The bulletin shows that a number of companies that built a digital asset bank around Solana have recently concentrated on the latest developments, covering increased SOL, pledge proceeds, debt management and ecological mergers and acquisitions. With more listed companies bringing SOL into the vault, competition on this track is rising.
Forward holds up to about 7.8 million SOLs.
In its performance for the third quarter of fiscal year 2026, disclosed on 12 August, Forward Industries stated that the company had purchased 254,000 new SOLs between 1 July and 3 August, at an average purchase price of approximately $75 per item. When this increase was completed, the company held approximately 7.8 million SOL and its equivalent.
According to the company, almost all SOL holds were involved in the pledge through their own certified nodes. According to Solana Beach, its network pledge weights are around 1.38 per cent. Forward received approximately 106,000 SOL pledge awards in the third financial season, and since the launch of the Treasury strategy in September 2025, cumulative pledges have received about 300,000 SOLs.
Forward also indicated that the possibility of acquiring other digital asset banks and related strategic operations was still being assessed. The company attempted to acquire Solana Company, Solmate and SkyAI earlier in 2026, but none was completed.
DeFi Dev's repurchaseable debt.
DeFi Development Corp. disclosed that the company had repurchased in cash in the amount of $2.3 million the reversible debt due in July 2030 for approximately $3.5 million in principal, at a return price of about 35 per cent over the face value. This action shows that the company is focusing on balance sheet efficiency.
SkyAI, Solmate continues to expand.
SkyAI disclosed that as at 30 June, the company had approximately 2 million SOLs in its treasury and approximately $12.1 million in cash. The company recorded a net pledge income of approximately $2.3 million in the second quarter, with a total annualized return of approximately 6 per cent on the pledge operations valued at SOL.
SkyAI also appoints Arthur Levine as Chief Finance Officer and continues to advance the agentic finance platform built around the Solana Treasury.
Another company, Solmate, also revealed new purchases of 1001 SOLs. As a result of this increase, its SOL holding stock was approximately 1.26 million, and the value of the treasury was estimated to be approximately $94 million by medium calibre.
SOL Strategies Infrastructure Extension
The SOL Strategies move more than just to hold SOL. Following the acquisition of the inter-chain polymer Houdini Swap, which focused on privacy, the company began to further extend its operations to the Solana ecological infrastructure.
The company disclosed that Houdini had achieved approximately $1.1 million in revenue and approximately $740,000 in the first full month of consolidation of SOL Strategies and processed approximately $92 million in transactions, with 34,427 orders.
Houdini also has access to the Temp.fun Terminal platform to add private access and multiple wallets. According to the company, this allows traders to manage multiple separate wallets while reducing the direct link between the source of funds and the target address.
