Helius invests 167 million in Solana: a strategic step!
Helius Medical Technologies recently acquired 760.190 Solana (Sol) tokens worth $ 167 million. The company is positioning itself among the largest public owners of Sol. This purchase follows a capital procurement of $ 500 million, which was carried out in collaboration with Pantera Capital and Summer Capital. Helius strives to increase his stocks and explore opportunities for staking.
The average cost to acquire SOL tokens was $231 per token. This acquisition is part of Helius' digital wealth strategy, launched on September 22, 2025. Pantera Capital's Cosmo Jiang, who serves as an observer on Helius' board, is leading this strategy. The company currently holds over $335 million in cash, leaving room for additional SOL purchases.
Strategic planning and risks
Helius plans to enlarge its SOL stock in the next 12 to 24 months, while it wants to maximize the shareholder value. This is done as part of a conservative risk management. The course of Helius' HSDT shares experienced a 250%increase on September 12, 2025, which illustrates the successful change of the company towards digital assets.
The company is one of a growing number of public companies investing in Solana. In total, nine companies hold 13.4 million SOL, representing a market value of approximately $2.95 billion. Helius' share of $167 million is smaller than the largest holder, Forward Industries, which holds 6.8 million SOL. Other significant holders include DeFi Development Corp. with 2.09 million SOL, Upexi with 2.01 million SOL and Sharps Technology with 2 million SOL.
Market reactions
After the announcement on September 22, Helius' course fell by 18%. This could indicate uncertainties in the market or concerns about the future development of digital assets. Nevertheless, the trend towards diversification in digital assets by companies such as Helius shows that there is a growing interest in exploiting the possibilities in the field of cryptocurrencies.
Helius will continue to carefully observe the developments regarding his SOL position and the reactions of the market in order to make strategically well-founded decisions and to promote corporate growth. This acquisition could be a significant step in the digital transformation of the company and strengthen its position in the rapidly growing cryptocurrency market.
