Pantera Capital, one of the most influential investment funds in the crypto sector, is making bold moves into Solana with a $1.25 billion investment plan. This strategic shift aims to convert a public company into a blockchain "treasury" vehicle, highlighting institutional interest in the growing Solana ecosystem.
According to a report by The Information, Pantera aims to raise 500 million dollars from investors initially. This sum will be used by a Nasdaq-listed company to massively acquire Solana (SOL) tokens.
The fund has also structured an option to raise an additional 750 million dollars through warrants, bringing the total investment to more than 1.25 billion dollars.
This project aims to create a publicly traded investment vehicle, named “Solana Co.”, entirely dedicated to the Solana blockchain. This represents Pantera’s strategy to allow a broader audience to invest directly in the ecosystem.
Pantera isn’t the only entity betting on Solana’s success. According to reports, Galaxy Digital, Multicoin Capital, and Jump Crypto are also in discussions to raise nearly $1 billion to replicate a similar fund.
CoinGecko data shows that publicly traded companies now hold more than 3.7 million SOL, worth approximately 702 million dollars. This represents 0.69% of Solana’s total supply.
For comparison, Ethereum treasuries hold 3.56% of the total supply, while public and private companies own more than 6% of Bitcoin‘s total supply.
This movement comes amid increased volatility in the cryptocurrency market. Solana, despite falling more than 5% over the last 24 hours, remains up 4% on a weekly basis.
The announcement of Pantera Capital’s massive investment in the Solana ecosystem marks a significant milestone in the institutional adoption of this blockchain. With more than 1.25 billion dollars ready to be deployed, Solana could benefit from an influx of liquidity and increased visibility among traditional investors.
This move also highlights the growing appeal of alternative blockchains to Bitcoin and Ethereum among institutional players in an evolving crypto market. Solana’s future appears brighter than ever.
