Galaxy, Jump, and Multicoin Plan $1B Solana Treasury Bet As reported, Galaxy Digital, Jump Crypto, and Multicoin Capital are in talks to raise around $1 billion to build the largest Solana treasury to date. Bloomberg reported that Cantor Fitzgerald has been tapped as the lead banker, with the Solana Foundation backing the deal, which could close in early September. The plan involves taking over a publicly traded company and converting it into a digital asset treasury vehicle dedicated to Solana. Likewise, Pantera Capital is preparing to raise as much as $1.25 billion to transform a Nasdaq-listed company into “Solana Co.,” a public vehicle built to accumulate Solana (SOL) as a treasury asset The plan reportedly involves an initial $500 million raise, followed by $750 million through warrants. If completed, it would mark one of the largest dedicated efforts to create a public Solana treasury vehicle. The move follows Pantera’s disclosure earlier this month that it has already deployed about $300 million into digital asset treasury (DAT) firms. Asset manager Bitwise recently noted that Solana had reached a $100 billion market cap in under five years, faster than legacy tech firms like Google and Meta, which took seven and nine years, respectively. SOL has gained 26.2% in the past 30 days and is up 54.5% year-on-year, according to CoinGecko, with staking yields and corporate interest providing fresh tailwinds for the ecosystem.
