Re:Asset Entities Inc./Registration Statement on Form S-1

 

Ladies and Gentlemen:

 

We have acted as special Nevada counsel to Asset Entities Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), in connection with the registration by the Company of up to 512,920 shares (the “Shares”) of its Class B Common Stock (the “Common Stock”) on Form S-1 (the “Registration Statement”), as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) as of the date hereof in accordance with the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).

 

Of the 512,920 Shares, (a) up to 482,120 of the Shares (the “Conversion Shares”) are issuable upon the conversion of the Company’s Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, $0.0001 par value per share (the “Series A Preferred Stock”) and (b) up to 30,800 of the Shares (the “Placement Agent Warrant Shares”) are issuable upon the exercise of a certain warrant (the “Placement Agent Warrant”).

 

For purposes of these opinions, we have examined originals or copies, certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction, of:

 

(a) the Registration Statement;

 

(b) the Articles of Incorporation of the Company as filed with the Secretary of State of Nevada on March 9, 2022, including the Certificate of Designation of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Certificate of Designation”) as filed with the Secretary of State of Nevada on May 24, 2024, and amended by a Certificate of Amendment to Designation as filed with the Secretary of State of Nevada on June 14, 2024 (collectively with the Certificate of Designation, the “Series A Designation”), and the Certificate of Change as filed with the Secretary of State of Nevada on June 27, 2024;

 

(c) the Bylaws of the Company as adopted on March 9, 2022;

(d) the Securities Purchase Agreement dated May 24, 2024, as amended by the First Amendment to Securities Purchase Agreement dated June 13, 2024, pursuant to which the Series A Preferred Stock was issued;

 

(e) the Placement Agent Warrant; and

 

(f) certain resolutions and actions of the Board of Directors of the Company relating to the issuance of the Series A Preferred Stock and the Placement Agent Warrant and registration of the Shares under the Securities Act, and such other matters as relevant.

 

We have obtained from officers and agents of the Company and from public officials, and have relied upon, such certificates, representations, and assurances as we have deemed necessary and appropriate for purposes of rendering this opinion letter. We have also examined such other corporate documents, records, certificates, and instruments (collectively with the documents identified in (a) through (f) above, the “Documents”) as we deem necessary or advisable to render the opinions set forth herein.

 

In our examination, we have assumed:

 

(a) the legal capacity of all natural persons executing the Documents;

 

(b) the genuineness of all signatures on the Documents;

 

(c) the authenticity of all Documents submitted to us as originals, and the conformity to original documents of all Documents submitted to us as copies;

 

(d) that the parties to such Documents, other than the Company, had the power, corporate or other, to enter into and perform all obligations thereunder;

 

(e) other than with respect to the Company, the due authorization by all requisite action, corporate or other, of the Documents;

 

(f) the execution, delivery, and performance by all parties of the Documents; and

 

(g) that all Documents are valid, binding, and enforceable against the parties thereto.

 

We have relied upon the accuracy and completeness of the information, factual matters, representations, and warranties contained in such Documents. We note that the Company has reserved, and assume that it will continue to reserve, sufficient authorized shares of its Common Stock to allow for the issuance of the Shares.
