Solana: $1.65B treasury play
The biggest headline comes from Solana. Forward Industries, a Nasdaq-listed firm, announced a $1.65B private PIPE financing in cash and stablecoins to launch a Solana treasury strategy. Partners include major funds and crypto-native backers, with Multicoin’s Kyle Samani joining Forward’s board as chairman.
This marks the largest Solana-focused treasury initiative to date, signaling that corporate treasuries are now treating SOL as a reserve-grade asset.
