Exhibit 99.1

 

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

 

The following unaudited pro forma combined consolidated financial information was prepared using the acquisition method of accounting under GAAP, and gives effect to the transaction between Strive, Inc. (“Strive”) and Semler Scientific, Inc. (“Semler Scientific”, and such transaction, the “Semler Merger”) to be accounted for as a business combination, with Strive being deemed the acquiring company for accounting purposes.

 

Strive was determined to be the accounting acquirer based upon the terms of the Semler Merger Agreement, as defined below, and other factors including, assuming the Semler Merger is consummated: (i) Strive’s existing stockholders are expected to have the greatest voting interest in the combined entity following consummation of the Semler Merger; (ii) the largest individual stockholder of the combined entity is expected to be an existing stockholder of Strive; (iii) directors of Strive are expected to hold a majority of board seats of the combined company; and (iv) Strive’s senior management is expected to control the strategic direction of Strive following consummation of the Semler Merger.

 

The following unaudited pro forma combined consolidated financial statements are based on the historical financial statements of Strive, Inc. and Semler Scientific, Inc., as adjusted to give effect to Strive’s acquisition of Semler Scientific, Inc. and certain related transactions.

 

On May 6, 2025, Strive Enterprises, Inc. (“SEI”) entered into that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of May 6, 2025, as amended by that certain Amended and Restated Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of June 27, 2025 (the “Asset Entities Merger Agreement”) with Asset Entities Inc. (“Asset Entities”). On September 12, 2025, pursuant to the Asset Entities Merger Agreement, Alpha Merger Sub, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Asset Entities Inc., merged with and into SEI, with SEI surviving as a wholly owned subsidiary of Asset Entities Inc. Concurrent with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Asset Entities Merger Agreement, Asset Entities Inc. was renamed Strive, Inc. (the “Asset Entities Merger”). Because the merger between SEI and Asset Entities has been determined to be a reverse acquisition, with SEI being the accounting acquirer, Strive determined that SEI is the predecessor and Strive is the successor for the purposes of the historical financial statements of Strive. The unaudited pro forma combined consolidated statements of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and for the year ended December 31, 2024 give effect to these transactions as if they had occurred on January 1, 2024. The unaudited pro forma combined consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2025 gives effect to these transactions as if they had occurred on September 30, 2025. The historical financial information of Strive, Inc. included within the pro forma combined consolidated statement of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 includes the combined financial information of SEI for the period from January 1, 2025 to September 11, 2025 and the financial information of Strive for the period from September 12, 2025 to September 30, 2025. The weighted average number of common shares outstanding for SEI for the period from January 1, 2025 to September 11, 2025 has been adjusted to reflect the number of shares holders of historical SEI stock received upon the consummation of the Asset Entities Merger. The historical financial information of Strive, Inc. included within the pro forma combined consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2024 represents the financial information of SEI for the year ended December 31, 2024. The weighted average number of common shares outstanding for SEI for the year ended December 31, 2024 has been adjusted to reflect the number of shares holders of historical SEI stock received upon the consummation of the Asset Entities Merger.

 

Because Strive will be treated as the accounting acquirer in the Semler Merger, Strive’s assets and liabilities will be recorded at their pre-combination carrying amounts, and the historical operations that are reflected in the unaudited pro forma financial information will be those of Strive. Semler Scientific’s assets and liabilities will be measured and recognized at their fair values as of the transaction date, and combined with the assets, liabilities and results of operations of Strive after the consummation of the transaction.

 

The unaudited pro forma combined consolidated financial information is based on the assumptions and adjustments that are described in the accompanying notes. The application of the acquisition method of accounting is dependent upon a purchase price allocation analysis, which includes valuation analysis and other studies that have yet to be completed, pursuant to Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 805, Business Combinations. Accordingly, the pro forma adjustments are preliminary, subject to further revision as additional information becomes available and additional analyses are performed, and have been made solely for the purpose of providing unaudited pro forma combined consolidated financial information. Differences between these preliminary estimates and the final acquisition accounting, expected to be completed after the closing of the transaction, will occur and these differences could have a material impact on the accompanying unaudited pro forma combined consolidated financial information and the combined company’s future results of operations and financial position. In addition, differences between the preliminary and final amounts will likely occur as a result of changes in the fair value of Strive’s common stock and changes in Semler Scientific’s assets and liabilities.

