The funds will be used to buy and manage Solana tokens over the next year or two. The company plans to grow its holdings and uses a mix of public market tools, including stock sales and other established methods.
It will also explore ways to earn extra income through activities such as staking and lending Solana, while maintaining a cautious approach to risk.
