- VisionSys AI announced a $2B Solana treasury strategy, starting with $500M in staking over six months.
- The firm is partnering with Marinade, Solana’s largest staking operator with $2.2B TVL.
- Solana treasury firms now hold over $3B in SOL, signaling rising institutional interest beyond Bitcoin
Beijing-based VisionSys AI (VSA), a publicly traded brain-machine interface and AI firm, has become the latest company to join the Solana treasury movement. On Wednesday, the company announced a bold $2 billion digital asset strategy centered on Solana, starting with plans to acquire and stake $500 million in SOL over the next six months.
VisionSys AI’s Big Treasury Play
The initiative will be spearheaded by VisionSys subsidiary Medintel Technology and executed in partnership with Marinade, Solana’s leading staking operator. With over $2.2 billion in total value locked, Marinade will help VisionSys generate yield from its massive Solana position. The firm also appointed Hakob Sirounian, an early Solana backer, as chief strategy officer to lead blockchain and decentralized technology efforts.
Solana Market Reaction
SOL responded strongly to the announcement, rallying 6% to $219 during a broader crypto market surge. Despite VisionSys shares dropping 20% in premarket trading, the stock has already risen more than 300% since April, showing strong investor appetite for the company’s pivot toward blockchain.
Corporate Balance Sheets Pivot to DeFi
VisionSys AI now joins a roster of public firms using crypto as a treasury and yield-generation vehicle. Early adopters like Michael Saylor’s Strategy (MSTR) proved the playbook with Bitcoin, while others have expanded into Ethereum and Solana. Collectively, Solana-focused treasury firms including Forward Industries, Defi Development, and Upexi hold more than $3 billion in SOL, highlighting a growing trend of institutional adoption beyond Bitcoin.
Final Thoughts
With VisionSys committing billions and teaming up with Marinade, Solana’s case as a yield-generating treasury asset just got a major credibility boost. If more corporations follow this model, SOL could see increasing demand as both a reserve and an income-producing digital asset.
