Upexi, a Nasdaq-listed brand specializing in supply chain management, has seen its shares surge by over 630% following the announcement of a $100 million fundraising round, primarily intended to develop a treasury strategy involving Solana (SOL). On April 21, Upexi revealed this treasury reserve, prompting its stock price to rise from $2.30 on April 17 to $16.79 at the time of reporting. The fundraising round attracted notable crypto venture capital firms, including those connected to Arthur Hayes and other prominent investors, resulting in the issuance of approximately 44 million shares at $2.28 each. Despite reporting a profit of $3 million for the last quarter of 2024, a decrease from the previous year, Upexi's strategic pivot into cryptocurrency reflects a growing trend among companies seeking to diversify their reserves into digital assets, similar to earlier approaches by firms like MicroStrategy. Solana, which is known for its fast transaction speeds, is becoming increasingly popular in the crypto space, positioning Upexi to capitalize on recent market trends.
