Currently holding 2.2 million SOL, Helius intends to expand its crypto treasury with an additional $15 million investment. This strategic accumulation positions the company as one of the largest institutional holders of SOL to date.
Solana DAT company Helius stated that the company aims to acquire at least 5% of Solana and pointed out that as long as the market capitalization and regulatory requirements are met, the second listing location will be Hong Kong, or within 6 months. https://t.co/Wl5kvlGx9u…

Public Listing on Hong Kong Exchange
The firm is also preparing a secondary listing on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange within the next six months. The timing will align with market capitalization milestones and regulatory approvals. By listing in Hong Kong, Helius aims to tap into Asia’s growing enthusiasm for digital assets and crypto infrastructure.
Institutional Support and Partnerships
Helius has secured backing from Pantera Capital and Xia Yan Capital and has partnered with the Solana Foundation. The collaboration is designed to support Solana ecosystem growth across Asia. Operating as a Digital Asset Treasury (DAT), Helius plans to leverage its treasury strategy to increase token value and deliver long-term growth for investors.

Solana’s Growing Institutional Appeal
The rise of Solana-focused DATs underscores a broader institutional trend. Currently, DATs hold 17.8 million SOL, around 3.1% of total supply. Leading holders include Forward Industries with 6.822 million SOL and several firms holding over 2 million each. Helius’ accumulation strategy reflects growing institutional confidence in Solana’s speed, low fees, and technical capabilities, supporting over 1,500 transactions per second.
With its strategic SOL acquisition, Hong Kong listing plans, and strong institutional backing, Helius is positioning itself as a major driver of Solana’s global ecosystem. The firm’s move highlights the increasing integration of performance-driven crypto assets in institutional treasuries, signaling a potential shift in how companies manage digital assets long-term.
