Forward Industries Files $4 Billion ATM to Expand Solana Treasury

The flexible program signals plans to scale its Solana holdings using incremental share sales through Cantor Fitzgerald.

Overview

  • The SEC filing enables open‑market share sales under an automatic shelf, with proceeds designated for Solana purchases, working capital, and income‑generating assets.
  • Cantor Fitzgerald is named as sales agent for the offering, which Yahoo Finance reports carries a 3% fee.
  • FORD shares fell roughly 7% to 10% in early trading after the announcement, reflecting investor concern about dilution.
  • Earlier this month, Forward acquired about 6.82 million SOL using a $1.65 billion private raise led by Galaxy Digital, Jump Crypto, and Multicoin Capital.
  • Analysts note the company’s roughly $3.1 billion market capitalization makes a full $4 billion issuance unlikely, though substantial execution could lift publicly held SOL totals.
