Helius Medical Technologies, now operating as HSDT Solana Company, has grown its Solana treasury to more than 2.2 million SOL tokens worth over $525 million, combined with cash holdings exceeding $15 million, the company announced on October 6.
The acquisition was made less than three weeks after the initial $500 million private placement closed on September 18, with the combined value already surpassing the gross proceeds from the original capital raise.
Cosmo Jiang, General Partner at Pantera Capital and Board Observer, noted the company is “focused on maximizing shareholder value by efficiently accumulating Solana.”
Institutional Solana treasury holdings have surged past $4 billion across 18 tracked participants controlling 3.1% of the circulating supply, according to Strategic Solana Reserve data.
