**Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.**

On August 22, 2025, Asset Entities, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the "Company"), and Strive Enterprises, Inc., an Ohio corporation ("Strive"), entered into exchange agreements (each an "Exchange Agreement" and together the "Exchange Agreements") with certain accredited investors (the "Investors"), pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue and exchange, an aggregate of 2,681,893 shares (the "Exchange Shares") of the Company's Class A common stock, $0.001 par value per share (after giving effect to the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement (as defined herein), including the redesignation of the Company's current Class B Common Stock to Class A Common Stock) (the "Class A Common Stock"), pursuant to amended and restated articles of incorporation of the Company to be adopted and approved in accordance with the Merger Agreement (as defined below), for the aggregate amount of 69 bitcoin. The exchange ratio was determined based on the price of bitcoin as of 4:00 p.m. New York City time on August 22, 2025 and an assumed per share price of $3.00 of the Class A Common Stock. The issuance of the Exchange Shares pursuant to the Exchange Agreements is expected to qualify as a tax-free exchange under Section 351 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. The transactions contemplated by the Exchange Agreements are referred to herein as the "351 Exchange."

The Exchange Agreements were entered into following the execution of the previously announced Amended and Restated Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated June 27, 2025 (the "Merger Agreement"), by and among the Company, Strive and Alpha Merger Sub, Inc., an Ohio corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.

The 351 Exchange is expected to close substantially concurrent with the transactions under the Merger Agreement, subject to the satisfaction of conditions precedent to the Company's and Strive's obligations to consummate the transactions under the Merger Agreement being satisfied or waived and such transactions being consummated, the Company obtaining shareholder approval for the issuance of the Exchange Shares as required by the applicable rules of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC, as well as the satisfaction of certain customary closing conditions. The Company expects to receive aggregate gross proceeds from the 351 Exchange of approximately 69 bitcoin.

Pursuant to the terms of the Exchange Agreements, the Company agreed to register for resale the Exchange Shares (the "Registrable Securities"), including an obligation to file a registration statement (the "Registration Statement") covering the resale by the Investors of their Registrable Securities no later than 30 days following the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement. The Company has agreed to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Registration Statement to be declared effective as soon as practicable (and in no event later than the earlier of (i) the 45th day after the closing of the 351 Exchange or (ii) the 120th day after the closing of the 351 Exchange, if the Securities and Exchange Commission staff determines to review the Registration Statement) and to keep the Registration Statement effective until the date that all Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement have been sold or can be sold without restriction pursuant to Rule 144 and without the requirement to be in compliance with Rule 144(c)(1) (or any successor thereof) promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"). The Company has agreed to be responsible for all fees and expenses incurred in connection with the registration of the Registrable Securities.

The representations, warranties and covenants contained in the Exchange Agreement were made solely for the benefit of the parties thereto and may be subject to limitations agreed upon by the contracting parties. Accordingly, the Exchange Agreements are incorporated herein by reference only to provide investors with information regarding the terms thereof and not to provide investors with any other factual information regarding the Company or its business, and should be read in conjunction with the disclosures in the Company's periodic reports and other filings with the SEC.

The foregoing description of the Exchange Agreements do not purport to be complete and are qualified in its entirety by reference to the form of the Exchange Agreements, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated by reference.

**Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.**

The information set forth in Item 1.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated herein by reference. The Securities were issued and sold in reliance upon the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated thereunder. Each Investor represented that it is an "accredited investor" as defined in Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act or "qualified institutional buyers" within the meaning of Rule 144A under the Securities Act. The Securities have not been registered under the Securities Act or any state securities laws and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from registration requirements.

**Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements** 

Certain statements herein and the documents incorporated herein by reference may constitute "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, Section 27A of the Securities Act, and Rule 175 promulgated thereunder, and Section 21E of the Exchange Act, and Rule 3b-6 promulgated thereunder, which statements involve inherent risks and uncertainties. Examples of forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding the outlook and expectations of Strive and the Company, respectively, with respect to the proposed transaction, the strategic benefits and financial benefits of the proposed transaction, including the expected impact of the proposed transaction on the combined company's future financial performance (including anticipated accretion to earnings per share, the tangible book value earn-back period and other operating and return metrics), the timing of the closing of the proposed transaction, and the ability to successfully integrate the combined businesses. Such statements are often characterized by the use of qualified words (and their derivatives) such as "may," "will," "anticipate," "could," "should," "would," "believe," "contemplate," "expect," "estimate," "continue," "plan," "project," "predict," "potential," "assume," "forecast," "target," "budget," "outlook," "trend," "guidance," "objective," "goal," "strategy," "opportunity," and "intend," as well as words of similar meaning or other statements concerning opinions or judgment of Strive, the Company or their respective management about future events. Forward-looking statements are based on assumptions as of the time they are made and are subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors that are difficult to predict with regard to timing, extent, likelihood and degree of occurrence, which could cause actual results to differ materially from anticipated results expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Such risks, uncertainties and assumptions, include, among others, the following:

● the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstances that could give rise to the right of one or both of the parties to terminate the Merger Agreement between Strive, the Company and the other parties thereto;

● the possibility that the proposed transaction does not close when expected or at all because the conditions to closing are not received or satisfied on a timely basis or at all;

● the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against Strive or the Company or the combined company;

● the possibility that the anticipated benefits of the proposed transaction, including anticipated cost savings and strategic gains, are not realized when expected or at all, including as a result of changes in, or problems arising from, general economic and market conditions, interest and exchange rates, monetary policy, laws and regulations and their enforcement, and the degree of competition in the geographic and business areas in which Strive or the Company operate;

● the possibility that the integration of the two companies may be more difficult, time-consuming or costly than expected;

● the possibility that the proposed transaction may be more expensive or take longer to complete than anticipated, including as a result of unexpected factors or events;

● the diversion of management's attention from ongoing business operations and opportunities;

● potential adverse reactions of Strive's or the Company's customers or changes to business or employee relationships, including those resulting from the announcement or completion of the proposed transaction;

● changes in the Company's share price before closing; and

● other factors that may affect future results of Strive, the Company or the combined company.

