Public company seeks improved risk-adjusted returns amid compressed crypto valuations
Upexi has announced plans to introduce a new risk-adjusted yield strategy for its Solana treasury in 2026, as the company continues to grow its digital asset holdings while navigating weak equity market performance.
The Nasdaq-listed firm disclosed that its Solana holdings reached 2,174,583 SOL as of January 5, representing a 3.2% increase since late October. Upexi has positioned itself as one of the largest public holders of Solana, with most of its treasury currently staked to generate yield.
The upcoming strategy is intended to materially increase total yield without disrupting existing operations, though the company has not yet detailed how the approach will differ from its current staking-based model. The move comes as falling token prices and compressed valuation premiums are pushing crypto treasury firms toward more active management strategies.
Alongside its treasury expansion, Upexi continues to reduce its share count. The company repurchased 416,226 shares at an average price of $1.92, while its CEO purchased 200,000 shares in December, signaling insider confidence despite a sharp decline in the stock.
Upexi shares were recently trading near $2.13, down roughly 52% year-over-year, while Solana remains more than 50% below its level from a year ago, underscoring the challenging environment driving the company’s strategic shift.
