Canadian investment firm SOL Strategies has secured a $500 million convertible note to buy Solana, the company announced on Wednesday, reflecting the growing interest in the crypto that has been popular among meme coin developers and others who favor its speed compared to rivals.
The company, which trades on the Canadian Securities Exchange under the ticker HODL, described the agreement with New York investment firm ATW Partners as the largest and first of its kind in the Solana ecosystem.
“This is the largest financing facility of its kind in the Solana ecosystem and the first ever directly tied to staking yield,” SOL Strategies CEO Leah Wald said in a statement.
Solana, the sixth-largest digital asset with a $77 billion market capitalization, has surged more than 20% over the past two weeks, outpacing even Bitcoin.
The price uplift comes amid a resurgence in meme coins, with Fartcoin gaining more than 90% over the past month and others entering positive territory, according to CoinGecko data.
Solana was recently changing hands at $152, up 5% over the past 24 hours and 14% over the week.
Wald said that buying Solana would help the company become the leading institutional staking platform.
SOL Strategies' stock was recently trading for $2.27 CAD (US$1.64) per share, up nearly 25% over the past day.

The software firm said it scooped the asset up for an average price of $84,800 last week. Strategy said the acquisition was made using proceeds...

SOL Strategies said last month that it holds 267,151 SOL, today worth over $40.4 million. Token holders can stake or pledge their crypto to the network to help it run and receive rewards in the process.
Solana and its native coin has gained traction with investors and developers alike because it is a cheaper and faster alternative to Ethereum, the network behind the second-biggest crypto, ETH.

Ethereum rallied nearly 40% last week, climbing from around $1,800 to $2,500, as risk appetite returned to digital assets amid easing trade tensions and a major network upgrade.

U.S. President Donald Trump’s announcement of constructive talks with China, alongside a limited trade agreement with the U.K., helped drive macro optimism, lifting traditional equities on Monday.