These factors are not necessarily all of the factors that could cause Strive's, the Company's or the combined company's actual results, performance or achievements to differ materially from those expressed in or implied by any of the forward-looking statements. Other factors, including unknown or unpredictable factors, also could harm Strive's, the Company's or the combined company's results.

Although each of Strive and the Company believes that its expectations with respect to forward-looking statements are based upon reasonable assumptions within the bounds of its existing knowledge of its business and operations, there can be no assurance that actual results of Strive or the Company will not differ materially from any projected future results expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Additional factors that could cause results to differ materially from those described above can be found in the Company's most recent annual report on [Form 10-K](https://www.sec.gov/ix?doc=/Archives/edgar/data/0001920406/000121390025026431/ea0235693-10k_assetenti.htm) for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, and other documents subsequently filed by the Company with the SEC. The actual results anticipated may not be realized or, even if substantially realized, they may not have the expected consequences to or effects on Strive, the Company or their respective businesses or operations. Investors are cautioned not to rely too heavily on any such forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made and Strive and the Company undertake no obligation to update or clarify these forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except to the extent required by applicable law.

**Additional Information and Where to Find It**

induce the Issuer and Strive to enter into this Exchange Agreement, Investor hereby represents and warrants to the Issuer and Strive and
acknowledges and agrees with the Issuer and Strive as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.2.1 If Investor is not a natural person, Investor has been duly formed or incorporated and is validly existing in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation or formation, with power and authority to enter into, deliver and perform its obligations under this Exchange Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.2.2 This Exchange Agreement has been duly authorized, validly executed and delivered by Investor. Assuming that this Exchange Agreement constitutes the valid and binding agreement of the Issuer and Strive, this Exchange Agreement is the valid and binding obligation of the Investor, and is enforceable against Investor in accordance with its terms, except as may be limited or otherwise affected by (i) bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium or other laws relating to or affecting the rights of creditors generally, and (ii) principles of equity, whether considered at law or equity.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.2.3 The execution, delivery and performance by Investor of this Exchange Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated herein do not and will not (i) conflict with or result in a breach or violation of any of the terms or provisions of, or constitute a default under, or result in the creation or imposition of any lien, charge or encumbrance upon any of the property or assets of Investor or any of its subsidiaries pursuant to the terms of any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement, lease, license or other agreement or instrument to which Investor or any of its subsidiaries is a party or by which Investor or any of its subsidiaries is bound or to which any of the property or assets of Investor or any of its subsidiaries is subject, which would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the legal authority of Investor to enter into and timely perform its obligations under this Exchange Agreement (a "**Investor Material Adverse Effect**"), (ii) result in any violation of the provisions of the organizational documents of Investor or any of its subsidiaries or (iii) result in any violation of any statute or any judgment, order, rule or regulation of any court or governmental agency or body, domestic or foreign, having jurisdiction over Investor or any of its subsidiaries or any of their respective properties that would reasonably be expected to have a Investor Material Adverse Effect.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.2.4 Investor (i) is a "qualified institutional buyer" (as defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act) or an "accredited investor" (as described in Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act) satisfying the applicable requirements set forth on Schedule I, (ii) is acquiring the Exchange Shares only for its own account and not for the account of others, or if Investor is subscribing for the Exchange Shares as a fiduciary or agent for one or more investor accounts, each owner of such account is a qualified institutional buyer, and Investor has full investment discretion with respect to each such account, and the full power and authority to make the acknowledgements, representations, warranties and agreements herein on behalf of each owner of each such account and (iii) is not acquiring the Exchange Shares with a view to, or for offer or sale in connection with, any distribution thereof in violation of the Securities Act (and shall provide the requested information on Schedule I following the signature page hereto).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.2.6 Investor understands that the Exchange Shares are being offered in a transaction not involving any public offering within the meaning of the Securities Act and that the Exchange Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act. Investor understands that the Exchange Shares may not be resold, transferred, pledged or otherwise disposed of by Investor absent an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, except (i) to the Issuer or a subsidiary thereof, (ii) to non-U.S. persons pursuant to offers and sales that occur solely outside the United States within the meaning of Regulation S under the Securities Act or (iii) pursuant to another applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, and in each of cases (i) and (iii), in accordance with any applicable securities laws of the states and other jurisdictions of the United States, and that any certificates representing the Exchange Shares shall contain a legend to such effect. Investor acknowledges and agrees that the Exchange Shares will not immediately be eligible for offer, resale, transfer, pledge or disposition pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act. Investor understands and agrees that the Exchange Shares will be subject to transfer restrictions and, as a result of these transfer restrictions, Investor may not be able to readily resell the Exchange Shares and may be required to bear the financial risk of an investment in the Exchange Shares for an indefinite period of time. Investor understands that it has been advised to consult legal counsel prior to making any offer, resale, pledge or transfer of any of the Exchange Shares.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.2.7 Investor understands and agrees that Investor is acquiring the Exchange Shares directly from the Issuer. Investor further acknowledges that there have been no representations, warranties, covenants or agreements made to Investor by the Issuer and Strive or any of their respective officers or directors, expressly or by implication, other than those representations, warranties, covenants and agreements expressly set forth in this Exchange Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.2.8 Investor represents and warrants that its acquisition and holding of the Exchange Shares will not constitute or result in a non-exempt prohibited transaction under Section 406 of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended ("**ERISA**"), Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "**Code**"), or any applicable similar law.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.2.9 Investor acknowledges and agrees that Investor had access to, and an adequate opportunity to review, financial and other information as Investor deems necessary in order to make an investment decision with respect to the Exchange Shares. Investor represents and agrees that Investor and Investor's professional advisor(s), if any, have had the full opportunity to ask such questions, receive such answers and obtain such information as Investor and such Investor's professional advisor(s), if any, have deemed necessary to make an investment decision with respect to the Exchange Shares. Investor has made its own assessment and has satisfied itself concerning the relevant tax and other economic considerations relevant to its investment in the Exchange Shares.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.2.10 Investor became aware of the Exchange Offer solely by means of direct contact between Investor and the Issuer or its representatives. Investor did not become aware of this Exchange Offer, nor were the Exchange Shares offered to Investor, by any other means. Investor acknowledges that the Issuer represents and warrants that the Exchange Shares are not being offered in a manner involving a public offering under, or in a distribution in violation of, the Securities Act, or any state securities laws.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.2.11 Investor acknowledges that it is aware that there are substantial risks incident to the acquisition and ownership of the Exchange Shares, including those set forth in the SEC Documents (as defined below) and the investor presentation provided by Strive. Investor is able to fend for itself in the transactions contemplated herein, has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of acquiring the Exchange Shares, and has sought such accounting, legal and tax advice as Investor has considered necessary to make an informed decision to participate in the Exchange Offer.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.2.12 Without limiting the representations, warranties and covenants set forth in this Exchange Agreement, alone, or together with any professional advisor(s), Investor represents and acknowledges that Investor has adequately analyzed and fully considered the risks of an investment in the Exchange Shares and determined that the Exchange Shares are a suitable investment for Investor and that Investor is able at this time and in the foreseeable future to bear the economic risk of a total loss of Investor's investment in the Issuer. Investor acknowledges specifically that a possibility of total loss exists.

