Fact Check
The Block's article directly and comprehensively confirms every element of the claim: the $18 million acquisition price, HoudiniSwap's ~$13 million annual revenue, and the strategic rationale around trade routing, cross-chain liquidity, and software revenue. The X post from @TheBlockCo corroborates the same story, and @SolanaFloor independently confirms the definitive agreement. All sources are dated May 4, 2026, consistent with the collection timestamp. No conflicting evidence was found. The only minor caveat is the absence of a direct press release from SOL Strategies' own official channels in the fetched results, but the convergence of credible independent sources makes the claim highly reliable.
