Helius Executes First Solana Treasury Purchase as Shares Fall 16%

The NASDAQ-listed firm now holds 760,190 SOL at a $231 cost basis with more than $335 million earmarked for further accumulation.

Overview

  • Helius acquired 760,190 SOL to initiate its Solana-focused digital asset treasury.
  • The company reported an average purchase price of $231 per token, valuing the position near $168 million.
  • Management framed the plan as a long-term SOL holding strategy supported by on-chain yield and ecosystem growth.
  • HSDT shares fell roughly 16% on the disclosure after jumping last week on the treasury financing news.
