Sharps Technology Inc. (STSS) saw its shares soar more than 50% on Monday after communicate which will raise over $400 million in a private placement. The goal is to create a corporate treasury anchored in Solana (SOL), strengthening the company's presence in the cryptocurrency sector.
The offering was structured at $6,50 per unit, accompanied by warrants with a three-year exercise price of $9,75. The offering is expected to close on August 28, 2025, with participation from institutional investors such as ParaFi, Pantera, FalconX, and Republic Digital.
Recently appointed Chief Investment Officer Alice Zhang highlighted Solana's combination of speed and low transaction costs, characteristics that make it attractive for global adoption. Executive Chairman Paul K. Danner stated that partnerships with major asset managers and the consulting team's expertise position Sharps to become a benchmark in Solana-based treasury.
