Overview
- Fitell executed the purchase on October 1 and announced it on October 2, adding 216.8 million PUMP tokens to its corporate treasury.
- The move follows a late-September buy of 46,144 SOL for about $10 million, funded by a convertible facility of up to $100 million that earmarks roughly 70% of net proceeds for crypto acquisitions.
- The company is repositioning as a Solana-focused vehicle with plans to rebrand to Solana Australia Corporation and pursue a dual listing on the ASX.
- Management aims to deploy SOL and PUMP holdings into DeFi structured-yield strategies, including options and on-chain liquidity provisioning.
- FTEL shares fell about 8% after the announcement and have shown extreme recent volatility, highlighting investor skepticism toward the pivot.
