Forward Industries, the largest corporate Solana (SOL) holder, saw its share price rise by double-digits on Wednesday.
The uptick came after the company revealed it bought over 500,000 Solana (SOL) in fiscal Q3 2026.
Forward Industries SOL Treasury Tops 7.5M
FWDI closed at $4.70 on July 1, up 11.37%. The gain extended a rally that began in late June, when SOL started to recover. That rebound has offered relief to a stock weighed down by a broader 2026 downturn.

According to the announcement, the firm acquired the tokens at an average price of about $79 each. Forward held 7.55 million SOL as of June 30, 2026.
SOL-per-fully diluted share rose to 0.0729 from 0.0669 in the prior quarter, a 36% annualized growth rate. Furthermore, shares outstanding fell to 73.85 million from 76.31 million.
Meanwhile, the company sold 93,642 shares through its at-the-market program during the quarter. Forward also cited its recent inclusion in the Russell 2000 and Russell 3000 indexes.
“By repurchasing shares when Forward trades at a discount to NAV and issuing equity when our shares trade at a premium, we dynamically allocate capital in a way that compounds SOL per share and enhances long-term intrinsic value,” CIO Ryan Navi said.
Losses Still Weigh on the Largest SOL Holder
The buying spree came after a painful stretch. Forward recorded a $283.1 million net loss for the quarter ended March 31, 2026, driven by fair-value markdowns on its SOL stack. Revenue still quadrupled year over year on staking rewards.
Market conditions have since turned more favorable. SOL gained over 15% over the past week on strong network activity, outperforming large-cap cryptocurrencies, BeInCrypto Markets data shows.
The coming months will test whether SOL’s recovery can hold, a swing that flows directly to Forward’s balance sheet as the largest SOL holder.