Any such notice shall be provided for informational purposes only and shall not be deemed a representation or warranty by Strive as to the final number of Exchange Shares issuable, which shall be determined at Closing in accordance with the terms hereof. Strive reserves the right to correct any clerical or computational errors and to adjust such calculation to reflect any changes in the underlying data and applicable exchange rates. Failure to deliver such notice within the specified period shall not constitute a breach of this Exchange Agreement unless such failure materially and adversely affects the Investor.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.1.4 Once Strive reasonably determines that all conditions to the Closing of the Transactions are expected to be satisfied, Strive shall deliver to the Investor a written notice (the "**Closing Notice**") specifying the date on which the Closing is expected to occur (the "**Expected Closing Date**"). The Closing Notice shall be delivered no later than two (2) Business Days prior to the Expected Closing Date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.1.5 If the Transactions are not consummated on or prior to the fifth (5th) Business Day after the Expected Closing Date, Strive and the Issuer agree that the Bitcoin Consideration shall be returned to Investor to an address specified by Investor on their signature page hereto. Notwithstanding such return, (i) a failure to close on the Expected Closing Date shall not, by itself, be deemed to be a failure of any of the conditions to Closing set forth in this Section 3 to be satisfied or waived on or prior to the Closing Date, and (ii) Investor shall remain obligated (A) to redeliver the Bitcoin Consideration instructed by Strive following Strive's delivery to Investor of a written notice and (B) to consummate the Closing upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth in this Section 3.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.1.6 At or promptly after the Closing, upon satisfaction (or, if applicable, waiver) of the conditions set forth in this Section 3, the Issuer shall deliver to Investor the Exchange Shares in book entry in the name of Investor (or its nominee in accordance with its delivery instructions) or to a custodian designated by Investor, as applicable. For purposes of this Exchange Agreement, "**Business Day**" means any day that, in New York, New York, is neither a legal holiday nor a day on which banking institutions are generally authorized or required by law or regulation to close.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.1.7 If any Investor fails to satisfy the requirements set forth in 3.1.1 or to deliver the Bitcoin Consideration in accordance with Section 3.1.2, Strive may provide written notice to such Investor describing such failure. If such failure is not cured within three (3) Business Days following delivery of such notice (or such longer period as Strive may agree in writing), Strive may, in its sole discretion and without liability to such Investor, terminate such Investor's rights and obligations under this Exchange Agreement (including the right to receive any Exchange Shares), delay or defer the Closing with respect to such Investor, or pursue any other remedies available at law or in equity.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.2 Conditions to Closing of the Issuer. The Issuer's obligations
to issue the Exchange Shares in exchange for the Bitcoin Consideration at or promptly after the Closing are subject to the fulfillment
or (to the extent permitted by applicable law) written waiver by Strive, on or prior to the Closing Date, of each of the following conditions:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.2.1 Representations and Warranties Correct. The representations and warranties made by Investor in Section 2.1 hereof shall be true and correct in all material respects when made (other than representations and warranties that are qualified as to materiality or Investor Material Adverse Effect, which representations and warranties shall be true and correct in all respects), and shall be true and correct in all material respects on and as of the Closing Date (unless they specifically speak as of another date in which case they shall be true and correct in all material respects as of such date) (other than representations and warranties that are qualified as to materiality or Investor Material Adverse Effect, which representations and warranties shall be true in all respects) with the same force and effect as if they had been made on and as of said date, but in each case without giving effect to consummation of the Transactions.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.2.2 Compliance with Covenants. Investor shall have performed, satisfied and complied in all material respects with the covenants, agreements and conditions required by this Exchange Agreement to be performed, satisfied or complied with by Investor at or prior to the Closing.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.2.3 Closing of the Transactions. All conditions precedent to the Issuer's and Strive's obligations to consummate, or cause to be consummated, the Transactions set forth in the Merger Agreement shall have been satisfied or waived by the party entitled to the benefit thereof under the Merger Agreement (other than those conditions that may only be satisfied at the consummation of the Transactions, but subject to satisfaction or waiver by such party of such conditions as of the consummation of the Transactions), and the Transactions will be consummated immediately following the Closing.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.2.4 Legality. There shall not be in force any order, judgment, injunction, decree, writ, stipulation, determination or award, in each case, entered by or with any governmental authority, statute, rule or regulation enjoining or prohibiting the consummation of the Exchange.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.2.5 Exchange Cap; Shareholder Approval. The Issuer shall have obtained shareholder approval as required by the applicable rules of Nasdaq for the issuance of all of the Exchange Shares in excess of the Exchange Cap.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.3 Conditions to Closing of Investor. Investor's obligation
to purchase the Exchange Shares at the or promptly after the Closing is subject to the fulfillment or (to the extent permitted by applicable
law) written waiver by Investor, on or prior to the Closing Date, of each of the following conditions:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.3.1 Representations and Warranties Correct. The representations and warranties made by the Issuer in Section 2.3 hereof and Strive in Section 2.4 hereof shall be true and correct in all material respects when made (other than representations and warranties that are qualified as to materiality, Issuer Material Adverse Effect or Strive Material Adverse Effect, which representations and warranties shall be true and correct in all respects), and shall be true and correct in all material respects on and as of the Closing Date (unless they specifically speak as of another date in which case they shall be true and correct in all material respects as of such date) (other than representations and warranties that are qualified as to materiality, Issuer Material Adverse Effect or Strive Material Adverse Effect, which representations and warranties shall be true and correct in all respects) with the same force and effect as if they had been made on and as of said date, but in each case without giving effect to consummation of the Transactions; provided, that in the event this condition would otherwise fail to be satisfied as a result of a breach of one or more of the representations and warranties of the Issuer contained in this Exchange Agreement and the facts underlying such breach would also cause a condition to Strive's obligations under the Merger Agreement to fail to be satisfied, this condition shall nevertheless be deemed satisfied in the event Strive waives such condition with respect to such breach under the Merger Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.3.2 Compliance with Covenants. The Issuer and Strive shall have performed, satisfied and complied in all material respects with the covenants, agreements and conditions required by this Exchange Agreement to be performed, satisfied or complied with by the Issuer and Strive at or prior to the Closing, except where the failure of such performance or compliance would not or would not reasonably be expected to prevent, materially delay, or materially impair the ability of the Issuer to consummate the Closing.