Asset Entities says shareholders approve merger with Strive

Asset Entities (ASST) on Tuesday announced that its stockholders have voted to approve the previously announced merger with Strive Enterprises, whose stockholders approved the transaction on September 4, 2025. The approval, which was supported by a strong majority of Asset Entities’ shareholders, marks the next step in creating a leading public Bitcoin Treasury Company. The closing of the Merger is subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, including the clearance by The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC of the company’s listing application, subject to official notice of issuance. Upon the completion of the merger, the combined company will be renamed Strive, Inc. and continue to trade on Nasdaq under the ticker symbol ASST. The combined company will be led by Matt Cole, as CEO and Chairman of the Board. Asset Entities President and CEO Arshia Sarkhani will serve as Chief Marketing Officer and as a member of the Board of Directors. “This shareholder approval is a defining moment in our mission to build a world-class Bitcoin Treasury Company,” said Cole. “Through our reverse-merger structure, zero debt profile, and $750M PIPE, we are uniquely positioned relative to peers to execute our strategy and maximize Bitcoin per share for investors. Our focus is on disciplined, long-term strategies designed to outperform Bitcoin itself over time and create perpetual shareholder value.”
