The move marks the company’s first major step after closing a $1.65 billion private investment in public equity (PIPE) financing led by Galaxy Digital (GLXY), Jump Crypto, and Multicoin Capital.

The initial batch of Solana was acquired through both open-market buys and on-chain transactions. The firm stated that one of the trades, valued at $1 million, was executed via DFlow, a decentralized exchange aggregator designed for Solana applications, with liquidity routed through SolFi. The purchase leaves the company with about $70 million from its PIPE raise still uncommitted.
