Insights
Strive highlights sizable bitcoin holdings alongside cash and preferred equity complexity.
Strive discloses a bitcoin treasury of 13,741 bitcoin plus $86.9M in cash and $50.5M in STRC Stock as of April 2, 2026. This underscores a capital strategy that blends traditional liquidity with significant digital-asset exposure.
The company also details outstanding Class A, Class B, and SATA preferred shares, signaling a multi-class structure and perpetual preferred layer. Extensive risk language links future performance to Bitcoin strategies, integration of the merger transaction with Semler Scientific, Inc., potential dilution from additional Class A or SATA issuances, and possible changes to the SATA dividend rate.
Overall, the update is informational rather than a discrete transaction. Actual impact will depend on future Bitcoin price moves, how effectively the merger is integrated, and any board decisions regarding further equity issuance or dividend adjustments, which would appear in subsequent disclosures.

bitcoin treasury financial
"the Company’s bitcoin treasury totaled 13,741 bitcoin"
A bitcoin treasury is a collection of bitcoin holdings owned by a company or organization, similar to how a savings account stores money. It represents a strategic reserve of digital currency that can be used for investments, operational costs, or future growth. For investors, a bitcoin treasury can signal financial strength or a company's confidence in cryptocurrencies as part of its long-term plans.
SATA Stock financial
"4,373,194 shares of SATA Stock outstanding as of April 2, 2026"
forward-looking statements regulatory
"Certain statements herein may constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning"
Forward-looking statements are predictions or plans that companies share about what they expect to happen in the future, like estimating sales or profits. They matter because they help investors understand a company's outlook, but since they are based on guesses and assumptions, they can sometimes be wrong.
merger transaction financial
"financial benefits of the merger transaction with Semler Scientific, Inc."
A merger transaction is when two companies combine into a single business, with one or both sets of owners exchanging, selling or reorganizing their shares so the firms operate together. For investors it matters because the deal can change the value and risk of their holdings — like two households moving in together and pooling budgets, it can create cost savings or new revenue but also brings integration costs, different ownership stakes and regulatory hurdles that affect share prices.
digital assets financial
"risks associated with Bitcoin and other digital assets, general economic and market conditions"
Digital assets are electronic files or representations of value stored electronically, such as cryptocurrencies, digital tokens, or digital art. They matter to investors because they can be bought, sold, and used for transactions much like physical assets, but exist entirely in digital form, offering new opportunities for investment and financial innovation.

Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
Certain statements herein may constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Rule 175 promulgated thereunder, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and Rule 3b-6 promulgated thereunder, which statements involve inherent risks and uncertainties. Examples of forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, express or implied statements regarding the outlook and expectations of Strive and its subsidiaries, the strategic benefits and financial benefits of the merger transaction with Semler Scientific, Inc. (the "merger transaction"), including the expected impact of the merger transaction on Strive's future financial performance and the ability to successfully integrate the combined businesses, and Strive's intentions with respect to adjusting the SATA Stock 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 and its management team 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 outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against Strive or its subsidiaries;
•the possibility that the anticipated benefits of the merger transaction 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 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 or SATA Stock;
•potential adverse reactions of Strive’s clients and customers or changes to business or employee relationships, including those resulting from the completion of the merger transaction;
•other factors that may affect future results of Strive.
These factors are not necessarily all of the factors that could cause Strive'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's results.
Although Strive 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 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 and other documents subsequently filed by Strive 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 or its businesses or operations. Investors are cautioned not to rely too heavily on any such forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements contained herein speak only as of the date hereof, and Strive undertakes 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.
