Solana Company (ticker HSDT), registered on Nasdaq, announced the launch of a share buyback program of up to $100 million. The decision was made amid falling stock prices and increased volatility in the crypto market.
The goal of the program is to strengthen capital and support shareholders
According to the official statement, the program does not have fixed terms and allows the company to buy back shares both on the open market and through individual negotiated deals.
“The new share buyback program gives the company the opportunity to flexibly manage capital. We can acquire our own shares during periods when it provides the best return for shareholders,” explained Solana Company Executive Chairman Joseph Chi.
According to him, the company adheres to a strategy of maximizing the share of Solana (SOL) per share, so during periods of market correction it is more profitable to direct funds to buy back its own shares than to external investments.
“In a period of market restructuring, our strategic focus remains unchanged — we continue to strive for transparency and creating long-term value for shareholders,” added Chi.
The buyback trend is strengthening
Solana Company’s decision reflects a new trend among Digital Asset Treasuries (DAT). More and more companies holding digital assets are resorting to share buybacks to reduce the gap between market price and net asset value (NAV), as well as to stabilize the value of their shares.
Such programs are seen as a way to increase investor confidence, especially during periods of heightened uncertainty, when shares of crypto-related companies often trade at a significant discount to the intrinsic value of their assets.
Investments in Solana and the company’s current positions
Solana Company, formerly known as Helius Medical Technologies, has been actively increasing its share in Solana (SOL) tokens in recent months. Last week, the company reported that it acquired about 100,000 SOL worth approximately $20 million, bringing its total holdings to more than 2.3 million tokens.
Thus, the company is strengthening its position as one of the largest public holders of Solana, while also strengthening its balance sheet and increasing internal liquidity.
Market situation and stock quotes
Despite the portfolio expansion, Solana Company’s shares have fallen by more than 70% over the past month, reflecting the overall weakening of the crypto market.
At the time of publication, HSDT was trading at $4.79 (according to Yahoo Finance at 9:46 a.m. Eastern Time). The company’s market capitalization has decreased, but management is confident that the share buyback will stabilize the price and reduce volatility.
The decision to launch the program also coincided with personnel changes: this week, Pantera Capital partner Cosmo Jiang joined the Solana Company board of directors, which, according to analysts, will strengthen the company’s strategic management and investment competencies.
How the buyback program works
The program has no time limits and will be implemented in stages, depending on market conditions.
The company will be able to buy shares:
- on the open market, if the quotes are below NAV
- through private deals with investors wishing to sell large blocks of shares
- or use a hybrid approach combining both methods
Since the program is indefinite, the company will be able to regulate the volume of buybacks in response to market dynamics and liquidity.
Why buybacks are important for investors
For investors, share buybacks are usually perceived as a positive signal:
- it shows that the company considers its shares undervalued
- reduces the total number of shares in circulation, which increases earnings per share
- and demonstrates management’s confidence in the stability of the business
In the case of Solana Company, it also demonstrates faith in the long-term potential of the Solana blockchain and its ecosystem, which in recent months has become one of the main beneficiaries of institutional investor interest.
Prospects and next steps
Experts expect that the buyback program will help the company ease pressure on its shares and increase shareholder confidence, especially in a volatile digital asset market.
If the Solana price remains stable and the company continues to buy back its own shares at a reduced price, Solana Company will be able to increase the book value of its shares and improve earnings per share in the next reporting period.
“For crypto treasuries, this is a step towards maturity. Such decisions bring the sector closer to the standards of the traditional stock market,” noted a Blockworks Research analyst.
