Video summary

The video documents a significant recovery for Strive Asset Management (ASST) stock, which has rebounded from a low of 81 cents seven months ago to a current price around $23 to $24 per share. This dramatic turnaround follows a controversial 20:1 reverse split designed to raise the stock price above the $5 threshold required for Nasdaq listing, thereby avoiding delisting and relegation to over-the-counter markets. The speaker notes that long-term holders who were previously victims of what they describe as a coordinated and illegal short attack are now "made whole," with many seeing their investments increase by approximately 50% since the split and achieving gains well beyond their original cost basis. A central theme of the discussion is the potential political motivation behind the intense selling pressure, which the speaker terms a "blue swan" event—a rare occurrence driven by politics rather than market fundamentals. The narrative highlights that Vivek Ramaswamy, a principal at Strive and a candidate for the Ohio gubernatorial race, has a strong connection to the company, leading to speculation that shorting the stock could be an attempt to damage his political career. This context is reinforced by the fact that the CEO, Matthew Ryan Cole, has never sold his shares and recently made a substantial purchase of nearly half a million shares at 92 cents each, signaling strong internal confidence in the company's future despite external volatility. The speaker also points to positive developments from institutional analysts, noting that Maxim Group initiated coverage with a buy recommendation in December 2025, suggesting that true believers remain active in the market. While acknowledging the inherent risks of holding such a volatile asset, particularly the danger of the stock falling below the $5 threshold post-split, the presenter argues that ASST represents a reasonable alternative for holding Bitcoin within retirement accounts compared to other options like SATA. The video concludes with a cautious optimism, linking the stock's potential success to a broader rally in Bitcoin and a rotation away from AI infrastructure stocks, while urging viewers to conduct their own due diligence before making investment decisions.

Okay, this is MXUX. This is a video I did on another channel I have called Black Monday, which you can check out. I was experimenting with AI video generation, seeing what the response would be. This is about the reverse split on ASST Strive stock. And the thing is uh the long-term bag holders and victims of a vicious coordinated and I feel illegal short attack, which I understand the SEC is going into investigations. I hope they look into this. I made a video on the shorting of ASST called uh Shortzilla, who's who's shorting uh Strive uh ASST stock. And you can look at that video, and it goes into detail. I'm not going to go into the detail of the the the players behind all this. But anyway, here's the point. Uh those of us who were I proudly say a bag holder at 81 cents, we have been made whole. Not only have we been made whole, we are actually up on our holdings. Uh I believe we're going to go through the price in a minute here. I believe uh Strive is about um 23 a share now. So, we've gone back uh 7 months ago. So, we are even. We're even. And we are even over even. We are green. Okay? So, uh on the 81 cents, let's play a bit of this recording. Okay, I'm going to play the AI video for you now. This is details on the reverse split. Um we are holders are up on our pre-split price by 50% and um we've got about uh a 10x on the current price to get way back up uh to get totally even. I think that's completely completely possible. So, >> [clears throat] >> let me play this for you. Again, generated via I did this with AI. So, take a look. Okay, I'm going to play this video for you now. This is AI generated. This is on my other channel here, Black Monday. As you can see, not many subscribers. This is 7 months ago this was made. And again, I think that uh we've we've been made whole, the holders, and we are up from our sub $1 price of the stock. And we've got good momentum. We're green. And um we've got to do about a 10x from here to get totally back. Uh but I personally think that is you know, quite possible. Uh if we have a Bitcoin rally, I think I think that can happen. Uh hopefully um uh the SEC will start investigating these things. So, let me just put this on here. And uh you guys can uh take a listen to this. It's very short, but has a lot of information. Strive stock just announced a 20:1 reverse split. This means that for every 100 shares post split, you will have five shares valued at $16 a share post split. The current price of the stock is 82 cents. Theoretically, this split will circumvent restrictions on buying stocks priced below $5. Hopefully, the