SOL Strategies’ STKE shares will be available on NASDAQ from the trading session opening Tuesday, Sept. 9, 2025.
The company’s shares will still be available on Canadian Securities Exchange (“CSE”) under the symbol “HODL.” At the same time, the company will sunset trading of its CYFRF shares on the over-the-counter market OTCQB. All such shares will be automatically converted to NASDAQ’s ones.
Introducing the new listing to investors and the community, SOL Strategies CEO Leah Wald expands on why this listing is important to the entire Solana (SOL) scene:
This Nasdaq listing represents more than just an achievement for SOL Strategies, it’s validation for the entire Solana ecosystem. As a leading Solana-focused company to reach this milestone, we’re proud to demonstrate the institutional quality and growth potential that exists within this high-performance blockchain ecosystem. Our listing opens new pathways for institutional capital to access Solana infrastructure through regulated and transparent markets
The company expects the NASDAQ listing to accelerate validator growth through institutional partnerships and cement SOL Strategies’ position as a gateway to Solana’s segment for TradFi liquidity.

The interest in SOL-based institutional solutions is accelerating across the globe. Yesterday, Sept. 5, 2025, the first-ever Solana ETF with staking went live in crypto-friendly Kazakhstan.
