Sol Strategies, formerly known as Cypherpunk Holdings, has announced plans to list on the Nasdaq after a staggering 2,336% rise in its share value since July on the Canadian Securities Exchange, where it trades under the HODL ticker.
This decision reflects a crucial stage in the evolution of the company, which is focusing on the adoption and development of the Solana ecosystem, leaving behind its historic commitment to Bitcoin.
Leah Wald, who took over as CEO in July, highlighted the benefits of pursuing a dual listing on both the Nasdaq and the Canadian market. According to Wald, this strategy will not only improve the liquidity of the shares, but will also “ensure that our stock is more accessible to investors in multiple markets.”

In addition, he added that the listing on Nasdaq will increase the visibility of the brand and open the doors to a broader investor base.
A strategic change towards Solana
Sol Strategies’ turn towards Solana is evident. Since its last financial report, the company has significantly increased its commitment to this blockchain ecosystem. He currently holds over 142,000 SOL tokens valued at 46 million Canadian dollars (32 million US dollars). Additionally, it has acquired four additional validators on Solana, consolidating its role in the network.
Staking has also become a key pillar of its strategy. Sol Strategies has delegated around one million SOL tokens, valued at over $300 million, to its fleet of active validators. This represents a determined move toward maximizing the utility of your assets and generating additional income.
“The decision to sell Bitcoin was aligned with our strategic pivot towards the Solana ecosystem,” Wald explained. Proceeds from the sale of its once-significant BTC reserve were reinvested into SOL and associated infrastructure, highlighting its faith in Solana’s scalability and development activity as key drivers for blockchain adoption.
From Cypherpunk to a new horizon
As Cypherpunk Holdings, the company initially made history by being one of the first public companies to offer exposure to Bitcoin for investors looking to avoid directly holding cryptocurrencies. However, the current accessibility of Bitcoin through exchanges and derivative products caused the company to rethink its approach. Today, the transition to Solana is marking a new chapter.
“Our mission represents resilience and a long-term vision,” Wald said, referring to both the meaning behind its HODL ticker and the company’s goals. Sol Strategies has also reduced its portfolio of venture capital investments, valued at C$442,000, to focus exclusively on the development and growth of startups and projects in the Solana ecosystem.
Bright future and collaboration with the community
Wald emphasized that the company is evaluating innovative ways to collaborate with Solana developer communities. Some of the initiatives considered include the creation of scholarship programs, strategic partnerships, and educational efforts aimed at fostering technological innovation within the network.
When asked about his first six months as CEO, Wald commented, “I have gained a greater appreciation for the importance of maintaining focus and adaptability. “As a company, we have learned that clear communication with our investors and partners is key to building trust and aligning our long-term vision.”
The upcoming Nasdaq listing could be a watershed moment for Sol Strategies, opening up growth opportunities and consolidating its leadership in the Solana ecosystem. This step reinforces the company’s determination to remain at the forefront of the blockchain industry, taking a strategic and future-focused approach.
With its resilience and clear mission, Sol Strategies could become a prominent player not only in Solana, but also in the global Cryptocurrency market.
