Shares of Upexi fell sharply after the company filed a shelf registration with US regulators to raise up to $1 billion, a move largely tied to expanding its Solana-focused treasury strategy. The stock closed down 7.5% following the filing, reflecting investor caution around further crypto exposure.
Upexi said proceeds could be used to accumulate and stake Solana tokens, alongside other general corporate purposes. The firm currently holds about 2.1 million SOL valued at near $262 million, making it one of the largest corporate holders of the token. However, it has paused additional purchases since late July amid a broader pullback in digital asset prices.
The filing highlights the growing scrutiny facing companies that have tied balance sheets to volatile crypto assets. With Solana trading well below its peak, declining token prices have significantly reduced the value of Upexi’s holdings, underscoring the financial risks of treasury-driven crypto strategies.
