Upexi shares closed down 7.5% on Tuesday after the company filed to raise up to $1 billion to expand Solana’s finances and pursue other opportunities related to the token.
Upexi said in a shelf registration filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Tuesday that the financing may cover common stock, preferred stock, bonds, warrants and units that may be issued over the long term.
It said the net proceeds from the offering will be used for general corporate purposes. The company is primarily focused on accumulating as much Solana (SOL) as possible and staking it to earn rewards in additional tokens.
According to CoinGecko data, Upexi holds 2.1 million SOL worth $262.3 million, making it Solana’s fourth-largest treasury company.
Solana government bond purchases slowed significantly in the second half of 2025 on the back of a broader crypto market rebound and declining confidence in the sustainability of crypto government bond strategies.
Upexi (UPXI) shares fell 7.54% to close at $1.84 on Tuesday, before settling a bit after the bell, rising 4.34% to $1.92.
