Taren Point, Australia, Sept. 24, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Fitell Corporation (NASDAQ: FTEL) ("FTEL" or the "Company"), today announced its initial acquisition of 46,144 Solana (SOL) for approximately $10 million, marking the first strategic purchase under the Company's previously announced Solana treasury initiative.
"This initial $10 million purchase, in one day following our $100 million financing announcement, manifests FTEL's execution and commitment to our newly launched Solana treasury strategy" said Sam Lu, Chief Executive Officer of FTEL. "With committed institutional support, we look forward to expanding our SOL position, in addition to growing staking revenue, and drive long-term value for shareholders."
The SOL purchase follows the first closing under the Company's $100 million facility. FTEL intends to make additional SOL purchases using a significant portion of net proceeds from the first closing. Under the terms of the facility, at least 70% of the net proceeds from each subsequent closing will be allocated to cryptocurrency acquisitions for the Company's treasury reserve, with the remainder to be used for broader crypto operations, on-chain initiatives, and working capital.
FTEL will provide periodic updates as it expands its treasury reserve.
