News Explained

Houdini is now an operating, activity-based revenue line, but its reported scale remains subject to overlapping partner-defined metrics.

After its acquisition on June 1, 2026, Houdini completed its first full month under SOL Strategies; the company now reports a transactional revenue line whose stated basis is user activity rather than SOL's price.

Houdini is described as non-custodial, meaning it routes transactions without holding user funds, and its routing is intended to break the on-chain link between sender and receiver.

The reported operating figures are preliminary and unaudited; because the underlying figures are partner-reported, with differing definitions and potentially significant overlap, they do not establish one non-overlapping measure of activity.

Key Terms

ebitda, non-custodial, cross-chain swap aggregator
3 terms
ebitda financial
"Houdini generated approximately $740k CAD in EBITDA"
EBITDA stands for earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization. It measures a company's profitability by focusing on the money it makes from its core operations, ignoring expenses like taxes and accounting adjustments. Investors use EBITDA to compare how well different companies are performing financially, as it provides a clearer picture of operational success without the influence of financial structure or accounting choices.
View in glossary
non-custodial technical
"the non-custodial, privacy-focused cross-chain swap aggregator"
Non-custodial means that individuals have full control over their own assets without relying on a third party to hold or manage them. Think of it like keeping your money in your own wallet instead of a bank’s safe deposit box; you are responsible for safeguarding and using your assets directly. For investors, this offers greater privacy and control, but also requires more responsibility for security.
cross-chain swap aggregator technical
"privacy-focused cross-chain swap aggregator the Company acquired"
A cross-chain swap aggregator is a software service that finds the easiest, cheapest route to exchange one digital asset for another across different blockchains, bundling together multiple intermediary steps so the user gets a single, smoother transaction. For investors it matters because it can lower trading costs and reduce price slippage while expanding access to liquidity, but it also introduces extra technical and smart‑contract risks tied to the bridges and services it uses.

(CSE: HODL) (NASDAQ: STKE) ("SOL Strategies" or the "Company"), a digital asset infrastructure company focused on high-performance blockchain and privacy technologies, today reported preliminary, unaudited figures from the first month of operating Houdini Swap ("Houdini"), the non-custodial, privacy-focused cross-chain swap aggregator the Company acquired on June 1, 2026.

Figures are partner-reported, definitions differ and overlap across partners may be significant

"Being able to capture value during market volatility is key to sustained revenue generation regardless of underlying asset movements," said Michael Hubbard, Chief Executive Officer of SOL Strategies. "That's why we bought Houdini. People value privacy, keeping their net worth out of transaction data and seamlessly accessing tokens across 120+ blockchain networks. With Houdini, users are able to direct what information they share with the world, while unlocking liquidity and access across blockchain ecosystems. The focus on B2B expansion through partnerships with Jumper and Terminal are deliberate and show strong velocity for the product with key industry players."

The Company also announced the appointment of Aktiencheck as its Investor Relations representative focused on building awareness of the Company in Germany, commencing on or about August 1, 2026. The Company will pay Aktiencheck 25,000 Euros for a three month engagement with an option to extend. Aktiencheck is independent of the Company.
