Cryptocurrency Regulation: The ongoing discussions and upcoming US Senate vote on crypto regulation (CLARITY Act) will significantly impact the regulatory environment for Bitcoin and other crypto assets, directly affecting Strive, Inc.'s core business as a Bitcoin Treasury Asset Management firm.

Global Economic Outlook and Investor Sentiment: Downgraded global growth forecasts by the IMF amidst the Middle East conflict and rising oil prices could lead to reduced investor appetite for riskier assets, including cryptocurrencies, potentially impacting Strive's asset valuations and investor inflows.

Bitcoin Price Volatility: As a firm focused on accumulating Bitcoin and increasing Bitcoin-per-share, Strive, Inc.'s financial performance is highly sensitive to the inherent price volatility of Bitcoin. Significant movements in Bitcoin's value directly affect the company's asset base and profitability.
