Solana Shatters Records: $4 Billion Now Held in Corporate Treasury Reserves

Solana's corporate adoption hits unprecedented levels as treasury reserves surge past the $4 billion mark—establishing new institutional credibility while traditional finance scrambles to keep pace.

Institutional Validation Accelerates

Major corporations are bypassing legacy systems, funneling billions into Solana's high-speed blockchain. The move signals a seismic shift in how enterprises manage and grow their reserves—opting for transparency and yield over traditional, low-return instruments.

Market Momentum Builds

Active treasury strategies now leverage Solana's low fees and near-instant settlements, cutting out intermediaries that have long dominated corporate finance. This isn't just diversification; it's a direct challenge to the status quo.

Finance Traditionalists Grumble—But Adapt

Sure, some Wall Street veterans will call it reckless—right before quietly allocating their own funds. Because nothing inspires change like the fear of missing out while competitors rake in returns.

In brief

• Strategic Solana reserves reach $4.03 billion with 17.11 million SOL tokens held by companies.
• Forward Industries leads the race with 6.8 million SOL valued at $1.61 billion.
• These reserves represent nearly 3% of Solana’s circulating supply, i.e., more than 600 million tokens.

Corporate treasuries betting on Solana

The latest figures published Tuesday by Strategic solana Reserve, the reserve tracking tool, confirm a strong trend: corporate treasuries linked to Solana now hold 17.11 million SOL tokens, worth more than 4 billion dollars at the current rate. 

This represents nearly 3% of the circulating supply, valued at over 600 million tokens. Forward Industries alone accounts for the largest share, with 6.8 million SOL, valued at $1.61 billion.

Behind this giant, other actors are also standing out: Sharps Technology, DeFi Development Corp., and Upexi, each having accumulated about 2 million SOL, amounting to more than 400 million dollars. 

This institutional frenzy is not new. As early as September, Forward Industries announced the creation of its strategic reserve, supported by heavyweights such as Galaxy Digital, Multicoin Capital, and Jump Crypto. Shortly after, Galaxy acquired $306 million worth of SOL in a single day.

The momentum continued with the arrival of Helius Medical Technologies, which established a reserve of $500 million. These initiatives illustrate a clear point: corporate treasuries now consider Solana a credible strategic reserve, akin to Bitcoin or Ethereum.

Sol, between market lag and strategic opportunity

Solana still shows a significant lag compared to its elders. bitcoin dominates with 3.71 million BTC in treasury, representing $428 billion, which is 17% of its total supply. 

Ethereum is not far behind: companies hold nearly 5 million ETH valued at more than $22 billion, a figure rising to $30 billion including ETFs.

Yet, these gaps tell only part of the story. Technically, Solana clearly outpaces Ethereum with 2,600 transactions per second compared to about fifteen for its competitor. Almost zero fees and a staking yield of 6.8% (versus 3% for Ethereum) increase its attractiveness.

This superiority is already attracting institutional giants. PayPal selected Solana to build the infrastructure for its stablecoin, a resounding validation of the network’s strength. 

In the same spirit, the agreement with the fintech R3 paves the way for strategic partnerships with leading players like HSBC, Bank of America, and the Monetary Authority of Singapore.

The institutional bet on Solana therefore does not rest solely on its technical performance. It expresses a deeper conviction: the idea that performance and innovation will ultimately prevail over precedence. 

With already $4 billion accumulated in corporate treasuries, Solana crosses a major psychological threshold and confirms its status as a next-generation blockchain, now taken seriously by the biggest players.
