💼 Public Companies Now Hold 591M in Solana — Institutional FOMO Goes On-Chain

From corporate treasuries to staking vaults, Wall Street-adjacent money is pouring into Solana — and four public companies now control nearly 0.65% of the network’s supply.


📌 Quick Take

  • Total SOL held: 3,515,391
  • Combined value: 591.1M
  • Share of circulating supply: 0.65%
  • Top holders: Upexi, Inc. • DeFi Dev. Corp • SOL Strategies • Torrent Capital
  • SOL price: 180 (+14% last 30 days)

🏦 Who’s Holding What

Upexi, Inc.

  • Holdings: 1.9M SOL
  • Avg. price: 168.63
  • Value: 319.5M (–0.9M from cost basis)
  • Move: Staked 100% of tokens for 8% yield as of June 2025

DeFi Developments Corp (DeFi Dev.)

  • Holdings: 1,182,685 SOL
  • Avg. price: 137.07
  • Value: 198.9M
  • Gain: +36.8M unrealized
  • Move: Accumulating aggressively, no signs of selling

🚀 Institutional Accumulation Playbook

The common thread? Long-term positioning + yield farming.

  • Upexi went all-in on staking — locking the bag for passive 8% APY.
  • DeFi Dev. holds the most profitable pile, adding more on dips.
  • SOL Strategies is playing the slow-and-steady game.
  • Torrent Capital made its move early and is now coasting on unrealized gains.

The result: corporate entities are no longer just flirting with Solana. They’re baking it into treasury strategy — a move that’s historically been reserved for Bitcoin.


📈 Solana’s Price Context

SOL is up +14% in the past month, trading north of 180 as institutional demand collides with retail hype. These public-company holdings aren’t massive by BTC standards, but for Solana’s 90B+ market cap, 0.65% in institutional hands is a strong signal of confidence.


🌎 Bigger Picture

Public companies holding and staking SOL is more than just bullish optics — it’s a network health boost. Locked supply, reduced sell pressure, and institutional-grade validation all feed into Solana’s liquidity and legitimacy.

If this trend continues, SOL could shift from “alt-L1” to a fully institutionalized digital asset — joining the ranks of Bitcoin and Ethereum as a must-have for corporate treasuries.


TL;DR

Four public companies now control 591M worth of SOL (3.5M tokens), nearly 0.65% of circulating supply. From yield farming to dollar-cost averaging, the strategies vary — but the signal is the same: institutional Solana adoption is real, and it’s growing.
