Could Solana's $2B corporate treasury potentially catalyze further price increases for SOL?
Solana Treasury Companies Prepare for $2 Billion Investment in Asset
Treasury companies associated with Solana (SOL), a popular smart contracts platform, have filed proposals for potential capital raises totaling over $2 billion. These moves could spark a mid- to long-term rally for the altcoin, if successfully executed.
According to analysts, SOL Strategies and DeFi Development Corporation have each filed proposals for a potential fundraising of $1 billion. If successful, the resulting capital could significantly increase the purchasing power of these treasury companies, potentially rivaling the Bitcoin buying strategy of MicroStrategy.
As noted by Richard Galvin, founder of Digital Asset Capital Management, the potential influx of $2 billion into SOL could be akin to Mike Saylor's $46 billion acquisition of Bitcoin.
SOL Treasury Emerges as a Hot Asset Class
Like Bitcoin, Solana's corporate treasury has gained momentum, with some observers deeming it a 'meta' trend in this cycle. Notably, SOL Strategies has amassed 395,0078 SOL and delegated 3.5 million SOL for validator operations as of May 6th. Meanwhile, DeFi Development Corporation has purchased 609,233 SOL over the past two months.
Another firm, Upexi, a U.S.-based consumer-focused company, now holds 679,677 SOL, having invested $96.5 million. The growing trend of capital inflows into SOL could contribute to an appreciation in the asset's value. Over the past period, realized capital surged from $74.5 billion to $79.6 billion, indicating an inflow of over $5 billion.
If this trend continues and $2 billion flows into the asset, it could potentially drive a +30% rally for SOL, assuming market conditions remain favorable. However, concerns have been raised about the model of the SOL treasury companies, particularly in relation to low-interest rate environments, tax obligations, and inflation.
Market Dynamics and Price Outlook
Recent price action for SOL shows a slight cooling off after massive profit-taking in mid-May generated $737 million in realized profits. Historically, such spikes in profit-taking have indicated local price peaks, as seen in November 2024 and January 2025.
However, the trailing profit indicator has declined at the end of May, suggesting that SOL may attempt a push higher amid relatively low selling pressure. Despite this, a negative Funding Rate could complicate matters.
Currently, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) sits on the neutral level, and the price action is above key short-term moving averages (EMAs). If the rally extends, a dip to $168 or $160 could present a notable buying opportunity, aiming for the $180 target.
However, sustained drops below the 100-period EMA and 200-period EMA could signal a bearish warning. At the time of writing, the Solana price was at a pivotal point that could lead to a short-term rally or an extended correction.
