Pantera Capital seeks $1.25 billion for Solana treasury firm: The Information
Quick Take Pantera Capital is aiming to raise up to $1.25 billion to create a U.S.-listed Solana treasury company. The plan involves raising an initial sum of $500 million, and then another $750 million through warrant issuance.
Pantera Capital is aiming to raise up to $1.25 billion to establish a U.S.-listed Solana treasury company, according to a report from The Information.
The digital asset fund manager is reportedly planning to convert a publicly-traded company into a Solana treasury firm, tentatively named Solana Co., by raising an initial sum of $500 million, and then another $750 million through warrant issuance.
This could potentially create the largest corporate Solana treasury in the world. Currently, public companies hold 3.44 million SOL, worth around $650 million.
Pantera's latest initiative also coincides with yesterday's Bloomberg report of Galaxy Digital, Jump Crypto, and Multicoin Capital's ongoing project to raise $1 billion to establish a digital asset treasury firm to accumulate Solana jointly.
This signals a broader trend of digital asset treasuries moving beyond first movers to larger, established corporations beginning to deploy substantial capital.
Pantera recently invested several hundred million dollars in crypto treasury projects — it revealed Monday that it participated in medical device firm Sharps Technology's $400 million private placement to establish a Solana stockpile.
Earlier this month, Pantera disclosed that it had invested over $300 million into digital asset treasury (DAT) companies.
"DATs can generate yield to grow net asset value per share, resulting in more underlying token ownership over time than just holding spot," Pantera wrote at the time. "Therefore, owning a DAT could offer higher return potential compared to holding tokens directly or through an ETF."
Pantera's DAT portfolio encompasses various tokens, including Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, BNB, Toncoin, Hyperliquid, Sui, and Ethena treasury firms located in various countries.
The Block has reached out to Pantera for confirmation and further comments.

Foreign investors have made net sales of $31 billion in Indian stocks this year, and administrative controls are accelerating hedging demand towards the offshore NDF market, with the effectiveness of interventions continuously diminishing. The most critical risk lies in the fact that the yield spread between Indian and US 10-year government bonds has sharply dropped from 600 basis points in 2013 to just 200 basis points, with the traditional interest rate defense line nearly breached. India faces a dilemma: persisting on the current path will exhaust policy space, while relying on rate hikes to rebuild the yield spread would directly stifle economic growth.
