Nasdaq-listed Solana Company ticker: HSDT, formerly Helius Medical Technologies announced it has accumulated over 2.2 million SOL tokens, valued at approximately $515 million at current prices of around $234 per SOL, plus $15 million in cash reserves—for a total “war chest” nearing $530 million.
This positions the firm as one of the largest corporate holders of SOL and underscores a accelerating trend of public companies integrating Solana into their balance sheets as a strategic treasury asset.
2.2 million+ SOL acquired via ongoing purchases since a September private placement that raised funds for digital asset accumulation. The total exceeds the gross proceeds from that raise, signaling aggressive deployment of capital.

Backed by Pantera Capital with Cosmo Jiang as a board observer, the company is focusing on “maximizing shareholder value” through SOL staking and DeFi yields. This mirrors Bitcoin maximalist Michael Saylor’s approach at MicroStrategy but tailored to Solana’s high-throughput ecosystem.
The update follows a September 22 disclosure of an initial 760,190 SOL purchase worth $167 million, showing rapid scaling amid SOL’s price stability and network growth. This move isn’t isolated—it’s part of a broader corporate pivot toward Solana for its speed up to 65,000 TPS, low fees <$0.01 per transaction, and staking yields around 6-8% APY.
Public firms now hold ~3.44 million SOL collectively, worth over $1.2 billion as of August 2025, with adoption surging in Q4. Solana is emerging as the go-to alt-layer-1 for enterprise treasuries, outpacing Ethereum in scalability while offering Bitcoin-like “digital gold” appeal through yield generation.
These firms represent a shift from Bitcoin/Ethereum dominance, with Solana’s infrastructure enabling real-world use cases like dApps, payments, and tokenized assets. Institutional tailwinds include:Grayscale’s SOL Trust (GSOL): Staking enabled on October 6, potentially unlocking U.S. spot SOL ETFs 16 deadlines in October.
Asia-Pacific Interest: Growing inflows, with stablecoin supply on Solana hitting $13.7B. 7,600+ active developers; $283B ecosystem market cap; $26B trading volume up 4% weekly.
SOL rose 3.57% to ~$235 on the news, eyeing a 56% rebound to $300+ if it breaks $251 resistance. Analysts cite this as a “bullish confirmation” of institutional confidence. Concentrated holdings could amplify volatility, but staking mitigates downside by generating yields. Regulatory clarity remains key.
With Bitcoin ETFs mature, altcoin infrastructure like Solana is next—offering differentiation via utility and returns. A Solana degenerate Odogwupete noted, “Solana isn’t a narrative, it’s an economy.” This “war chest” signals Solana’s maturation into mainstream infrastructure, potentially reshaping corporate crypto strategies.
By allocating significant capital to SOL, firms are diversifying away from traditional assets (e.g., cash, bonds) into high-yield crypto assets, leveraging Solana’s ~6-8% staking APY for passive income.
The strategy, akin to MicroStrategy’s Bitcoin playbook, aims to boost shareholder value through capital appreciation and DeFi yields. This could set a precedent for other public companies, especially those with exposure to tech or blockchain, to adopt SOL as a treasury asset.
Concentrated SOL holdings introduce volatility risks, but staking mitigates downside by generating consistent returns. However, firms face regulatory and market risks if SOL’s price corrects or if crypto regulations tighten.
The announcement drove SOL’s price up 3.57% to ~$235, with potential to hit $300+ if resistance at $251 is breached. Large corporate buys signal bullish sentiment, likely attracting more institutional and retail interest.
With ~3.44M SOL $1.2B+ held by public firms, corporate demand could reduce circulating supply, potentially stabilizing or boosting SOL’s price over time. However, coordinated sell-offs could trigger volatility.
Grayscale’s SOL Trust enabling staking and looming U.S. spot SOL ETF deadlines 16 in October could amplify institutional inflows, further legitimizing SOL as an asset class and driving price appreciation.
Solana’s high throughput 65,000 TPS, low fees <$0.01, and developer ecosystem 7,600+ active developers make it a preferred blockchain for corporate use cases like dApps, payments, and tokenized assets. Firms like VisionSys AI and DeFi Development Corp are leveraging Solana for operational efficiency and innovation.
Companies adopting SOL early gain a first-mover advantage in the blockchain economy, potentially attracting partnerships with DeFi platforms like Marinade Finance or institutional backers like Pantera Capital, Galaxy Digital, or Jump Crypto.
Solana Company’s “war chest” could inspire a wave of corporate SOL adoption, similar to Bitcoin’s corporate treasury trend in 2020-2021. This may shift capital allocation norms, especially for tech-forward firms.
Corporate backing validates Solana’s ecosystem, which boasts a $283B market cap, $13.7B stablecoin supply, and $26B trading volume. Increased adoption could accelerate dApp development, DeFi activity, and real-world use cases.
Strong APAC interest and institutional inflows suggest Solana’s appeal is global, potentially positioning it as a leading alt-layer-1 blockchain over Ethereum for enterprise applications.
Corporate SOL accumulation reflects confidence in crypto as a hedge against inflation and a bet on blockchain’s role in the future economy. It also highlights a shift from Bitcoin/Ethereum dominance to altcoins with superior utility.
Solana Company’s $530M SOL war chest and the broader corporate adoption trend signal Solana’s emergence as a cornerstone of the blockchain economy. This move could catalyze price appreciation, ecosystem growth, and institutional validation, but it also introduces risks tied to volatility and regulation.
Matrica Reveals DM.fun as Jupiter Introduces Desktop Wallet
Matrica Labs, a key player in Solana’s Web3 infrastructure for NFT verification, token-gating, and community management, has just launched DM.fun—a social platform designed as a Telegram alternative tailored for Solana ecosystems.
Announced around October 6, 2025, this protocol emphasizes instant, on-chain verified chats for holders of any Solana token, addressing common pain points like fake identities and low engagement in traditional messaging apps.
Users can join exclusive chat rooms by proving ownership of specific Solana tokens or NFTs in real-time, leveraging Solana’s speed for seamless access without bots or manual checks.
Direct buy/sell functionality within chats, integrated with Solana DEXs, making it easier for communities to discuss and execute trades on the fly.
Engagement Tools: Includes “raid” mechanics for coordinated community actions, whale role assignments for large holders, and chat boosts to amplify visibility and participation—ideal for meme coins, DeFi projects, and DAOs.
Built on Solana’s low-cost, high-throughput network for real-time interactions, with cross-chain support in Matrica’s existing toolkit for broader compatibility.
This launch builds on Matrica’s established base, which already serves over 1,000 communities with tools like Discord/Telegram gating and NFT voting. It’s a step toward on-chain social experiences, potentially boosting token liquidity and project growth in Solana’s vibrant meme and DeFi scenes.
Early buzz highlights its potential to reduce scams by enforcing verifiable ownership, though success will depend on adoption and robust security audits.
