This is a routine, non-event amendment. Ramaswamy's stake is being diluted by the company's ATM equity program, but he has not sold shares or changed his activist stance. Monitor future 13D amendments for any change in purpose or demands.

Executive Summary
Vivek Ramaswamy filed Amendment No. 3 to his Schedule 13D on Strive, Inc. (ASST) on October 13, 2026, solely to update his beneficial ownership percentage due to the company's ongoing at-the-market equity offering diluting his stake. His direct and indirect holdings remain unchanged at 5,693,897 shares of Class A Common Stock (assuming conversion of Class B shares), but his percentage dropped from a prior level to 5.6%. This is a passive, administrative update with no change in position or intent.