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.3.3 Closing of the Transactions. (i) All conditions precedent to the consummation of the Transactions set forth in the Merger Agreement shall have been satisfied or waived by the party entitled to the benefit thereof under the Merger Agreement (other than those conditions that may only be satisfied at the consummation of the Transactions, but subject to satisfaction or waiver by such party of such conditions as of the consummation of the Transactions), (ii) no amendment or modification of the Merger Agreement (as the same exists on the date hereof as provided to the Investor) shall have occurred that would reasonably be expected to materially and adversely affect the economic benefits that the Investor would reasonably expect to receive under this Exchange Agreement without having received Investor's prior written consent (it being understood that the issuance of high-vote common stock to direct or indirect shareholders of Strive shall not be considered as having such a material and adverse effect) and (iii) the Transactions will be consummated immediately following the Closing.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.3.4 Exchange Cap; Shareholder Approval. The Issuer shall have obtained shareholder approval as required by the applicable rules of Nasdaq for the issuance of the Exchange Shares in excess of the Exchange Cap.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.3.5 Nasdaq. The Issuer shall have filed with Nasdaq a Listing of Additional Shares notice form for the listing of the Exchange Shares and shall not have received any objection to such notice from Nasdaq.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.3.6 Legality. There shall not be in force any order, judgment, injunction, decree, writ, stipulation, determination or award, in each case, entered by or with any governmental authority, statute, rule or regulation enjoining or prohibiting the transactions contemplated by this Exchange Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.3.7 Transfers. Strive's existing investor rights agreement shall be amended to include a customary market stand-off provision that binds the parties thereto effective immediately following the consummation of the Transactions until the date that is thirty (30) days following the Effectiveness Date of the Registration Statement (as defined below).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4. Registration Statement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4.1 The Issuer agrees that, within 30 calendar days after the
consummation of the Transactions (the "**Filing Date** "), the Issuer will file with the Commission (at the Issuer's
sole cost and expense) a registration statement for a shelf registration on Form S-3 or Form S-1 (or a prospectus supplement pursuant
to an existing registration statement on such forms) (such registration statement or prospectus supplement, the "**Registration Statement**") registering the resale of the Exchange Shares that are eligible for registration (determined as of two Business
Days prior to such filing) (the "**Registrable Securities** "), and the Issuer shall use its commercially reasonable efforts
to have the Registration Statement declared effective as soon as practicable after the filing thereof, but no later than the earlier
of (i) the 45 th calendar day (or 120 th calendar day
if the Commission notifies the Issuer that it will "review" the Registration Statement) following the Closing and (ii) the
10th Business Day after the date the Issuer is notified (orally or in writing, whichever is earlier) by the Commission that the Registration
Statement will not be "reviewed" or will not be subject to further review (such earlier date, the "**Effectiveness Date** "); provided, however, that the Issuer's obligations to include the Registrable Securities in the Registration
Statement are contingent upon Investor furnishing a completed and executed selling shareholders questionnaire in customary form to the
Issuer that contains the information required by Commission rules for a Registration Statement regarding Investor, the securities of
the Issuer held by Investor and the intended method of disposition of the Registrable Securities (which shall be limited to non-underwritten
public offerings) to effect the registration of the Registrable Securities, and Investor shall execute such documents in connection with
such registration as the Issuer may reasonably request that are customary of a selling stockholder in similar situations, including providing
that the Issuer shall be entitled to postpone and suspend the effectiveness or use of the Registration Statement during any customary
blackout or similar period or as permitted hereunder. The Issuer will provide a draft of the Registration Statement to Investor at least
2 Business Days in advance of the date of filing the Registration Statement with the Commission. For purposes of clarification, any failure
by the Issuer to file the Registration Statement by the Filing Date or to effect such Registration Statement by the Effectiveness Date
shall not otherwise relieve the Issuer of its obligations to file or effect the Registration Statement as set forth above in this Section
4. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Commission prevents the Issuer from including any or all of the Exchange Shares proposed to
be registered under the Registration Statement due to limitations on the use of Rule 415 of the Securities Act for
the resale of the Exchange Shares by the applicable stockholders or otherwise, such Registration Statement shall register for resale
such number of Shares which is equal to the maximum number of Shares as is permitted by the Commission. In such event, the number of
Shares to be registered for each selling stockholder named in the Registration Statement shall be reduced pro rata among all such selling
stockholders. Unless required under applicable laws and Commission rules, in no event shall the Investor be identified as a statutory
underwriter in the Registration Statement; provided, that if the Investor is required to be so identified as a statutory underwriter
in the Registration Statement, the Investor will have an opportunity to withdraw its Registrable Securities from the Registration Statement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4.2 In the case of the registration effected by the Issuer pursuant
to this Exchange Agreement, the Issuer shall, upon reasonable request, inform Investor as to the status of such registration. At its
