The statement is directly and explicitly confirmed by a single primary source (Evidence 9), which appears to be a press release distributed by Bizwire. This source contains all the key details: the company name (Forward Industries, Inc.), the action (announces a private placement), the amount ($1.65 billion), and the purpose (to initiate a Solana treasury strategy). While not corroborated by another source mentioning Forward Industries specifically, the claim is highly plausible within the context provided by other evidence showing a wider trend of companies adopting crypto treasury strategies.
