This Solana treasury company may sell SOL as a DeFi loan ties up more than half its treasury

SOL Strategies may sell part of its Solana treasury to meet obligations, as much of its holdings remain pledged against debt.

According to an SEC filing, the company said it had C$1.87 million in cash as of June 30 and that roughly C$22 million of digital assets were unencumbered and available for conversion into fiat.

SOL Strategies also reported C$37.33 million of current liabilities, although those obligations are staggered and do not represent a single payment due immediately.

The financial statements show those obligations include about C$3.31 million of accounts payable, a C$7.75 million HoudiniSwap acquisition note, C$784,000 owed to a vendor, a C$865,000 current acquisition holdback, C$13.90 million borrowed through DeFi protocol Kamino Finance and C$10.73 million of current convertible debentures.

Their repayment schedules vary considerably. Trade payables are generally due within 30 days, while the Houdini note matures Dec. 1. A US$1.25 million Houdini acquisition holdback is split between payments nine and 18 months after the June 1 closing. Kamino carries no fixed maturity, while some debenture conversion or maturity dates extend into 2028 and 2030.

Management said its liquidity plan includes cost reductions, revenue from staking, validators and HoudiniSwap, selective SOL sales, securities issuance and potential additional borrowing through its ATW convertible note facility.

The disclosure puts greater focus on how the company finances operations while preserving a treasury of roughly 460,000 SOL worth C$48 million at quarter-end.

Notably, more than half of those holdings were already tied to borrowing. SOL Strategies pledged 252,851 SOL, valued at C$26.4 million, to Kamino Finance against roughly C$13.9 million of debt.

While the absence of a fixed maturity reduces immediate repayment pressure, Kamino can automatically liquidate collateral if the loan-to-value ratio reaches 75%, increasing the company’s exposure to a sharp decline in SOL.

SOL Strategies said its digital assets provided roughly C$34 million of net liquidity after accounting for the Kamino borrowing. Management also said its available cash, crypto and other resources were sufficient to support operations for at least 12 months.
