Nasdaq-Listed Forward Expands Solana Strategy and Tokenized Shares
Forward Industries, Inc. (NASDAQ: FWDI) has released an update on its solana treasury and recent operational milestones, reporting liquid holdings of more than 6.97 million SOL as of January 15, 2026.
According to Forward, the company’s strategy has generated more than 133,450 SOL in staking rewards to date. This has helped increase SOL-per-share through compounding and active onchain deployment.
Ryan Navi, Chief Investment Officer of Forward Industries, said the company is focused on building a long-term, income-generating treasury by combining disciplined capital deployment with solana-native yield opportunities.
As we expand through partnerships, we’re able to participate in emerging use cases where real-world assets can function natively within DeFi, while continuing to leverage Solana’s unmatched performance, liquidity, and economic activity to build a durable, income-generating treasury that creates long-term value for shareholders.
Beyond treasury growth, Forward highlighted two notable operational developments announced in December. The company’s SEC-registered shares are now live on the Solana blockchain, marking the first time a public company’s equity can be used directly within DeFi applications. Forward also began testing its proprietary automated market maker, known as PropAMM, on Solana.

The company said it plans to continue expanding its Solana-based operations as it explores new intersections between public markets and decentralized finance.
