The company also recently announced a letter of intent and made an offer to acquire the Solana Company. It believes that partnering with the Solana Company would be great for both companies, and that the combined scale, Solana expertise, and efforts will allow both companies to realize and sustain the value embedded in the organizations.
Since the inception of Forward’s SOL treasury strategy, it has amassed liquid SOL holdings of more than 7 million, and Forward’s validator infrastructure has generated between 6.5% and 7.2% gross annual percentage yield (“APY”) before fees, outperforming many other top peer validators.