expense the Issuer shall:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4.2.1 except for such times as the Issuer is permitted hereunder to suspend the use of the prospectus forming part of a Registration Statement, use its commercially reasonable efforts to keep such registration, and any qualification, exemption or compliance under state securities laws which the Issuer determines to obtain, continuously effective with respect to Investor, and to keep the applicable Registration Statement or any subsequent shelf registration statement free of any material misstatements or omissions, until the earlier of the following: (i) Investor ceases to hold any Registrable Securities, (ii) the date all Registrable Securities held by Investor may be sold without restriction under Rule 144, including without limitation, any volume and manner of sale restrictions which may be applicable to affiliates under Rule 144 and without the requirement for the Issuer to be in compliance with the current public information required under Rule 144(c)(1) (or Rule 144(i)(2), if applicable) and (iii) three years from the date of effectiveness of the Registration Statement;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4.2.2 advise Investor as promptly as possible:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) when the Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto has become effective;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) after it shall have received notice or obtained knowledge thereof, of the issuance by the Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness the Registration Statement or the initiation of any proceedings for such purpose;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) of the receipt by the Issuer of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of the Registrable Securities included therein for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) subject to the provisions in this Exchange Agreement, of the occurrence of any event that requires the making of any changes in the Registration Statement or any prospectus so that, as of such date, the statements therein are not misleading and do not omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of a prospectus, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, the Issuer shall not, when so advising Investor of such events, provide Investor with any material, non-public information regarding the Issuer other than to the extent that providing notice to Investor of the occurrence of the events listed in (a) through (d) above constitutes material, non-public information regarding the Issuer;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4.2.3 use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement as soon as reasonably practicable;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4.2.4 upon the occurrence of any event contemplated in Section 4.2.2(d), except for such times as the Issuer is permitted hereunder to suspend, and has suspended, the use of a prospectus forming part of the Registration Statement, use its commercially reasonable efforts to as soon as reasonably practicable prepare a post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement or a supplement to the related prospectus, or file any other required document so that, as thereafter delivered to purchasers of the Registrable Securities included therein, such prospectus will not include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4.2.5 use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause all Shares to be listed on each securities exchange or market, if any, on which the Issuer's Class A common stock is then listed.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4.3 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Exchange Agreement, the Issuer shall be entitled to delay or postpone the effectiveness
of the Registration Statement, and from time to time to require Investor not to sell under the Registration Statement or to suspend the
effectiveness thereof, if the filing, effectiveness or continued use of any Registration Statement would require the Issuer to make any
public disclosure of material non-public information, which disclosure, in the good faith determination of the board of directors of the
Issuer, after consultation with counsel to the Issuer, (a) would be required to be made in any Registration Statement in order for the
applicable Registration Statement not to contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to
make the statements contained therein not misleading, (b) would not be required to be made at such time if the Registration Statement
were not being filed, and (c) the Issuer has a *bona fide* business purpose for not making such information public (each
such circumstance, a "**Suspension Event** "); provided, however, that the Issuer may not delay or suspend the
Registration Statement on more than two occasions or for more than ninety (90) consecutive calendar days, or more than one hundred and
fifty (150) total calendar days, in each case during any twelve-month period. Upon receipt of any written notice from the Issuer of the
happening of any Suspension Event during the period that the Registration Statement is effective or if as a result of a Suspension Event
the Registration Statement or related prospectus contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact
required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made (in
the case of the prospectus) not misleading, Investor agrees that (i) it will immediately discontinue offers and sales of the Exchange
Shares under the Registration Statement until Investor receives copies of a supplemental or amended prospectus (which the Issuer agrees
to promptly prepare) that corrects the misstatement(s) or omission(s) referred to above and receives notice that any post-effective amendment
has become effective or unless otherwise notified by the Issuer that it may resume such offers and sales, and (ii) it will maintain the
confidentiality of any information included in such written notice delivered by the Issuer except (A) for disclosure to the Investor's
employees, agents and professional advisers who need to know such information and are obligated to keep it confidential, (B) for disclosures
to the extent required in order to comply with reporting obligations to its limited partners who have agreed to keep such information
confidential and (C) as required by law. If so directed by the Issuer, Investor will deliver to the Issuer or, in Investor's sole
discretion destroy, all copies of the prospectus covering the Exchange Shares in Investor's possession; provided, however,
that this obligation to deliver or destroy all copies of the prospectus covering the Exchange Shares shall not apply (i) to the extent
Investor is required to retain a copy of such prospectus (a) in order to comply with applicable legal, regulatory, self-regulatory or
professional requirements or (b) in accordance with a bona fide pre-existing document retention policy or (ii) to copies stored electronically
on archival servers as a result of automatic data back-up.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4.4 If the Exchange Shares are eligible to be sold pursuant to
an effective Registration Statement, then at Investor's request in connection with a transfer of the Exchange Shares, the Issuer
will cause its transfer agent to remove the legend set forth in Section 2.1.6.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5. Termination. This Exchange Agreement shall terminate and
be void and of no further force and effect, and all rights and obligations of the parties hereunder shall terminate without any further
liability on the part of any party in respect thereof, upon the earlier to occur of (i) such date and time as the Merger Agreement is
validly terminated in accordance with its terms, (ii) upon the mutual written agreement of each of the parties hereto to terminate this
Exchange Agreement and (iii) the date that is twelve (12) months from the date of this Exchange Agreement; provided, that nothing
herein will relieve any party from liability for any willful breach hereof prior to the time of termination, and each party will be entitled
to any remedies at law or in equity to recover losses, liabilities or damages arising from such breach. The Issuer shall promptly notify
Investor of the termination of the Merger Agreement promptly after the termination of such agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6. Equal Treatment of Investor. No consideration (including
