Negative

• Short-term volatility may flush out retail holders
• Potential dilution from warrant exercises or future offerings

Insights

Corporate Strategist

Registration for resale and stated staking plans increase transparency but create short-term liquidity pressure.

HSDT elected to make its resale registration effective and thereby allow private‑placement shares to trade. That decision converts privately held supply into public float and clarifies the company’s capital base and access to institutional investors.

The move carries immediate execution risks: increased selling pressure could push the market price below stated net asset value and test the company’s claim to be an accumulation vehicle. The company’s stated ability to generate 7%+ yield through institutional staking and to purchase SOL during dislocations are factual claims in the message; their realization depends on operational execution, regulatory constraints, and market conditions.

Watch near-term indicators over the next few days or weeks: public float change after the resale effectiveness, observed trading versus net asset value, any filings updating the resale registration, and reported staking yields. These items will determine whether the registration achieves the stated goal of a more committed shareholder base.

Crypto Asset Manager

Effective resale registration increases liquidity and transparency but may cause short-term NAV/price disconnects.

Solana treasury strategy centers on accumulating SOL per share, institutional‑grade staking, and opportunistic buys during market dislocations. The company frames the resale registration as a mechanism to reach market equilibrium and attract institutional capital.

Key operational dependencies include realizing the claimed 7%+ staking yield, executing disciplined capital allocation, and converting access to capital into incremental SOL holdings. The letter explicitly warns of price pressure and positions that as a feature that will remove weaker holders.

Concrete items to monitor in the coming days or weeks: published staking performance versus the claimed 7%+, updates to share counts or outstanding float, and any disclosures about purchases of SOL funded by new capital. These milestones will materially affect whether the strategy produces the intended accretion per share.

NEWTOWN, Pa., Oct. 20, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Today, Solana Company (NASDAQ: HSDT) released the following letter from the Executive Chairman:

We are excited to enter the next phase of our lifecycle with a strong capital base and expanded accessibility for investors.

This week will be remembered as a foundational moment for Solana Company (NASDAQ: HSDT). We have made the deliberate choice to move forward with our scheduled registration for resale of the shares purchased by investors in the recent private placement rather than delay it. Whereas some of our peers have decided to postpone it at the first sign of market volatility, we want to explain why we made this decision and why we feel it positions us for long-term success.

Transparency in Volatile Markets

Markets can be volatile, and digital asset treasury companies will continue to experience volatility with the broader macro market.

In this next phase, with the resale registration statement effective, HSDT will be one of the largest effective market cap Solana DATs and therefore a strong investible option for institutional investors looking for exposure to Solana. Since we have launched the Solana treasury, we have opened up a new menu of capital providers and capital raise opportunities. That’s why we believe it’s appropriate to reach market equilibrium now rather than postpone the inevitable. The pressure on our stock price that comes with the effectiveness of the resale registration statement will likely shake out weak hands, but we believe this will also establish a remaining foundation of committed long-term shareholders. We're delivering for our investors by registering their shares on time and leaving the choice in the hands of our investors, where it belongs. That's what good stewardship looks like.

If HSDT trades below its net asset value in the coming days or weeks, understand what that means: investors can buy one dollar of Solana for less than a dollar. HSDT is committed to doing the right thing to maximize shareholder value.

Our Conviction

This strategy demonstrates the conviction in Solana that we share with our shareholders. We plan to continue to demonstrate how HSDT can be an active accumulation vehicle that acquires more SOL per share than investors can achieve on their own. We believe we can generate 7%+ yield through sophisticated institutional-grade staking not accessible to individual investors. We also intend to leverage the capital markets to acquire additional Solana. Most importantly, we expect to deploy capital strategically during market dislocations.

This is precisely where our vehicle will differentiate itself. We believe we have the right team of leaders and advisors. When the non-believers are flushed out, HSDT can continue to accrete Solana per share. We can buy aggressively when others are fearful. We believe we can compound Solana per share holdings through disciplined capital allocation.

Looking Ahead

This week may test your conviction. However, we are confident that disciplined investors who understand our strategy will one day look back on this period as an inflection point. We’re attempting to build the Berkshire Hathaway of the Solana ecosystem – a vehicle that compounds shareholder value and trades at a premium, with a strong balance sheet, a clear strategy, and the expertise of a team that is experienced with DATs and is shareholder-aligned with meaningful ownership. Our success is intertwined with Solana's success, which is why we're committed to actively contributing to ecosystem growth.

We're playing the long game, and we're inviting you to join us. We're playing offense, not defense. Thank you for your trust and partnership.

– Joseph Chee, Executive Chairman
