Forward Industries, a Nasdaq-listed company holding the world's largest corporate Solana reserves, has secured a $40 million loan from Galaxy Digital using its SOL holdings as collateral. The company used $27.4 million from this facility to repurchase 6.16 million shares, reducing outstanding shares by approximately 7%. Forward Industries holds 7.01 million SOL as of March 2026. The loan, with a 3.4% annual interest rate and 4.9-month maturity, is secured by staked SOL, allowing the company to maintain its cryptocurrency holdings whilst accessing liquidity. The share buyback is part of a $1 billion programme approved in November 2025. According to SEC filings, the repurchase improved SOL holdings per share by 29% on an annualised basis, effectively increasing shareholders' proportional stake in the company's cryptocurrency assets without reducing total holdings.
Galaxy's massive AI bet could redefine crypto's future. April 9, 2026 Crypto Economy general Galaxy reports over $15B planned AI infrastructure investment linked to its Helios data center, which now exceeds 1.6 GW capacity in West Texas. The company releases its first Nasdaq annual report after eight years in crypto and digital finance, detailing regulated rails, custody, and tokenization strategies. Key takeaways. Galaxy Digital's substantial fifteen billion dollar commitment to artificial intelligence infrastructure represents a transformative development in cryptocurrency and blockchain technology advancement. The strategic initiative centers on the Helios data center facility positioned in West Texas, which has achieved operational capacity exceeding 1.6 gigawatts of computing power. This significant expansion demonstrates institutional confidence in digital assets and demonstrates how traditional finance infrastructure increasingly supports cryptocurrency ecosystem growth. The company's inaugural Nasdaq annual report, filed following its eight year tenure in crypto and digital finance sectors, highlights critical operational pillars including regulated compliance frameworks, digital asset custody solutions, and blockchain tokenization methodologies. Galaxy's infrastructure investment aligns with broader industry trends toward practical cryptocurrency applications and institutional adoption. The expansion of data center capabilities suggests growing demand for computational resources supporting blockchain networks, artificial intelligence applications, and digital finance operations. This development signals how major financial institutions are positioning themselves to capitalize on cryptocurrency's technological evolution while maintaining regulatory compliance standards. The strategic pivot underscores cryptocurrency's transition from speculative asset class toward foundational digital infrastructure supporting enterprise and institutional operations across multiple sectors.
Galaxy Digital disclosed a cybersecurity incident in an isolated research and development environment, confirming that client assets remained unaffected. The digital asset firm also launched two new products expanding its blockchain infrastructure offerings.

Additionally, Galaxy Digital expanded its GalaxyOne platform to include Solana staking, allowing eligible clients to earn staking rewards through their existing portfolio setup. The developments position Galaxy Digital at the intersection of traditional finance and blockchain services, connecting public equity, DeFi collateral and staking within a single ecosystem. The moves aim to build recurring revenue through tokenisation and staking whilst addressing institutional demands for operational simplicity and integrated reporting tools.

The breach resulted in minimal financial impact, with losses reportedly under $10,000 a figure the company described as immaterial. Key takeaways.
