In conjunction with the merger, the company has finalized equity financing amounting to $750 million, with an additional $750 million potentially available upon the exercise of warrants issued in connection with such financing.

On Monday, Strive Inc. (NASDAQ:ASST) announced leadership changes, with Matt Cole now taking the chairmanship and chief executive positions of the company.

Ben Pham, also took on the chief financial officer position, while Asset Entities’ former CEO, Arshia Sarkhani, took the role of a chief marketing officer.

“Our board and executive team have world-class expertise in Bitcoin, Bitcoin treasury management, capital markets, policy, and governance. We have quickly developed a strong working chemistry that is rare, and I believe will drive substantial shareholder value. We intentionally put together this team to enable Strive to lead with an unwavering focus on Bitcoin accumulation, strategic decision making, and fiduciary duty in service of our mission to increase Bitcoin per share and outperform Bitcoin over the long run,” Cole said.