any modification of this Exchange Agreement or the Exchange Shares) shall be offered or paid to any Person to amend or consent to a waiver
or modification of any provision of this Exchange Agreement, the Other Exchange Agreements or the Exchange Shares unless the same consideration
is also offered to all of the parties to this Exchange Agreement and the Other Exchange Agreements. For clarification purposes, this
provision constitutes a separate right granted to the Investor and each Other Investor by the Company and negotiated separately by the
Investor and each Other Investor, and is intended for the Company to treat the Investor and each Other Investor as a class and shall
not in any way be construed as the Investor and each Other Investor acting in concert or as a group with respect to the purchase, disposition
or voting of Exchange Shares or otherwise. For the avoidance of doubt, the two immediately preceding sentences shall not restrict the
ability of the Company or the Issuer to issue primary capital on market terms after the date hereof in their sole discretion.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7. Tax Treatment. The parties intend that, for U.S. federal
income tax purposes, the transfer by each Investor of the Bitcoin Consideration in exchange for the Exchange Shares, taken together with
the Transactions, constitute a transaction described in Section 351(a) of the Code. The parties agree that Exchange Offer will be undertaken
for the business purpose of providing the Investor with a way of contributing its Bitcoin to a corporation that the parties agree will
be better able to manage and utilize the Bitcoin. Each of the parties (and their respective affiliates) shall, unless otherwise required
by law (x) prepare and file all tax returns in a manner consistent with such treatment and (y) take no position in any tax return, proceeding,
audit or otherwise that is inconsistent with such treatment. None of the parties (nor any of their respective affiliates) shall take
or cause to be taken any action (or fail to take or cause to take any action) that would reasonably be expected to adversely affect the
treatment of the Exchange Offer as described in this section.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;8. Miscellaneous.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;8.1 Further Assurances. At the Closing, the parties hereto shall
execute and deliver such additional documents and take such additional actions as the parties reasonably may deem to be practical and
necessary in order to consummate the Exchange as contemplated by this Exchange Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;8.1.1 Investor acknowledges that Strive and the Issuer will rely on the acknowledgments, understandings, agreements, representations and warranties made by Investor contained in this Exchange Agreement. Prior to the Closing, Investor agrees to promptly notify Strive and the Issuer if any of the acknowledgments, understandings, agreements, representations and warranties set forth herein are no longer accurate in all material respects.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;8.1.2 Each of Stive, the Issuer and Investor is entitled to rely upon this Exchange Agreement and is irrevocably authorized to produce this Exchange Agreement or a copy hereof to any interested party in any administrative or legal proceeding or official inquiry with respect to the matters covered hereby.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;8.1.3 Strive may request from Investor such additional information as Strive may deem necessary to evaluate the eligibility of Investor to acquire the Exchange Shares, and Investor shall provide such information as may be reasonably requested, to the extent within Investor's possession and control or otherwise readily available to Investor; provided that Strive agrees to keep any such information confidential except to the extent required to be disclosed by applicable law.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;8.1.4 Each of Investor, Strive and the Issuer shall pay all of its own expenses in connection with this Exchange Agreement and the transactions contemplated herein. No expenses incurred by the Investor or on its behalf in connection with the Exchange Offer will be paid or assumed by the Company or any third party unless those expenses are solely and directly related to the Exchange Offer in compliance with Section 351 of the Code (determined in accordance with the guidelines set forth in Rev. Rul. 73-54, 1973-1 C.B. 187) ("**351 Expenses**"), and no cash or property, other than the Exchange Shares will be transferred to the Investor with the intention that it be used to pay any expenses, including 351 Expenses.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;8.1.5 Each of Investor, Strive and the Issuer shall take, or cause to be taken, all actions and do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Exchange Agreement on the terms and conditions described therein no later than immediately prior to the consummation of the Transactions.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;8.2 Notices. Any notice or communication required or permitted
hereunder shall be in writing and either delivered personally, emailed or sent by overnight mail via a reputable overnight carrier, or
sent by certified or registered mail, postage prepaid, and shall be deemed to be given and received (i) when so delivered personally,
(ii) when sent, with no mail undeliverable or other rejection notice, if sent by email, or (iii) three (3) Business Days after the date
of mailing to the address below or to such other address or addresses as such person may hereafter designate by notice given hereunder:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;8.3 Entire Agreement. This Exchange Agreement constitutes the entire agreement, and supersedes all other prior agreements, understandings,
representations and warranties, both written and oral, among the parties, with respect to the subject matter hereof, including any commitment
letter entered into relating to the subject matter hereof.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;8.4 Modifications and Amendments. This Exchange Agreement may not be amended, modified, supplemented or waived except by an instrument
in writing, signed by each of (x) Strive and (y) Investor and other Investors representing a majority in interest of the Exchange Shares; provided that
any rights (but not obligations) of a party under this Exchange Agreement may be waived, in whole or in part, by such party on its own
behalf without the prior consent of any other party; provided further that any amendment that (i) disproportionately affects the Investor
or an Other Investor materially and adversely as it relates to the Investor and Other Investors as a whole unless Investor has been offered
that same benefit, or (ii) increases the exchange price or decreases the number of the Exchange Shares that Investor is acquiring pursuant
to this Exchange Agreement or otherwise increases the liability profile of the Investor with respect to this Exchange Agreement or the
Exchange Shares the Investor is acquiring hereunder, in each case shall require the consent of such Investor or Other Investor.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;8.5 Assignment. Neither this Exchange Agreement nor any rights, interests or obligations that may accrue to the parties hereunder (including
Investor's rights to purchase the Exchange Shares) may be transferred or assigned without the prior written consent of the other
parties hereto (other than the Exchange Shares acquired hereunder, if any, and then only in accordance with this Exchange Agreement); provided,
that Investor's rights and obligations hereunder may be assigned to any fund or account managed by the same investment manager as
Investor, without the prior consent of Strive, provided, that such assignee(s) agrees in writing to be bound by the terms hereof,
