SOL demand grows 20x in 2025

In 2025 alone, demand for SOL from public companies jumped from 173K SOL to 3.44 million, marking 1,875% demand growth or 19.6x (about 20x). 

Key public SOL treasury players—such as Upexi, DeFi Development Corporation, SOL Strategies, and Neptune Digital Assets—drove the demand. 

Together, these firms now hold SOL assets valued at $647 million.

This new demand avenue for SOL could boost its value. For treasury firms, they can benefit from price appreciation and earn over 7% from staking yield and other DeFi strategies. 

For Rob Lim, CEO of iSpecimen, the move was a bet on the future, adding that, 

“By building a Solana-based treasury, we believe that we are aligning with the future of decentralized infrastructure and digital assets.”
