Galaxy Digital, Multicoin Capital, and Jump Crypto are seeking to raise $1 billion to acquire Solana (SOL). If successful, the effort would establish the largest corporate treasury dedicated to the token to date.

According to Bloomberg, the three firms plan to acquire a publicly traded company and convert it into a dedicated digital asset treasury vehicle, with Cantor Fitzgerald serving as lead banker. 

The initiative, which has reportedly received support from the Solana Foundation, is expected to close in early September 2025.

Announced on the same day, Sharps Technology said it priced an over-$400 million private placement aimed at building its own Solana-focused treasury strategy. The Nasdaq-listed company said the plan would involve purchasing SOL both on the open market and directly from the Solana Foundation at a discount.

Investors in the Sharps placement include ParaFi, Pantera, FalconX, Republic Digital, CoinFund, Arrington Capital and other digital asset institutions. The transaction is scheduled to close later in August, subject to customary conditions.

Combined, the two efforts represent a potential $1.4 billion influx into Solana markets, significantly larger than existing treasuries held by companies such as Upexi — worth close to $400 million at current prices — and DeFi Development Corporation, valued near $240 million.

IREN closed a transformative capital raise in December, issuing $2.3B in convertible notes alongside a $1.6B equity offering while retiring dilutive legacy converts. The company's full-stack model sets it apart from colocation peers, with the Microsoft contract illustrating the premium economics of owning the entire stack from power to GPUs rather than simply leasing rack space. IREN's 3GW portfolio of grid-connected power positions it as a critical supplier to capacity-constrained hyperscalers, with management guiding to 85% project EBITDA margins and payback periods significantly shorter than traditional colocation models. Near-term catalysts include additional hyperscaler deals at Sweetwater, progress on GPU financing, and potential expansion into Oklahoma as the power scarcity thesis continues to play out.
