NEWS RELEASE Strive, Inc. Announces Third Quarter 2025 Financial Results 2025-11-14 DALLAS, Nov. 14, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Strive, Inc. (Nasdaq: ASST) (“Strive” or the “Company”), the rst Bitcoin treasury company amplied exclusively with perpetual preferred equity, today announced its nancial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2025. Third Quarter 2025 Highlights: Consummated the reverse acquisition of Asset Entities Inc. and concurrently raised $762.6 million through PIPE nancing transaction and warrant exercises through September 30, 2025, with the opportunity to raise an additional $736.6 million through exercise of remaining warrants. Announced the entry into an agreement and plan of merger for the acquisition of Semler Scientic, Inc. ("Semler") in an all-stock transaction that would result in Semler being a wholly owned subsidiary of Strive, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions and approval by the stockholders of Semler. Strive has identied potential new executive leadership for Semler Scientic's operating business to oversee a broader mandate centered on preventative healthcare. The target for the buildout is to mirror the organizational model that Strive co-founder Vivek Ramaswamy pioneered with Roivant Sciences in the biotech sector. Strive believes the refreshed Semler business, with the proper execution, will enhance shareholder value for the combined company and could potentially enable Strive to monetize the business as it remains focused on its Bitcoin strategy. Accumulated an aggregate holding of 5,886 Bitcoin, with a total cost of $683.0 million and fair value of $672.9 million as of September 30, 2025. As of November 7, 2025, the Company held reported holdings of 7,525 Bitcoin following the closing of its perpetual preferred equity. GAAP net loss of $192.3 million, or $0.22 per diluted common share, for the period from September 12, 2025 1

to September 30, 2025, with expected non-recurring ($7.5 million) and/or non-cash items ($179.3 million), accounting for 93.2% of the net loss. Non-GAAP adjusted net loss of $13.0 million, or $0.01 per diluted common share, for the period from September 12, 2025 to September 30, 2025. Non-GAAP adjusted net loss subtracts non-recurring and non- cash items from GAAP net loss. Management forecasts its asset management operating business to have a single digit million-dollar loss to a single digit million-dollar income, or $0.01 net loss to $0.01 net income per diluted common share, respectively, in 2026. On November 10, 2025, the Company completed a registered public oering of 2,000,000 shares of its Variable Rate Series A Perpetual Preferred Stock (“SATA Stock”), at a price to the public of $80.00 per share, for net proceeds of approximately $149.3 million, after deducting the underwriting discounts and commissions and the Company’s estimated oering expenses. The SATA Stock is listed for trading on The Nasdaq Global Market under the symbol “SATA.” In November 2025, the Company made available a dashboard on our website to provide ongoing information, including market prices of outstanding securities, Bitcoin purchases and holdings, amplication ratios, credit data, and other supplemental information. The Bitcoin treasury dashboard can be viewed at https://treasury.strive.com/. The Company released an investor update for both ASST common stock and the SATA Stock with management commentary on the update given during the Hurdle Rate on November 10, 2025. The ASST and SATA Investor Update can be viewed at https://strive.com/documents/FG/strive_bitcoin/news/650391_2025.11_ASST__SATA_Update-vF.pdf. The Hurdle Rate presentation of the ASST and SATA investor update can be viewed at https://x.com/HurdleRatePod/status/1987898366496293088. “In the third quarter, Strive achieved signicant milestones in its Bitcoin accumulation journey, including the close of our reverse acquisition of Asset Entities Inc., which resulted in Strive becoming the rst publicly traded Bitcoin treasury asset management rm. Strive concurrently closed on a PIPE nancing transaction, and deployed the majority of the net proceeds into Bitcoin investments. We also entered into an agreement and plan of merger to acquire Semler Scientic, Inc., which we expect will be accretive to the Bitcoin exposure to our shareholders and provide signicant potential future value based on the synergy of Semler's medical device business and the expertise of Strive management and board members. Strive continued this positive momentum into the fourth quarter, closing the successful IPO of its rst issuance of variable rate perpetual preferred stock, making Strive the rst Bitcoin treasury company to nance its Bitcoin amplication exclusively through perpetual preferred equity, and the second overall, after Strategy, to issue a publicly traded perpetual preferred equity security,” said Matthew Cole, Chairman & Chief Executive Ocer of Strive, Inc. 1 1 2

Non-GAAP Financial Measures This press release contains certain non-GAAP nancial measures, consisting of non-GAAP adjusted net income (loss) and non-GAAP adjusted net income (loss) per diluted common share. Non-GAAP nancial measures are subject to material limitations as they are not measurements prepared in accordance with GAAP, and are not a substitute for such measurements. Our non-GAAP nancial measures are not meant to be considered in isolation and should be read only in conjunction with our consolidated nancial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. We rely primarily on such consolidated nancial statements to understand, manage, and evaluate our business performance and use the non-GAAP nancial measures as supplemental information. Reconciliations of reported GAAP historical measures to adjusted non-GAAP measures are included in the nancial schedules contained in this press release. Non-GAAP adjusted net income (loss) Non-GAAP adjusted net income (loss) and the related non-GAAP adjusted net income (loss) per diluted common share excludes the impact of (i) share-based compensation expense, (ii) depreciation and amortization, (iii) other derivative loss, (iv) transaction costs, and (v) goodwill and intangible asset impairments. We believe these measures oer management and investors insight as they exclude signicant non-cash and/or non-recurring items.
