexpected factors or events;


the diversion of management’s attention from ongoing business operations and opportunities;


dilution caused by Strive’s issuance of additional shares of its Class A common stock in connection with the proposed transaction;


potential adverse reactions of Strive’s or Semler Scientific’s customers or changes to business or employee relationships, including those resulting from the announcement or completion of the proposed transaction;


changes in Strive’s or Semler Scientific’s share price before closing; and


other factors that may affect future results of Strive, Semler Scientific or the combined company.

These factors are not necessarily all of the factors that could cause Strive’s, Semler Scientific’s or the combined company’s actual results, performance or achievements to differ materially from those expressed in or implied by any of the forward-looking statements. Other factors, including unknown or unpredictable factors, also could harm Strive, Semler Scientific or the combined company’s results.

Although each of Strive and Semler Scientific believes that its expectations with respect to forward-looking statements are based upon reasonable assumptions within the bounds of its existing knowledge of its business and operations, there can be no assurance that the actual results of Strive or Semler Scientific will not differ materially from any projected future results expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Additional factors that could cause results to differ materially from those described above can be found in Strive’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, Strive’s Form S-4 filed on August 6, 2025 and October 10, 2025, under the “Supplementary Risk Factors” filed as an exhibit to Strive’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on September 24, 2025, Semler Scientific’s most recent annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 and quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, and other documents subsequently filed by Strive and Semler Scientific with the SEC.

The actual results anticipated may not be realized or, even if substantially realized, they may not have the expected consequences to or effects on Strive, Semler Scientific or their respective businesses or operations. Investors are cautioned not to rely too heavily on any such forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements contained herein and the press release attached hereto speak only as of the date hereof, and Strive and Semler Scientific undertake no obligation to update or clarify these forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except to the extent required by applicable law.
