The statement is strongly supported by the evidence. Source 3 directly reports, 'Forward Industries launches $4B at-the-market program to support Solana treasury expansion.' This plan is further corroborated by multiple other sources (Businesswire, Investopedia, Yahoo Finance) confirming that the company has pivoted its business to a Solana-focused treasury and has already closed a $1.65 billion private placement to initiate this strategy. The combination of the existing investment and the announced $4B program validates the plan for a major expansion of its Solana holdings.
