SOL STRATEGIES MAY 2026 MONTHLY BUSINESS UPDATE
SOL Strategies closes acquisition of Houdini Swap, reports Q2 2026 financials, and appoints Jon Matonis as Board Chairman
TORONTO, June 3, 2026 - SOL Strategies Inc. (CSE: HODL) (NASDAQ: STKE) ("SOL Strategies" or the "Company"), a digital asset infrastructure company focused on high performance blockchain and privacy technologies, today shared a corporate update for the month of May 2026.
Houdini Swap Acquisition Closed: On June 1, 2026, SOL Strategies closed its previously announced acquisition of HoudiniSwap LLC ("Houdini"), a non-custodial, privacy-focused cross-chain swap aggregator, for a total purchase price of USD $18 million, payable in a combination of cash and common shares. Houdini has processed approximately $2.5 billion in cumulative swap volume since launch and generated approximately USD $13 million in revenue in 2025. The platform maintains integrations with 32 exchange partners, including Jupiter and Solflare on the Solana network.
The cash component of the acquisition was financed through decentralized finance protocols on Solana using the Company's balance sheet, without selling treasury SOL. Full terms are available in the Company's press release here.
With the close, Houdini is now part of SOL Strategies' platform, adding established transactional revenue, multi-chain routing across more than 100 blockchain networks, and an experienced team.

Management Commentary
Michael Hubbard, CEO of SOL Strategies, stated: "Closing Houdini was the headline, but what we're really looking at is a business that's been generating real revenue for years, $13 million in 2025 and $2.5 billion in cumulative volume, now operating inside our platform. We funded it without touching treasury SOL. Q2 results showed validator and staking reach continued to grow with the launch of our liquid staking token, STKESOL, and Jon Matonis joining as Chairman adds genuine depth in financial cryptography at a moment when that background is going to count. We're heading into the second half of 2026 with more revenue diversity than we've had at any point in our history, and the fundamentals underneath that are sound."
