Forward Industries’ stock (NASDAQ: FORD) surged 16% over the past five trading days, driven by investor enthusiasm over its pivot to Solana. The stock is now up 620% year-to-date, rebounding sharply from a prolonged decline.

Despite the rally, the company’s financials remain weak, with revenue down 50% and a 329% drop in net margins in its most recent quarterly filing. The Solana ecosystem continues to attract institutional capital.

On September 3, Galaxy Digital became the first Nasdaq-listed company to be tokenized on the Solana blockchain. Other firms are also joining the trend: DeFi Development Corp recently announced that it has accumulated over 2 million SOL after an $117 million buying streak.

Solana now boasts over $12 billion in total value locked (TVL) across its DeFi ecosystem, second only to Ethereum. According to Helius CEO Mert Mumtaz, Solana-focused treasury companies have raised between $3 billion and $4 billion to date, with more expected to follow.

The company is phasing out its former focus on Bitcoin and other proof-of-work assets, instead doubling down on Solana with plans to raise up to $300 million. As part of its ecosystem play, BIT Mining also launched a stablecoin called DOLAI on Solana in partnership with Brale Inc.

Upexi Inc. , a consumer products firm turned Solana treasury powerhouse, now holds over 2 million SOL valued at $447 million, with $142 million in unrealized gains and daily staking rewards of around $105,000.
