The move, which is said to be the largest financing facility focused on staking yield in Solana, signals strong institutional confidence in the network’s future.

The initial $20 million tranche of the agreement, with ATW Partners, is expected to close by May 1, 2025, with the remaining $480 million available in future allocations. According to the company, the capital will be used to acquire and stake SOL, generating yield for investors while further strengthening its validator infrastructure.

“Every dollar deployed is immediately yield-generating and accretive to both our balance sheet and validator business,” said Leah Wald, CEO of SOL Strategies.

This structure, she added, is not only unique within the SOL space but also makes this a highly scalable initiative. By directly tying capital deployment to staking rewards, SOL Strategies is aiming to spearhead institutional participation in staking while ensuring a sustainable and profitable model.

The announcement marks a significant milestone for institutional engagement with the economics of proof-of-stake protocols, especially as Solana continues to be a focal point due to its scalable, fast, and low-cost blockchain infrastructure.
