Nasdaq-listed Mercurity Fintech Holding has entered into a $200 million equity line of credit agreement with Solana Ventures to fund a Solana-focused treasury strategy. An equity line of credit allows a company to raise capital by issuing new shares to an investor over time, typically at the company’s discretion and based on market conditions.
With the agreement in place, Mercurity (ticker MFH) plans to accumulate “a large position” in Solana (SOL) tokens, earn yield via staking, validator nodes, and Solana decentralized finance protocols, and invest in Solana-based projects, including tokenized assets and real-world asset platforms.
The new Solana initiative comes shortly after Mercurity announced a bitcoin investment plan last month, saying it intended to raise $800 million to build a long-term bitcoin treasury reserve.
When asked whether the SOL treasury strategy marks a shift away from bitcoin, Mercurity’s chief strategy officer Wilfred Daye told The Block that the new plan is additive and does not replace any bitcoin strategy. He described the two assets as “potentially different share classes.”
“SOL and BTC have different treasury applications,” said Daye, a former executive at Securitize and OKCoin. “SOL has staking yield, BTC is non-interest bearing; SOL can be managed much easier on DeFi rail, BTC is much harder. BTC is like digital gold; SOL is like a high yield bond with higher volatility.”
Last week, Mercurity announced a plan for a $500 million “DeFi Basket” treasury strategy focused on Solana, with additional exposure to ether (ETH), XRP, cardano (ADA), and BNB to enhance on-chain yield and strategic exposure. Today’s $200 million Solana treasury appears to be a key component of that broader plan.
The move comes amid a wave of companies adopting crypto treasury strategies — both in bitcoin and altcoins — following the blueprint set by bitcoin-heavy firms like Strategy. Unlike bitcoin treasuries that largely focus on accumulation, altcoin-focused strategies often involve active participation through staking and ecosystem investments.
