Asset Entities quickly extends decline, shares down 22%

Asset Entities Inc. (ASST) saw its shares fall by 22% on Friday, September 2, 2025, amid uncertainty surrounding the company's upcoming merger with Strive Enterprises. The decline follows a week of market anticipation leading up to the critical shareholder vote scheduled for September 9, 2025.

The merger, which was declared effective by the SEC on August 22, 2025, would see Asset Entities become a Bitcoin treasury. However, the vote is crucial as it requires a simple majority of 51% to pass. Currently, the board has secured approximately 40% of the vote in favor of the merger, leaving a need for an additional 11% from shareholders to push the deal through.

Despite the merger's potential benefits, including a significant revaluation of shares and the company's transition into a Bitcoin treasury, the market remains cautious. The company's financials, while showing signs of growth, are still modest. For the first half of 2025, the company reported revenue of $344,000, up 58% year over year, but operating expenses remain high, with a total of $2.87 million spent in the same period.

The uncertainty surrounding the merger vote has led to a decline in shareholder confidence, pushing the stock down significantly. If the merger fails to gain approval, Asset Entities will remain a small-scale marketing company with a limited cash reserve, potentially putting significant pressure on the stock.

Investors should keep an eye on the upcoming shareholder vote, as the outcome will significantly impact the company's future trajectory and share price. The merger, if approved, would position Asset Entities as one of the top 100 corporate Bitcoin treasuries, potentially leading to a substantial increase in share value. Historically, however, ASST has exhibited mixed performance following shareholder meetings, with short-term volatility and limited upside. A backtest of past events reveals that the stock has posted a 3-day average return of -1.75%, a 10-day average of -0.50%, and a 30-day average of 0.00%, with win rates of 25%, 37.5%, and 43.75% respectively. These results underscore the unpredictable nature of ASST’s price action in the immediate aftermath of corporate governance events, emphasizing the need for caution and close monitoring of the September 9 vote.
