Solana treasury investment
Last week, Galaxy, Jump Crypto, and Multicoin Capital led a $1.65 billion private placement in Nasdaq-listed Solana digital asset treasury company Forward Industries (FORD). The private placement closed on Thursday with the three companies collectively subscribing over $300 million.
Galaxy and the other two companies announced that they will provide Forward Industries with capital and strategic support, with the overall goal of positioning the Solana treasury strategy as the foremost publicly traded institutional participant in the Solana ecosystem.
Lookonchain has drawn a connection between Galaxy's Solana acquisition and Forward Industries, but whether that relationship is verifiable is still uncertain. The Block has reached out to Galaxy for further comment.
Meanwhile, Mike Novogratz, CEO of Galaxy, recently noted that the crypto market is entering a "season of Solana," pointing to strong market momentum and favorable regulatory signals.
Solana is down 2.18% in the past 24 hours to trade at $241.18 as of 10:00 p.m. on Sunday, according to The Block's SOL price page.
