SOL Strategies filed a $1B shelf prospectus to enable future funding linked to Solana blockchain growth.
The firm secured a $500M facility to stake SOL tokens and connect its capital to Solana staking returns.
A plan to issue tokenized shares on Solana is under review and may link public equity to blockchain systems.
SOL Strategies has filed a preliminary short-form base shelf prospectus on May 27. The company submitted the document to Canadian securities regulators. This filing allows it to raise up to $1 billion through various financial instruments.

The shelf prospectus gives the company long-term flexibility. It can issue securities over time without filing a separate prospectus each time. The filing outlines general terms but leaves out final pricing and quantity details. It includes options such as common shares, units, subscription receipts, warrants, and debt securities.
The move signals the company’s intent to grow within the Solana blockchain space. There are currently no plans to raise capital. The filing serves only as a preparatory step. If the company proceeds with any offering, it will file a detailed supplement.
Regulators must approve the prospectus before any fundraising can take place. Once accepted, SOL Strategies can quickly access funds to support future projects. This allows the company to respond faster to market shifts in the blockchain sector.
$500 Million Facility to Acquire and Stake SOL Tokens
In April, SOL Strategies arranged a financing agreement with ATW Partners. The New York-based firm committed to a convertible note facility of up to $500 million. This capital will be used to buy SOL tokens and stake them on SOL Strategies’ validators.
This structure ties the company’s financial strategy directly to Solana’s staking economy. The first $20 million tranche was expected to close in early May. Interest on the notes will be paid in SOL tokens. Payments will depend on staking returns and are capped at 85% of generated yield.
The notes are also convertible into common shares. This provides additional value potential while aligning interests between investor and company. Cohen & Company Capital Markets is acting as placement agent. It will receive a 4% fee from the transaction.
Tokenized Equity on Solana in Development Stage
SOL Strategies signed a memorandum with blockchain firm Superstate. The agreement is to explore issuing tokenized shares on the Solana blockchain. The plan involves integrating traditional equity with blockchain technology.
Superstate’s Opening Bell platform would serve as the infrastructure. It offers real-time settlement and compatibility with DeFi systems. This plan remains subject to regulatory review. If approved, it would mark a significant shift in how public equities are managed on-chain.