and upon such assignment by a Investor, the assignee(s) shall become Investor hereunder and have the rights and obligations and be deemed
to make the representations and warranties of Investor provided for herein to the extent of such assignment; provided, further,
that, no assignment shall relieve the assigning party of any of its obligations hereunder, including any assignment to any fund or account
managed by the same investment manager as Investor.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;8.6 Benefit.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;8.6.1 Except as otherwise provided herein, this Exchange Agreement shall be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their heirs, executors, administrators, successors, legal representatives, and permitted assigns, and the agreements, representations, warranties, covenants and acknowledgments contained herein shall be deemed to be made by, and be binding upon, such heirs, executors, administrators, successors, legal representatives and permitted assigns. This Exchange Agreement shall not confer rights or remedies upon any person other than the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;8.7 Governing Law. This Exchange Agreement, and any claim or cause of action hereunder based upon, arising out of or related to this Exchange
Agreement (whether based on law, in equity, in contract, in tort or any other theory) or the negotiation, execution, performance or enforcement
of this Exchange Agreement, shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the Laws of the State of New York, without giving effect
to the principles of conflicts of law thereof.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;8.8 Consent to Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial. Each of the parties irrevocably consents to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of
any court of the State of New York located in the Borough of Manhattan or the United States District Court for the Southern District of
New York (together, the "**Chosen Courts** "), in connection with any matter based upon or arising out of this Exchange
Agreement. Each party hereby waives, and shall not assert as a defense in any legal dispute, that (i) such person is not personally subject
to the jurisdiction of the Chosen Courts for any reason, (ii) such legal proceeding may not be brought or is not maintainable in the Chosen
Courts, (iii) such person's property is exempt or immune from execution, (iv) such legal proceeding is brought in an inconvenient
forum or (v) the venue of such legal proceeding is improper. Each party hereby consents to service of process in any such proceeding in
any manner permitted by New York law, further consents to service of process by nationally recognized overnight courier service guaranteeing
overnight delivery, or by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, at its address specified pursuant to Section 8.2 and
waives and covenants not to assert or plead any objection which they might otherwise have to such manner of service of process. Notwithstanding
the foregoing in this Section 8.8, a party may commence any action, claim, cause of action or suit in a court other than the Chosen
Courts solely for the purpose of enforcing an order or judgment issued by the Chosen Courts. TO THE EXTENT NOT PROHIBITED BY APPLICABLE
LAW WHICH CANNOT BE WAIVED, EACH OF THE PARTIES WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY ON ANY CLAIMS OR COUNTERCLAIMS ASSERTED IN ANY LEGAL
DISPUTE RELATING TO THIS EXCHANGE AGREEMENT WHETHER NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ARISING. IF THE SUBJECT MATTER OF ANY SUCH LEGAL DISPUTE
IS ONE IN WHICH THE WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL IS PROHIBITED, NO PARTY SHALL ASSERT IN SUCH LEGAL DISPUTE A NONCOMPULSORY COUNTERCLAIM ARISING
OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS EXCHANGE AGREEMENT. FURTHERMORE, NO PARTY SHALL SEEK TO CONSOLIDATE ANY SUCH LEGAL DISPUTE WITH A SEPARATE
ACTION OR OTHER LEGAL PROCEEDING IN WHICH A JURY TRIAL CANNOT BE WAIVED.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;8.9 Severability. If any provision of this Exchange Agreement shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality or enforceability
of the remaining provisions of this Exchange Agreement shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby and shall continue in full
force and effect.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;8.10 No Waiver of Rights, Powers and Remedies. No failure or delay by a party hereto in exercising any right, power or remedy under this
Exchange Agreement, and no course of dealing between the parties hereto, shall operate as a waiver of any such right, power or remedy
of such party. No single or partial exercise of any right, power or remedy under this Exchange Agreement by a party hereto, nor any abandonment
or discontinuance of steps to enforce any such right, power or remedy, shall preclude such party from any other or further exercise thereof
or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy hereunder. The election of any remedy by a party hereto shall not constitute a waiver
of the right of such party to pursue other available remedies. No notice to or demand on a party not expressly required under this Exchange
Agreement shall entitle the party receiving such notice or demand to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances
or constitute a waiver of the rights of the party giving such notice or demand to any other or further action in any circumstances without
such notice or demand.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;8.11 Remedies.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;8.11.1 The parties agree that irreparable damage would occur if this Exchange Agreement was not performed or the Closing is not consummated in accordance with its specific terms or was otherwise breached and that money damages or other legal remedies would not be an adequate remedy for any such damage. It is accordingly agreed that the parties hereto shall be entitled to equitable relief, including in the form of an injunction or injunctions, to prevent breaches or threatened breaches of this Exchange Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Exchange Agreement in an appropriate court of competent jurisdiction as set forth in Section 8.8, this being in addition to any other remedy to which any party is entitled at law or in equity, including money damages. The right to specific enforcement shall include the right of the parties hereto to cause the other parties hereto to cause the transactions contemplated hereby to be consummated on the terms and subject to the conditions and limitations set forth in this Exchange Agreement. The parties hereto further agree (i) to waive any requirement for the security or posting of any bond in connection with any such equitable remedy, (ii) not to assert that a remedy of specific enforcement pursuant to this Section 8.11 is unenforceable, invalid, contrary to applicable law or inequitable for any reason and (iii) to waive any defenses in any action for specific performance, including the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;8.11.2 The parties acknowledge and agree that this Section 8.11 is an integral part of the transactions contemplated hereby and without that right, the parties hereto would not have entered into this Exchange Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;8.12 Survival of Representations and Warranties. All representations and warranties made by the parties hereto in this Exchange Agreement
shall survive the Closing. For the avoidance of doubt, if for any reason the Closing does not occur prior to the consummation of the Transactions,
all representations, warranties, covenants and agreements of the parties hereunder shall survive the consummation of the Transactions