 

The unaudited pro forma combined consolidated financial information does not give effect to the potential impact of current financial conditions, regulatory matters, operating efficiencies or other savings or expenses that may be associated with the integration of the two companies. The unaudited pro forma combined consolidated financial information is preliminary and has been prepared for illustrative purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of the financial position or results of operations in future periods or the results that actually would have been realized had Strive and Semler Scientific been a combined company during the specified periods. The actual results reported in periods following the transaction may differ significantly from those reflected in these pro forma financial information presented herein for a number of reasons, including, but not limited to, differences between the assumptions used to prepare this pro forma financial information and actual results realized.

 

The assumptions and estimates underlying the unaudited adjustments to the pro forma combined consolidated financial statements are described in the accompanying notes, which should be read together with the pro forma combined consolidated financial statements.

 

Defined terms included below shall have the same meaning as terms defined and included elsewhere in this Current Report on Form 8-K, unless otherwise noted.

 

 

 

 

Introduction and Description of Transaction

 

Strive, Inc., a Nevada corporation, whose Class A common stock trades on The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC under the symbol “ASST”, is a bitcoin treasury asset management firm. Strive’s wholly owned subsidiary, Strive Enterprises, Inc., an Ohio corporation, completed the reverse acquisition of Asset Entities on September 12, 2025, and continued as the surviving entity. Strive earns substantially all of its revenue from investment advisory and other investment management services, and generates market returns from investments in bitcoin and bitcoin-related products.

 

The historical financial information of Strive was derived from the unaudited consolidated financial statements of Strive, Inc. as of and for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, as well as the audited consolidated financial statements of Strive Enterprises, Inc. as of and for the year ended December 31, 2024, incorporated by reference in this filing. This information should be read together with Strive’s audited and unaudited financial statements and the related notes.

 

Strive, Inc. and Semler Scientific, Inc., whose common stock trades on The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC under the symbol “SMLR”, entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger dated September 22, 2025 (the “Semler Merger Agreement”). Pursuant to the Semler Merger Agreement, and subject to the satisfaction or waiver of customary closing conditions, a to be formed subsidiary of Strive (“Merger Sub”), will merge with and into Semler, with Semler surviving as a wholly owned subsidiary of Strive.

 

Pursuant to the Semler Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the Semler Merger (the “Effective Time”), each share of common stock of Semler issued and outstanding immediately before the Effective Time (other than treasury shares held by Semler) will be converted into the right to receive 21.05 shares of Strive Class A common stock.

 

Management has reviewed the applicable guidance under Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 805, “Business Combinations” (“Topic 805”) to determine the appropriate accounting acquirer and financial reporting implications. Based on this analysis, management has concluded that the Semler Merger will be accounted for as a business acquisition, where:

 

·Strive will be the accounting acquirer in this business combination.

 

·Strive’s historical financial statements will become the historical financial statements of the combined entity.

 

·Semler’s identifiable assets and liabilities will be recognized at fair value as of the acquisition date.

 

Strive is deemed as the accounting acquirer for the following reasons:

 

·Strive shareholders will retain the majority of the voting and economic value of the common shares of the combined company subsequent to the transaction.

 

·The remaining voting interests held by former Semler shareholders do not constitute a coordinated minority.

 

·Strive’s designated leadership will control the combined entity’s operations post business combination.

 

·Strive’s existing directors will control the majority of the post business combination board.

