Redeemable Preferred Stock Redeemable Preferred Stock
Authorized Capital
The Company has 21,000,000,000 authorized shares of preferred stock, which have a designated par value of $0.001 per share. The Company's Variable Rate Series A Perpetual Preferred Stock (“SATA Stock”) is classified within mezzanine
equity as certain events that could cause such outstanding shares to become redeemable are not solely within the control of the Company. Issuances of the SATA Stock are recognized based on proceeds received, net of issuance costs and are not accreted to its redemption value unless it is probable that the SATA Stock will become redeemable. The Company has evaluated the probability of a redemption in connection with a Fundamental Change (as defined in the Certificate of Designation (as defined below)). Based on current facts and circumstances and the Company’s current and projected capital structure, management has determined that the occurrence of a Fundamental Change is remote. Accordingly, the Company concluded that accretion to the redemption value of the Preferred Stock is not required as of the reporting date.
Variable Rate Series A Perpetual Preferred Stock
On November 10, 2025, the Company completed a registered public offering of 2,000,000 shares of its SATA Stock, at a price to the public of $80.00 per share, for net proceeds of approximately $148.4 million, after deducting the underwriting discounts and commissions and the Company’s offering expenses. The Company filed a certificate of designation (the "Certificate of Designation") with the Nevada Secretary of State designating and establishing the terms of the SATA Stock. The SATA Stock is listed for trading on the Nasdaq Global Market under the symbol “SATA.” As part of the SATA public offering, at the Company’s request, the underwriters reserved up to 100,000 shares of SATA Stock for sale at the public offering price through a directed share program to certain of the Company’s employees, officers and directors based in the United States and their friends and family members, and certain other individuals identified by management. Under the directed share program, Vivek Ramaswamy, who beneficially owned more than 5% of our Class B Common Stock at the time of the offering and is a Principal Stockholder under our Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation purchased 15,625 shares of SATA Stock for $1.3 million.
On January 27, 2026, the Company issued 1,320,000 shares of SATA Stock in a public offering registered under the Securities Act (the "Follow-On Offering"). The Company received approximately $109.2 million of net proceeds, after deducting the underwriting discounts and commissions and expected offering expenses, from the issuance of our SATA Stock in the Follow-On Offering. On January 22, 2026, the Company entered into separate, privately negotiated exchange agreements with certain holders of the Semler Convertible Notes, representing $90.0 million aggregate principal amount of the Semler Convertible Notes, pursuant to which such holders exchanged their Semler Convertible Notes for approximately 929,999 newly issued shares of SATA Stock concurrent with the closing of the Follow-On Offering.
The SATA Stock accumulates cumulative dividends ("regular dividends") at a variable rate (as described below) per annum on the stated amount of $100 per share thereof. Regular Dividends on the SATA Stock will be payable when, as and if declared by the Company’s board of directors or any duly authorized committee thereof, out of funds legally available for their payment, monthly in arrears on the 15th calendar day of each calendar month. The Company has the right, in its sole and absolute discretion, to adjust the monthly regular dividend rate per annum applicable to subsequent regular dividend periods. The Company’s right to adjust the monthly regular dividend rate per annum is subject to certain restrictions. For example, the Company is not permitted to reduce the monthly regular dividend rate per annum that will apply to any regular dividend period (i) by more than the following amount from the monthly regular dividend rate per annum applicable to the prior regular dividend period: the sum of (1) 25 basis points; and (2) the excess, if any, of (x) the one-month term secured overnight financing rate (“SOFR”) rate on the first business day of such prior regular dividend period, over (y) the minimum of the one-month term SOFR rates that occur on the business days during the period from, and including, the first business day of such prior regular dividend period to, and including, the last business day of such prior regular dividend period; or (ii) to a rate per annum that is less than the one-month term SOFR rate in effect on the business day before the Company provides notice of the next monthly regular dividend rate per annum. In addition, the Company is not entitled to elect to reduce the monthly regular dividend rate per annum unless and until (x) three (3) months following the initial issue date, or such earlier time as the arithmetic average of the last reported sale prices per share of SATA Stock for each trading day of twenty (20) consecutive trading days at any time during the three (3) months following the initial issuance date exceeds $100, (y) all accumulated regular dividends, if any, on the SATA Stock then outstanding for all prior completed regular dividend periods, if any, have been paid in full, and (z) the arithmetic average of the last reported sale prices per share of SATA Stock for each trading day during the immediately preceding regular dividend period is not less than $99 per share. The Company’s current intention (which is subject to change in the Company’s sole and absolute discretion) is to adjust the monthly regular dividend rate per annum in such manner as the Company believes will maintain SATA Stock’s trading price within its stated long-term range of $99 and $101 per share. Declared regular dividends on the SATA Stock will be payable solely in cash. In the event that any accumulated regular dividend on the SATA Stock is not paid on the applicable regular dividend payment date, then SATA Compounded Dividends will accumulate on the amount of such unpaid regular dividend, compounded monthly. As of December 31, 2025, there are no accumulated SATA Compounded Dividends.
