Janover Embraces Solana in Bold Treasury Move, Fueling 1,100% Stock Surge
In a striking shift from traditional finance to the world of blockchain, commercial real estate platform Janover Inc. has caught the attention of both Wall Street and crypto enthusiasts. The company’s stock soared over 1,100% this week following its announcement of a new digital asset treasury strategy focused on Solana (SOL).
Janover, which describes itself as an AI-powered commercial property financing platform, revealed it had acquired over 83,000 SOL tokens, worth around $9.6 million, as part of a broader pivot to blockchain-based asset management. The purchase was executed within days of a board-approved restructuring plan finalized on April 4.
This aggressive move marks the company’s first capital deployment from a recently completed $42 million funding round, signaling a decisive bet on Solana as both an investment and operational asset. With a market cap now approaching $73.5 million, Janover is aiming to position itself as a unique public-market vehicle for crypto accumulation.
“Our goal is to be the most efficient and transparent platform for crypto accumulation in public markets,” said CEO Joseph Onorati in a statement. “Solana offers speed, composability, and real-world functionality — it's more than just a token, it’s infrastructure.”
As part of its strategy, Janover will begin staking its SOL holdings, enabling the company to earn validator rewards while contributing to the security and decentralization of the Solana network. This will allow the firm to reinvest staking proceeds into additional SOL purchases, creating what it calls a “compounding engine” — one that grows both its balance sheet and blockchain presence.
COO and CIO Parker White emphasized the importance of quick execution:
“Speed and clarity are key to our model. We believe current market conditions provided an ideal entry point.”
While many public companies, such as Toronto-based Sol Strategies, continue to focus on Bitcoin for their crypto treasury strategies, Janover’s approach diverges by focusing on early lifecycle, high-potential assets like Solana. Onorati clarified that this doesn’t mean they’re dismissing Bitcoin — quite the opposite.
“Bitcoin is still the greatest store of value ever created,” he said. “But Solana enables something Bitcoin can’t: staking, validator participation, and faster capital compounding.”
This strategic bet on Solana comes as the ecosystem quietly gains ground. Despite volatility — with SOL dipping below $100 earlier this week — long-term sentiment remains strong. Platforms like PayPal and Fidelity are integrating Solana into their products, and the launch of Solana futures on the CME suggests growing institutional interest.
“Solana is slowly becoming the financial backbone of the crypto economy,” said Chris Chung, CEO of Solana DEX Titan. “It’s not just about short-term price swings — the infrastructure is maturing.”
Janover isn’t currently planning to diversify into other digital assets, but the company left the door open for future expansion into other high-conviction cryptocurrencies.
