SOL is trading near $120, its highest level in nine months, lifting the value of Solana token holdings accumulated by Nasdaq-listed companies. Forward Industries leads the public-company rankings with between 7.55 million and 8.16 million SOL, worth roughly $900 million to just under $1 billion at current prices, and announced a $25 million common stock offering on September 23 to buy more. Solana Company holds approximately 2.06 million to 2.3 million SOL after raising around $500 million through a PIPE transaction (private investment in public equity) in 2025. DeFi Development Corp. and Upexi hold roughly 2.39 million to 2.49 million and 2.17 million to 2.34 million SOL, respectively. Tracked public companies collectively hold more than 17 million SOL, representing over $2 billion in exposure at $120 per token. The strategy has also produced losses: Solana Company reported a $130.1 million net loss for the first half of 2026, driven by unrealized losses on SOL holdings after earlier price declines. More than $200 million has flowed into U.S. spot Solana ETFs, with consecutive weeks of positive net flows supporting momentum. Analysts’ SOL price targets range from $130 to $500, while tokenized equities and other real-world asset applications are expanding activity across the Solana ecosystem. Greater network use can increase demand for SOL because the token is required for transaction fees. The main risk is concentration: forced selling caused by margin calls, shareholder pressure or regulatory changes could trigger cascading liquidations as companies continue raising capital to buy SOL.