The SATA Stock initially had a liquidation preference of $100 per share, subject to adjustment as set forth below (the “Liquidation Preference”), with a Liquidation Preference of $100 per share as of December 31, 2025. Effective
immediately after the close of business on each business day after the initial issue date (and, if applicable, during the course of a business day on which any sale transaction to be settled by the issuance of the SATA Stock is executed, from the exact time of the first such sale transaction during such business day until the close of business of such business day), the Liquidation Preference per share of SATA Stock will be adjusted to be the greatest of (i) the stated amount per share of SATA Stock; (ii) in the case of any business day with respect to which Strive has, on such business day, executed any sale transaction to be settled by the issuance of SATA Stock, an amount equal to the last reported sale price per share of SATA Stock on the trading day immediately before such business day; and (iii) the arithmetic average of the last reported sale prices per share of SATA Stock for each trading day of the ten consecutive trading days (or, if applicable, the lesser number of trading days as have elapsed during the period from, and including, the initial issue date to, but excluding, such business day) immediately preceding such business day.
The SATA Stock ranks senior to Strive’s Class A common stock and Class B common stock with respect to the payment of dividends and the distribution of assets upon Strive’s liquidation, dissolution or winding up. If Strive liquidates, dissolves or winds up, whether voluntarily or involuntarily, then the holders of SATA Stock will be entitled to receive payment for the Liquidation Preference of, and all accumulated and unpaid regular dividends and any compounded dividends on, their shares of SATA Stock out of Strive’s assets or funds legally available for distribution to its stockholders, before any such assets or funds are distributed to, or set aside for the benefit of, holders of the Class A common stock and Class B common stock or other junior stock, if any. The SATA Stock is junior to Strive’s existing and future indebtedness and structurally junior to the liabilities of Strive’s subsidiaries.
Strive has the right, at its election, to redeem all, or any whole number of shares, of the issued and outstanding SATA Stock, at any time, and from time to time, at a cash redemption price per share of SATA Stock to be redeemed equal to $110 (or such higher amount as may be chosen in Strive’s sole discretion, it being understood that such higher amount (or the formula to determine such higher amount) will be announced by prior public notice and/or set forth in the applicable relevant notice of redemption), plus accumulated and unpaid regular dividends, if any, thereon to, and including the redemption date. However, Strive may not redeem less than all of the outstanding SATA Stock unless at least $50.0 million aggregate stated amount of the SATA Stock is outstanding and not called for redemption as of the time Strive provides the related redemption notice. Strive also has the right, at its election, to redeem all, but not less than all, of the SATA Stock, at any time, for cash if the total number of shares of all SATA Stock then outstanding is less than 25% of the total number of shares of SATA Stock originally issued in the Offering and in any future offering, taken together (such redemption, a “clean-up redemption”). In addition, Strive has the right to redeem all, but not less than all, of the SATA Stock if certain tax events occur (such redemption, a “tax redemption”). The redemption price for any SATA Stock to be redeemed pursuant to a clean-up redemption or a tax redemption will be a cash amount equal to the Liquidation Preference of the SATA Stock to be redeemed as of the business day before the date on which Strive provides the related redemption notice, plus accumulated and unpaid regular dividends, if any, thereon to, and including, the redemption date.
