SOL Strategies Launches Ecosystem Reserve Strategy with 52,181 JTO Tokens

SOL Strategies, a publicly traded Solana infrastructure company, has launched a new ecosystem reserve strategy, with Jito as the first token. The company, based in Canada, announced on June 26 that its Strategic Ecosystem Reserve (SER) is designed to support top blockchain projects within the Solana (SOL) ecosystem. As an initial move, SOL Strategies has acquired 52,181 Jito (JTO) tokens for the reserve. JTO, the native and governance token of the Jito network, is a project that the company has identified as a key player in the Solana ecosystem.

Jito currently leads the Solana ecosystem as the top maximal extractable value (MEV) infrastructure and liquid staking provider. The total value locked in Jito is significant, with its MEV-optimized infrastructure and decentralized finance integrations playing a crucial role in the Solana ecosystem.

SOL Strategies, formerly known as Cypherpunk Holdings Inc, rebranded in September 2024 to focus on SOL. In addition to its latest acquisition, the company was the first-ever Jito validator on the Solana mainnet in October 2022. The investment and partnership with Jito align with SOL Strategies' vision for the Solana network. Leah Wald, the chief executive officer of SOL Strategies, emphasized that the move to establish the SER is not just about accumulating cryptocurrency tokens but about strategically backing projects that contribute to the growth and performance of the Solana network and ecosystem.

Wald stated, “We’re not just investing in tokens — we’re investing in the infrastructure that is driving transaction processing for millions of Solana users while backing a team that is instrumental in driving forward innovation within the ecosystem.” SOL Strategies plans to use a portion of its validator revenue to fund the SER, allowing the company to support leading ecosystem infrastructure projects while maintaining its core SOL treasury. Future plans include support for other projects across the Solana network.

Earlier this month, SOL Strategies released its second quarter 2025 financial results and its May corporate update. The report indicated that validator revenue increased by 151% quarter-on-quarter in Q2 2025, and the company held 420,706.82 SOL as of June 2, 2025. This financial performance underscores the company's commitment to supporting the Solana ecosystem and its strategic investments in key projects like Jito.