new higher priced listing will not fall below this $5 threshold. That would be catastrophic. A blue swan short attack is a real risk here. Usually, this type of reverse split is used to keep the stock listed on Nasdaq. Falling below $1 for an extended period will get a stock delisted and relegated to the over-the-counter exchange. Strive does not define this as a desperation move, but technically anyway, it is one. This is an extreme measure used to raise the stock price. Make no mistake, there is a high risk of loss here. The stock price, if forced down after the split below $5, is the worst-case scenario. >> This stock has broken the rules of financial physics. By all normal evaluations and metrics, it should be trading in the $20 range. No debt, strong management, a top three public Bitcoin holder. The 2026 Ohio gubernatorial race is heating up with Republican Vivek Ramaswamy, who is a principal with Strive. It is easy to see a political weaponization of trading shorting this stock to damage his political career. This is defined as a blue swan, like a black swan event, but purely political. On January 14th, 2026, Strive's chief executive officer, Matthew Ryan Cole, made a $459,350 buy of ASST, purchasing 500,000 shares at a cost of 92 cents each. Cole obviously is sending a signal with this buy, and he's actually never sold Strive shares to date. Can Strive beat the blue swan short attack with this strategy. Fintel reports that on December 10th, 2025, Maxim Group initiated coverage of Strive Asset Management with a buy recommendation. So, there are true believers here as well. Strive is undoubtedly the riskiest Nasdaq bet today. Realize it may result in a calamitous loss. This video is educational, not financial advice to buy, sell, or hold Strive. Always consult a professional before making any investment. Confirm any information presented here with your own research. Catastrophic losses can and do occur. Good luck in the market, and thank you for watching the first film on the Black Monday channel. Please comment. What do you think about Strive stock? >> Okay, so here we are at today's price. And as I said through my avatar in the AI video, $20 was a fair price. We're now at 24. That's the close. I think that's including after market. And we've gotten an alert by Nasdaq. ASST is a high technical rating by Nasdaq by Nasdaq Dorsey Wright. So, uh you can look um you know, uh Nvidia has one, Palantir has one, so forth. So, that's a that's a that's a pretty big deal to me. That's a pretty big deal to me, the alert. Um and here's the price. Now, as we know, there's been a lot of drama with um Monster uh and I call MSTR um selling, and I did some videos on that as well. But uh I think anyone that's with the stabilization of this stock, and let's just take a look at the one-month chart here. Uh there we go. You see? How about that? We are green. All right? Let's see. No problem. Um the point is There we go. We looks like we're holding up. We got some selling here, but not too bad. Uh the point is uh this I think even with and I am not a financial advisor and I am not giving financial advice here. Do your own DD. Verify all this information. I think this is a reasonable way to hold Bitcoin in a retirement account or whatever. That's just my opinion, okay? And then you have SATA. There are other uh options that uh is a 12% uh preferred and it pays interest daily. Uh so you can, you know, when ASL you can sell at highs here and put it in SATA and then when it dips take it out of SATA and buy. But anyway, the point is this is an alternative to sailor uh for Bitcoin and um Matt Houlihan. You can see my other videos. I think he's got a great background. He's a pension guy. So, anyway we are up um Let's see. We were at 16. So we got four, eight. We are up eight 33. So bag holders, we are up 50%. Okay? From the day of the reverse split. So, we have been made whole and our stock has momentum and is moving in the right direction. Now, let's see if a Bitcoin uh goes along with us. I think we're waiting for that Bitcoin bill out of Congress and all that mess. Um also the um Iran's but um you know, we could be on the precipice of a crash regarding AI stocks, infrastructure and uh you know could be a rush to Bitcoin, rotation. We're going to have to see. So, anyway, I think uh this is some uh rough justice here for us uh long-term holders of ASST. Just wanted to put this out there. Uh I think uh it says a lot about the uh the CEO's been buying all along, never sold shares as as the video said. So, they're our true believers and uh I'm not going to get into the specifics here, but they just bought a bunch of of Bitcoin. Uh they even did a I think I believe they issued some stock. So, this is a very uh very strong showing for ASST. Let's hope it keeps up. This is MXUX. Good luck in the market. >> [music]
