Institution Buys $344M SUI Stake as Blockchain Eyes Breakout

SUI Group Holdings, a publicly traded company with an official relationship with the Sui Foundation, has significantly increased its SUI token holdings, exceeding 101.795 million tokens as of September 2, 2025, valued at approximately $344 million based on the $3.26 per token price [2]. This milestone reflects the company’s ongoing strategy to build a foundation-backed digital asset treasury, with the aim of generating value for shareholders by increasing SUI per share [1]. The company’s treasury holdings have grown through the purchase of discounted locked SUI tokens, and it plans to continue pursuing capital raises to fund further acquisitions [1].

SUI Group's Chief Investment Officer, Stephen Mackintosh, emphasized the company’s confidence in the SUI blockchain’s potential, noting that the strategy is aligned with the long-term vision of the Sui Foundation [2]. The company has staked the majority of its holdings, earning an approximate 2.2% yield, with an estimated daily yield of around $20,000 [2]. These developments highlight the institutional-grade exposure to the Sui blockchain and underscore the growing interest in SUI as a digital asset [1].

The Sui blockchain has seen substantial progress in the first half of 2025, with over 2.7 billion transactions processed and total value locked (TVL) surpassing $1 billion [2]. The network has also expanded its validator set and partnered with Alibaba to enhance the developer experience through AI-powered tools [2]. These developments are expected to drive further adoption and innovation on the Sui blockchain.

The price of SUI has experienced volatility in recent months, with the token dropping 37% from its peak of $5.35 to around $3.26 as of September 2025 [3]. However, technical indicators suggest a potential breakout from a falling wedge pattern, which could signal a rally if the price moves above the $3.65 resistance level [3]. On-chain data also show rising weekly transactions, indicating renewed network activity and growing user participation [3]. Additionally, the launch of Phase 2 of tBTC on Sui is expected to fuel the next wave of Bitcoin DeFi activity on the network [3].

While SUI has faced downward pressure, its market fundamentals remain strong. The SUI Group’s increased holdings and the Sui blockchain’s expanding ecosystem are key factors that could drive demand for the token in the coming months [1]. Analysts are closely monitoring the price action and on-chain metrics to assess the potential for a sustained recovery [3]. The combination of institutional support, technological advancements, and growing DeFi adoption positions SUI as a key player in the evolving crypto market.
