Sol Strategies, a publicly traded Canadian company that provides infrastructure support for Solana blockchain, has set eyes on Nasdaq. As per<a href="https://www.theblock.co/post/330712/sol-strategies-plans-nasdaq-listing-after-2336-stock-surge-since-july-on-canadian-exchange" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow"> the report</a>, the publicly traded crypto holding previously identified as Cypherpunk gave the update on Thursday.
The announcement came after its stock, with the ticker HODL on the Canadian Securities Exchange, registered a 2,336% spike. This figure represents its growth between July and now.

According to Leah Wald, Chief Executive of Sol Strategies, the move to list positions the company to increase liquidity. It also guarantees accessibility to investors in multiple markets. A strategic angle to the listing is that Sol Strategies can capitalize on investment opportunities within the Solana ecosystem.
This ensures that the firm’s operational costs are covered without liquidating its long-term holdings. Beyond these, listing on the Nasdaq will increase liquidity, brand visibility, and a broader investor base.
Sol Strategies’ commitment to the Solana ecosystem has grown as it currently holds over 142,000 SOL tokens, estimated at $32 million (or 46 million Canadian dollars). The company has acquired four additional Solana validators, with staking now a critical part of the Sol Strategies approach.

As “Cypherpunk Holdings” bet huge on Bitcoin, the company offered a path for investors interested in getting crypto exposure. However, market dynamics have shifted, and Bitcoin exposure is readily available through exchange-traded products, crypto exchanges, and other options.
Since Wald assumed her role as CEO, the company has greatly<a href="https://x.com/solstrategies_/status/1866892328717238304" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow"> reduced its Bitcoin holdings</a> from hundreds to just about 3 BTC. This shift occurred before<a href="https://thecoinrise.com/bitcoin-surge-toward-100k-faces-offload-pressure-potential-bearish-turn-looms/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow"> Bitcoin surged to the $100,000 price</a> level. Wald explained that the shift from Bitcoin aligned with the company’s decision to embrace Solana.
Its move on Solana mirrors the earlier Bitcoin bet. Sol Strategies might be betting on increased demand for<a href="https://thecoinrise.com/grayscale-joins-the-race-for-spot-solana-etf-with-sec-filing/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow"> exposure to the Solana ecosystem</a>. Already,<a href="https://thecoinrise.com/solana-surpasses-ethereum-in-attracting-new-developers-report/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow"> Solana is making waves in attracting new developers</a> to the ecosystem and recently surpassed Ethereum on this front.

Sol Strategies has consistently focused on expanding its portfolio investment in Solana-based startups. 
According to Wald, efforts were made to collaborate with the developer communities to promote innovation. It aims to do this via grants, educational programs, and partnerships.&nbsp;
