Claim check: Unverified $1.5B ‘Solana Treasury’ loss; separate DATs vs Foundation
The widely shared claim that a single “Solana Treasury” incurred losses exceeding $1.5 billion, with related stocks down 59%–80%, is unverified. Available reporting points to significant unrealized losses at individual Solana-focused treasury companies, rather than a single Solana Foundation or protocol-level event.
The phrase “Solana Treasury” in these headlines generally conflates distinct entities. It most often refers to corporate digital asset treasuries (DATs) holding SOL on balance sheet, not the Solana Foundation, and stock moves vary by issuer and timeframe.
What ‘Solana Treasury’ means: Solana-focused digital asset treasuries
In this context, “Solana Treasury” denotes public companies and institutions that accumulate SOL as a treasury reserve or operating asset, Solana-focused digital asset treasuries (DATs). Some hold positions without leverage, may stake SOL, and mark positions to market under applicable reporting.
Immediate impact: unrealized losses and stock moves for FWDI, Upexi
As reported by Blockonomi, Forward Industries (FWDI) holds roughly 6.9 million SOL with an estimated cost basis near $232 per token (about $1.59 billion total). With SOL nearer the mid‑$80s, this implies approximately $1 billion in unrealized losses; disclosures also emphasized staked holdings and a debt‑free balance sheet.
Separately, FWDI’s share price decline has been acute, falling from near $40 to around $5 over the period highlighted, as reported by TodayOnChain. Price behavior reflects the market’s repricing of SOL exposure and perceived balance‑sheet risk.
FWDI leadership has framed its positioning as long‑term and unlevered. “Our structure lets us play offense when others are playing defense,” said Ryan Navi, CIO, Forward Industries.
Upexi (UPXI) also saw sharp pressure, with shares down more than 50% since early October and nearly 90% from an April high, alongside an approved share buyback program, as reported by CoinDesk. In parallel, estimated unrealized losses across several DATs have widened, with Upexi at roughly $47 million (~–15.5%), Sharps Technology about $133 million (~–34%), and Galaxy Digital near $52 million (~–38%), as reported by BeInCrypto.
Risk context for digital asset treasuries
Valuation versus book value, buybacks, and volatility signals
As reported by Cointelegraph, many DATs now trade below the value of their on‑balance‑sheet crypto, and several have turned to repurchases to address discounts. Discounts can reflect volatility risk, governance questions, liquidity concerns, and uncertainty about future treasury management.
At the time of this writing, Solana (SOL) was around $84.09, with very high 16.72% volatility and an RSI near 31.96, underscoring the sensitivity of mark‑to‑market values.
Filings, staking, and unrealized versus realized loss clarity
Unrealized losses reflect current market value below cost basis and can reverse if prices recover; realized results hinge on dispositions. Company disclosures and periodic filings can clarify whether holdings are staked, encumbered, or hedged, and whether any impairments or disposals have occurred.
