SoFi CEO enters prepaid forward contract on 1.5 million shares
BOCA RATON, FL - Janover Inc. (NASDAQ: JNVR), an AI-powered platform for the commercial real estate industry with a market capitalization of $39.11 million, has announced its first major foray into the cryptocurrency market with a $4.6 million purchase of Solana (SOL). The acquisition, made under the company's new digital asset treasury strategy, will see Janover immediately begin staking its SOL holdings to generate revenue and support the Solana network. According to InvestingPro data, the company maintains a healthy current ratio of 5.52, indicating strong short-term liquidity to support this strategic move.
The investment represents the initial allocation of capital from Janover's recent $42 million financing round. The company's CEO, Joseph Onorati, emphasized the move as part of Janover's goal to become "the most efficient and transparent vehicle for crypto accumulation in the public markets." Onorati highlighted the swift action taken post-restructuring to execute the SOL purchase as reflective of the company's commitment. The company's stock has shown remarkable momentum, with InvestingPro data revealing a 463.95% year-to-date return, though investors should note the company reported an EBITDA of -$2.7 million in the last twelve months.
On April 4, 2025, Janover's Board of Directors approved the new treasury policy which authorizes the long-term accumulation of crypto assets, starting with Solana. The company also plans to operate Solana validators, which will enable it to stake its treasury assets, participate in securing the network, and earn rewards for reinvestment.
Parker White, COO & CIO of Janover, stated that the conditions in the market were favorable for initiating their cryptocurrency strategy and expressed plans to continue building their SOL position as they scale their operations.
Further details regarding the transaction will be disclosed in Janover's upcoming regulatory filings. The company, which serves over one million web users annually, offers data and software subscriptions and value-add services to stakeholders in the multifamily and commercial property sectors.
The press release also contained forward-looking statements, cautioning that actual results may vary due to market fluctuations, regulatory changes, and other risks. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to uncertainties.

In other recent news, Janover Inc. has made headlines with a significant shift in its treasury strategy, incorporating digital assets, particularly the Solana token. This strategic pivot follows a majority acquisition by a consortium of crypto industry leaders and has been met with notable enthusiasm from the market. The company raised approximately $42 million through convertible notes and warrants, with participation from investment firms like Pantera Capital, Kraken, and Arrington Capital. The notes, maturing in 2030, have a 2.5% annual interest rate and are convertible into common stock once Janover's market capitalization reaches $100 million.
In another development, Janover successfully regained compliance with Nasdaq's minimum closing bid price requirement. The company fulfilled the condition of maintaining a minimum bid price of $1.00 per share for at least ten consecutive trading days. This compliance achievement was confirmed by Nasdaq's Listing Qualifications Department. The compliance news comes after Janover was previously notified of non-compliance in July 2024. These recent developments mark a transformative phase for Janover as it ventures into the digital asset space while maintaining its standing on the Nasdaq.
