Sharps Technology, a medical device and pharmaceutical packaging firm, plans a $400 million stock sale. This capital raise will fund a Solana treasury. Large crypto investment funds, including ParaFi, Pantera Capital, and CoinFund, contributed to the raise.
The transaction closes on August 28. Alice Zhang joins Sharps' board and becomes Chief Investment Officer. James Zhang also joins as a strategic advisor.
This capital injection positions Sharps to become a leading Solana treasury company. The firm's stock will function as a proxy for Solana's price.
Expanding the Solana Treasury Landscape
The crypto treasury trend continues to spread.
Currently, Upexi holds approximately $394 million in Solana. DeFi Development Corp. maintains over $250 million. Sharps' planned treasury would surpass these existing holdings.

Sharps' move follows a trend of small public companies establishing digital asset treasuries. This strategy gained popularity with MicroStrategy's Bitcoin acquisitions in 2020. Other firms subsequently added various cryptocurrencies to their balance sheets.
