• Solana Company stock dropped 22% after private investors began selling newly eligible shares.
• The firm is shifting from medical devices to holding and staking SOL tokens as its core treasury strategy.
• Solana Company holds 2.2 million SOL, making it the second-largest public holder of the Solana blockchain token.

Solana Company, which used to be called Helius Medical Technologies, has embarked on a significant business paradigm change. The Nasdaq-listed firm filed the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission Form S-3. This registration allows for future securities offerings tied to its new digital asset treasury strategy.

As part of the move, the company finalized a resale registration that permits private investors to sell shares acquired during a prior funding round. This filing enabled early investors from the September private placements to begin selling shares. On the same day resale became effective, the stock saw a sharp decline.

Sharp Market Reaction to Share Resale

Shares of Solana Company opened at $8.92 but closed at $6.87, marking a 22% drop within a single trading session. The steep sell-off coincided with private-placement shares becoming eligible for resale. Trading volume also surged significantly, rising from below 1 million shares to 4.6 million in one day.

Over the past week, nearly 60% of the company’s market value has been erased. This volatility reflects the uncertainty surrounding the firm’s shift from a medical device company to a digital asset-focused treasury.

Strategic Pivot to Solana-Based Assets

Solana Company is focused on accumulating SOL, the native token of the Solana blockchain. It aims to build its treasury by acquiring SOL and generating yield through staking. This strategy is part of a broader plan to create public-market access to crypto-linked investments.

The company secured $500 million in September through dual private placements. One portion of the investment was in cash, and the other was in SOL tokens. Major crypto-focused investment firms, including Pantera Capital and Summer Capital, participated in the funding round. Recently, Sharps Technology partnered with Coinbase to expand its Solana treasury strategy, acquiring over 2 million SOL tokens worth $400 million.

With 2.2 million SOL tokens in its treasury, Solana Company is now the second-largest publicly listed holder of SOL. The tokens support the Solana network, which enables decentralized applications and staking infrastructure.

Long-Term Vision Amid Market Volatility

The company’s leadership says it will continue accumulating SOL during market dislocations. It aims to increase the SOL per share over time while offering a regulated investment vehicle tied to blockchain assets.

By allowing resale now instead of delaying, the firm intends to show transparency and long-term confidence. Its strategy shifts price discovery from crypto token holders to equity investors, using its Nasdaq listing to offer broader exposure to digital assets.

Solana Company continues to position itself as a bridge between traditional finance and blockchain-based asset management.