and remain in full force and effect.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;8.13 No Broker or Finder. Each of the Issuer and Investor agrees to indemnify and hold the other parties hereto harmless from any claim
or demand for commission or other compensation by any broker, finder, financial consultant or similar agent claiming to have been employed
by or on behalf of such party and to bear the cost of legal expenses incurred in defending against any such claim.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;8.14 No Liability. The Investor agrees that Strive shall not be liable to it (including in contract, tort, under federal or state securities
laws or otherwise) for any action heretofore or hereafter taken or omitted to be taken by any of them in connection with the offering,
escrow, storage and/or the return of the Bitcoin Consideration to Investor in accordance with the terms of this Exchange Agreement. On
behalf of the Investor and its affiliates, the Investor releases Strive in respect of any losses, claims, damages, obligations, penalties,
judgments, awards, liabilities, costs, expenses or disbursements related to the Exchange Offer. The Investor agrees not to commence any
litigation or bring any claim against Strive in any court or any other forum which relates to, may arise out of, or is in connection with,
the offering. This undertaking is given freely and after obtaining independent legal advice.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;8.15 Headings and Captions. The headings and captions of the various subdivisions of this Exchange Agreement are for convenience of reference
only and shall in no way modify or affect the meaning or construction of any of the terms or provisions hereof.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;8.16 Counterparts. This Exchange Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, all of which when taken together shall be considered
one and the same agreement and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to the other party,
it being understood that the parties need not sign the same counterpart. In the event that any signature is delivered by facsimile transmission
or any other form of electronic delivery, such signature shall create a valid and binding obligation of the party executing (or on whose
behalf such signature is executed) with the same force and effect as if such signature page were an original thereof.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;8.17 Construction. The words "*include*," "*includes*," and "*including*" will be deemed
to be followed by "*without limitation*." Pronouns in masculine, feminine, and neuter genders will be construed to include
any other gender, and words in the singular form will be construed to include the plural and vice versa, unless the context otherwise
requires. The words "*this Exchange Agreement*," "*herein*," "*hereof*," "*hereby*,"
" *hereunder*," and words of similar import refer to this Exchange Agreement as a whole and not to any particular subdivision
unless expressly so limited. The parties hereto intend that each representation, warranty, and covenant contained herein will have independent
significance. If any party hereto has breached any representation, warranty, or covenant contained herein in any respect, the fact that
there exists another representation, warranty or covenant relating to the same subject matter (regardless of the relative levels of specificity)
which such party hereto has not breached will not detract from or mitigate the fact that such party hereto is in breach of the first representation,
warranty, or covenant. All references in this Exchange Agreement to numbers of shares, per share amounts and purchase prices shall be
appropriately adjusted to reflect any stock split, stock dividend, stock combination, recapitalization or the like occurring after the
date hereof.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;8.18 Mutual Drafting. This Exchange Agreement is the joint product of the parties hereto and each provision hereof has been subject to
the mutual consultation, negotiation and agreement of the parties and shall not be construed for or against any party hereto.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;8.19 Non-Reliance. Investor acknowledges that it is not relying upon, and has not relied upon, any statement, representation or warranty
made by any person, firm or corporation (including, without limitation, Strive, any of its affiliates or any of their respective control
persons, officers, directors or employees), other than the representations and warranties of the Issuer expressly set forth in this Exchange
Agreement, in making its investment or decision to invest in the Issuer. Investor agrees that neither (i) any other Investor pursuant
to this Exchange Agreement or any other agreement related to the offering of the Exchange Shares (including the controlling persons, officers,
directors, partners, agents or employees of any such Investor) nor (ii) Strive, its affiliates or any of their respective control persons,
officers, directors, partners, agents or employees shall be liable to any other Investor pursuant to this Exchange Agreement or any other
agreement related to the offering of the Exchange Shares for any action heretofore or hereafter taken or omitted to be taken by any of
them in connection with the purchase of the Exchange Shares hereunder.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;8.20 Rule 144. From and after such time as the benefits of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act or any other
similar rule or regulation of the Commission that may allow Investor to sell securities of the Issuer to the public without registration
are available to holders of the Issuer's common stock and until the third anniversary of the Closing Date, the Issuer agrees to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;8.20.1 make and keep public information available, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;8.20.2 file with the Commission in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of the Issuer under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act so long as the Issuer remains subject to such requirements and the filing of such reports and other documents is required for the applicable provisions of Rule 144; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;8.20.3 furnish to Investor, promptly upon request, (x) a written statement by the Issuer, if true, that it has complied with the reporting requirements of Rule 144, the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, (y) a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the Issuer and such other reports and documents so filed by the Issuer and (z) such other information as may be reasonably requested to permit Investor to sell such securities pursuant to Rule 144 without registration.

If the Exchange Shares are eligible to be sold without restriction under, and without the Issuer being in compliance with the current public information requirements of, Rule 144 under the Securities Act, then at Investor's request, the Issuer will cause its transfer agent to remove the legend set forth in Section 2.1.6. In connection therewith (including sales pursuant to Rule 144), if required by the Issuer's transfer agent and subject to delivery of a customary letter of representation from the Investor, the Issuer will promptly cause an opinion of counsel to be delivered to and maintained with its transfer agent, together with any other authorizations, certificates and directions required by the transfer agent that authorize and direct the transfer agent to issue such Shares without any such legend; provided, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, Issuer will not be required to deliver any such opinion, authorization, certificate or direction if it reasonably believes that removal of the legend could result in or facilitate transfers of securities in violation of applicable law.
