Item 5.03. Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws.

Additional SATA Investor Protection, Business Day Amendment

Strive, Inc. ("Strive" or the "Company") has filed with the Nevada Secretary of State a certificate of amendment (the “Amendment”) to the Amended and Restated Certificate of Designation (the “Amended and Restated SATA Certificate of Designation”) relating to its Variable Rate Series A Perpetual Preferred Stock ("SATA") to establish a minimum sale price of $100.00 per share (before taking into account any underwriting or sales discounts or commissions, fees or expenses) for all future sales of SATA by the Company.

This provision of the Amendment is intended to formalize the Company's previously announced policy of not issuing SATA below $100.00 per share by establishing such policy as a binding restriction under SATA's governing documents. The Company believes this additional investor protection further strengthens SATA's structural protections and reinforces the Company’s commitment to disciplined capital allocation.

In addition, the Amendment amended and restated the definition of “Business Day” to no longer exclude Saturday or Sunday, provided that such days do not fall on any day on which the Federal Reserve Bank of New York is authorized or required by law or executive order to close or be closed, any day that is not a trading day, or any day that the depositary is closed for business or providing limited settlement services.

The Company has revised such definition in order to provide for daily dividends on Saturday and Sunday to the extent that the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, The Nasdaq Stock Exchange and The Depository Trust Company permit for such activities in the future. The Company does not anticipate any change to its near-term dividend cadence as a result of this amendment.

Except as summarized above, the material terms of the Amended and Restated SATA Certificate of Designation otherwise remain unchanged.

The above description of the terms of the Amendment is a summary and is not complete. A copy of the Amendment is filed as Exhibit 3.1 to this Current Report, and the above summary is qualified by reference to the terms of the Amendment, which is incorporated herein by reference. The above summary and the Amendment supplement, update and are incorporated by reference into the Company's prospectus supplements filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 9, 2025 and September 15, 2025, each as further amended as of the date hereof, under its existing automatic shelf registration statement, which became effective on September 15, 2025 (File No. 333-290252), and the base prospectus contained therein.

Item 8.01. Other Events.

Dividend Rate on SATA

On October 13, 2026, the Company announced that its board of directors maintained the regular dividend rate per annum on SATA at 13.00%, effective for periods commencing on or after November 1, 2026.

Cash Dividend Declaration

Strive also announced that its board of directors declared daily cash dividends of $0.0571 (or $1.0849 in the aggregate for the full monthly period) per share of SATA for each business day for the period from November 1, 2026 through November 30, 2026, as listed in the table below (19 business days in the aggregate), which represents a per annum dividend rate of 13.00% on SATA. Daily payments will be made to stockholders of record of SATA at the close of business on the immediately preceding business day.

ROC Dividend Guidance

From a U.S. federal income tax perspective, to the extent distributions on SATA are not treated as being made out of the Company's accumulated or current earnings and profits, they will be treated generally as tax-deferred recovery of capital to the extent of the investor’s tax basis (in the case of a U.S. investor) and will be treated as exempt from U.S. dividend withholding tax (in the case of a non-U.S. investor). The Company does not have any accumulated earnings and profits, and does not expect to generate current earnings and profits in the current year or the foreseeable future.
