Pham Benjamin 4

What Happened
Benjamin Pham, Chief Financial Officer of Strive, Inc. (ASST), made two open‑market purchases (code P) of the company's Class A common stock. On 2026-02-17 he acquired 7,900.286 shares at a weighted average price of $8.23 for a reported cost of $65,000, and on 2026-02-18 he acquired 6,213.837 shares at a weighted average price of $8.06 for a reported cost of $50,095. Combined, these purchases total 14,114.123 shares for $115,095. These are purchases (a buy), which insiders sometimes view as a positive signal but can also be routine.

Context

• These were straightforward open‑market purchases (not option exercises, gifts, or awards). Footnotes indicate multiple executions at slightly different prices; the filing offers to provide the per‑trade breakdown if requested. Purchases by executives can attract attention as potential insider confidence signals, but this filing is factual and does not state the insider’s motivation.
