Consummated the acquisition of Semler Scientific, Inc. ("Semler Scientific") in an all-stock transaction, resulting in Strive acquiring the approximately 5,048 bitcoin held by Semler Scientific. Strive intends to monetize the business as it remains focused on its bitcoin accumulation strategy.

On January 27, 2026, the Company completed a follow-on registered public offering of 1,320,000 shares of its SATA Stock at a price to the public of $90.00 per share, resulting in net proceeds of approximately $109.3 million, after deducting the underwriting discounts and commissions and the Company's offering expenses. Strive utilized these proceeds, along with cash on hand, to retire the $20 million loan with Coinbase Credit Inc., which Strive assumed as part of the acquisition of Semler Scientific. Concurrent with the above public offering, Strive exchanged approximately 929,999 shares of SATA Stock, with a $93.0 million notional balance, for $90.0 million of the principal balance of the convertible notes assumed as part of the acquisition of Semler Scientific, representing 90.0% of the principal balance of the convertible debt principal balance assumed from Semler Scientific.

GAAP net loss of $265.9 million, for the three months ended March 31, 2026. $295.8 million (96.6%) of the GAAP net loss was attributable to the fair market value decrease in bitcoin holdings.

Non-GAAP adjusted net loss attributable to common stockholders1 of $319.7 million, or $5.19 per diluted common share1, for the three months ended March 31, 2026. $295.8 million (92.5%) of the $319.7 million non-GAAP adjusted net loss attributable to common stockholders was attributable to the fair market value decrease in bitcoin holdings and $13.7 million (7.5%) was attributable to other business operations. Non-GAAP adjusted net loss attributable to common stockholders subtracts non-recurring and non-cash items from GAAP net loss attributable to common stockholders.

"SATA will be the first listed security in the history of U.S. capital markets to pay cash dividends every single Business Day, beginning June 16, 2026, at a current annualized rate of 13.00%. This is a true zero-to-one innovation," said Matthew Cole, Chairman & Chief Executive Officer of Strive, Inc. "Today, Strive stands debt-free, with zero margin requirements, and zero encumbered Bitcoin; a balance sheet purpose-built to thrive through Bitcoin volatility. We're thrilled to unveil the next chapter for Strive: The Daily Dividend Company."
