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.

Research

HIP-3 has successfully scaled market creation on Hyperliquid, but it has not yet created a sustainable competitive deployer layer. Growth mode, USDH depreciation, high auction costs, and the 500K HYPE stake have made the model increasingly difficult for non-TradeXYZ deployers, leaving market creation concentrated around one clear outlier. We look at why deployer participation has slowed, what that means for HIP-3’s long-term design, and how tiered exchanges or temporary auction-fee relief could make smaller and more niche markets economically viable.
