- Sol Strategies as well as Upexi and DeFi Development Corp have included Solana into their financial assets.
- Such firms bring stakes further than ownership into execution because they maintain validators to generate yearly revenue exceeding millions.
- The strategic implementation of Solana (SOL) has resulted in an astonishing price increase of 3,800%, which demonstrates growing investor interest.
In a sign of growing institutional interest in blockchain infrastructure, a handful of publicly traded companies are incorporating Solana (SOL) into their treasury strategies, using the high-performance cryptocurrency as both a reserve asset and a source of network participation.
Publicly traded firms Sol Strategies Inc., Upexi Inc., and DeFi Development Corp are proving a trend through their actions which demonstrate SOL being used beyond investment purposes to create long-term value.
Sol Strategies Ties Growth to Solana Ecosystem
Sol Strategies Inc. (CSE: HODL, OTCQX: CYFRF) changed its operations to focus on Solana during September 2024 after it ceased being known as Cypherpunk Holdings. Inside its portfolio of SOL tokens the company holds more than 142,000 SOL while controlling 1.7 million SOL through validator nodes and independent validator delegations. Staking activities at Q4 2024 produced annual revenue of $13.8 million for the company.
The Company obtained $500 million from convertible notes together with a $25 million credit line through Sol Strategies during April 2025 to expand its SOL holdings and infrastructure. Following its rebrand Sol Strategies experienced a remarkable stock increase of 3,807% while pursuing a Nasdaq stock market listing.Sol Strategies creates a combined approach that brings together asset accumulation methods alongside direct participation within the ecosystem.
Upexi Shifts Capital to Solana Staking
Upexi Inc. revealed in April 2025 its plans to utilize most of its $100 million capital increase for SOL acquisition and staking activities. The transition by Upexi into cryptocurrency-based treasury operations represents a major shift in management strategy since the company operates outside the traditional technology and crypto industry framework. The stock prices experienced an initial 860% spike during the trading day, eventually returning to a 335% gain before the 24-hour trading period concluded.
Public Firms Embrace Active Blockchain Strategies
Following its rename into DeFi Development Corp (formerly Janover) the company launched a parallel strategy in April. These institutional crypto investors contributed $42 million through their investments in Pantera Capital and Kraken while the company now maintains control over more than 163,000 SOL.
The company operates validator nodes and has a registered $1 billion for acquisitions while serving as a facilitator of further acquisitions. The stock market reacted positively after news broke with an 883% increase that brought the stock price to $79.50.
These treasury strategies demonstrate that public firms pursue blockchain network exposure through means beyond passive investment. MicroStrategy made this purchasing model famous with Bitcoin but today numerous firms use Solana assets to generate yields and operate validators.