If an event that constitutes a “Fundamental Change” under the Certificate of Designation governing the SATA Stock occurs, then, subject to certain limitations, holders of the SATA Stock will have the right to require Strive to repurchase some or all of their shares of SATA Stock at a cash repurchase price equal to the stated amount of the SATA Stock to be repurchased, plus accumulated and unpaid regular dividends, if any, to, and including, the Fundamental Change repurchase date.
The SATA Stock has voting rights with respect to certain amendments to Strive’s articles of incorporation or the Certificate of Designation, certain business combination transactions and certain other matters. However, holders of the SATA Stock will not always be entitled to vote with holders of Class A common stock on matters on which holders of Class A common stock are entitled to vote.
If (in each case, subject to the Certificate of Designation) less than the full amount of accumulated and unpaid regular dividends on the outstanding SATA Stock have been declared and paid within 60 days of the following regular dividend payment date in respect of each of (i) 12 or more consecutive regular dividend payment dates; and (ii) 24 or more consecutive regular dividend payment dates, then, in each case, subject to certain limitations, if then required under Strive’s articles of incorporation or bylaws in order to increase the size of the board of directors, Strive will obtain board and/or stockholder approval to amend its articles of incorporation to increase the authorized number of its directors by one (or, to the fullest extent permitted under the Nevada Revised Statutes and Strive's articles of incorporation, Strive will cause the office of one director to be vacated) and the holders of the SATA Stock, voting together as a single class with the holders of each class or series of “Voting Parity Stock” (as defined in the Certificate of Designation) with similar voting rights regarding the election of directors upon a failure to pay dividends, which similar voting rights are then exercisable, will have the right to elect one director (a “Preferred Stock Director”) to fill such vacant directorship at Strive’s next annual meeting of stockholders (or, if earlier, at a special meeting of Strive’s stockholders called for such purpose). If, thereafter, all accumulated and unpaid dividends on the outstanding SATA Stock have been paid in full, then the right of the holders of the SATA Stock to elect any Preferred Stock Directors will terminate. Upon the termination of such right with respect to
the SATA Stock and all other outstanding Voting Parity Stock, if any, the term of office of each person then serving as a Preferred Stock Director will immediately and automatically terminate (and, if the authorized number of Strive’s directors was increased by one or two, as applicable, in connection with such election, then the authorized number of Strive’s directors will automatically decrease by one or two, as applicable).
Dividends on Preferred Stock
During the period from September 12, 2025 to December 31, 2025, the Company declared dividends to holders of SATA Stock of $4.3 million, or $2.1541 per share of SATA Stock. The monthly regular dividend rate as of December 31, 2025 per annum was 12.25%.
At-the-Market Preferred Equity Program
On December 9, 2025, the Company entered into a Controlled Equity OfferingSM Sales Agreement (the “SATA Sales Agreement”) with each of Cantor Fitzgerald & Co., Barclays Capital Inc., and Clear Street LLC (each, an "Agent", and collectively the “Agents”), pursuant to which the Company, from time to time, at its option, may offer and sell shares of its SATA Stock to or through the Agents, acting as the principal and/or agent, having an aggregate sales price of up to $500.0 million. During the period from September 12, 2025 to December 31, 2025, the Company issued 13 thousand shares of SATA Stock for aggregate gross proceeds of $1.2 million. As of December 31, 2025, the Company has the availability to raise approximately $498.8 million through the issuance and sale of its SATA Stock pursuant to the SATA Sales Agreement.