 

The following unaudited pro forma combined consolidated financial statements are based on the historical financial statements of Strive and the historical financial statements of Semler Scientific, as adjusted to give effect to Strive’s acquisition of Semler Scientific and certain related transactions. Because the merger between SEI and Asset Entities has been determined to be a reverse acquisition, with SEI being the accounting acquirer, Strive determined that SEI is the predecessor and Strive is the successor for the purposes of the historical financial statements of Strive. The unaudited pro forma combined consolidated statements of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and for the year ended December 31, 2024 give effect to these transactions as if they had occurred on January 1, 2024. The unaudited pro forma combined consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2025 gives effect to these transactions as if they had occurred on September 30, 2025. The historical financial information of Strive included within the pro forma combined consolidated statement of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 includes the combined financial information of SEI for the period from January 1, 2025 to September 11, 2025 and the financial information of Strive for the period from September 12, 2025 to September 30, 2025. The weighted average number of common shares outstanding for SEI for the period from January 1, 2025 to September 11, 2025 has been adjusted to reflect the number of shares holders of historical SEI stock received upon the consummation of the Asset Entities Merger. The historical financial information of Strive included within the pro forma combined consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2024 represents the financial information of SEI for the year ended December 31, 2024.

Note 1 — Basis of Presentation

 

The unaudited pro forma combined consolidated financial information has been prepared in accordance with Rule 8-05 and Article 11 of SEC Regulation S-X. The unaudited pro forma combined consolidated financial statements as of and for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and for the year ended December 31, 2024 gives effect to the proposed acquisition of Semler Scientific by Strive.

Based on Strive’s preliminary review of Strive and Semler’s summary of significant accounting policies, the nature and amount of any adjustments to the historical financial statements of Semler to conform its accounting policies to those of Strive are not expected to be material. Upon completion of the transactions, further review of accounting policies may result in additional revisions to historical accounting policies and classifications to conform to those of Strive.

 

The unaudited pro forma combined consolidated financial information is based on the assumptions and adjustments that are described in the accompanying notes. Accordingly, the pro forma adjustments are preliminary, subject to further revisions as additional information becomes available and additional analyses are performed, and have been made solely for the purpose of providing unaudited pro forma combined consolidated financial information. Differences between these preliminary accounting conclusions and estimates and the final accounting conclusions and amounts may occur as a result of, among other reasons, (i) changes in initial assumptions in determination of the accounting acquirer and related accounting and (ii) changes in Semler’s assets and liabilities, which are expected to be completed after the closing, and these differences could have a material impact on the accompanying unaudited pro forma combined consolidated financial information and the combined entity’s future results of operations and financial position.

 

The unaudited pro forma combined consolidated financial information has been presented for illustrative purpose only and is not necessarily indicative of the financial position and results of operations that would have been achieved had the Semler Merger occurred on the date indicated. Further, the unaudited pro forma combined consolidated financial information may not be useful in predicting the future financial condition and results of operations of the post-combination company. The actual financial position and results of operations may differ significantly from the pro forma amounts reflected herein due to a variety of factors. The unaudited pro forma adjustments represent Strive management’s estimates based on information available as of the date of the unaudited pro forma combined consolidated financial information and is subject to change as additional information becomes available and analyses are performed.

 

The historical consolidated financial statements of Strive and Semler were prepared in accordance with accounting policies generally accepted in the United States of America and shown in U.S. dollars.

 

For the purposes of these pro forma financial statements, the preliminary purchase price consideration is as follows:

 

Number of estimated Strive, Inc. Class A common stock to be issued to Semler stockholders   318,743,205 
Multiplied by Strive, Inc.'s Class A common stock price  $1.48 
Estimated purchase price consideration  $471,739,943 

 

Note 2 — Preliminary purchase price allocation

 

For accounting purposes, Strive is considered to be the acquiring company and the Semler Merger is expected to be accounted for as a business combination. The Semler Merger is accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with ASC Topic 805. Strive is the accounting acquirer as Strive will have assumed control over Semler as of the closing date. Topic 805 requires, among other things, that the assets acquired, and liabilities assumed be recognized at their acquisition date fair values, with any excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair values of the identifiable net assets acquired recorded as goodwill.

 

The allocation of the preliminary purchase price for Semler Scientific is based upon management’s estimates of and assumptions related to the fair value of the consideration transferred, assets acquired, and liabilities assumed as of the filing of the Current Report on Form 8-K using currently available information. The unaudited pro forma combined consolidated financial information has been prepared based on these preliminary estimates, such that the final purchase price allocation and the resulting effect on Strive’s financial position and earnings results may differ significantly from the pro forma amounts included herein.
