Shares of Janover Inc. ( JNVR ) are trading higher Thursday following the company's announcement that it purchased approximately $4.6 million worth of Solana (CRYPTO: SOL).

What To Know: Janover ( JNVR ) said it purchased Solana as its first move under its newly adopted digital asset treasury strategy. The company, which recently raised $42 million in a financing round, stated that it will begin staking its Solana holdings immediately.

This move is intended to generate revenue while contributing to the security of the Solana blockchain network. The purchase was authorized under a new treasury policy approved by Janover's ( JNVR ) board on April 4, which allows for long-term accumulation of crypto assets, starting with Solana.

“After building in the crypto industry for more than a decade, we are at a tipping point in mass DeFi adoption. We’re proud to be the first to introduce a digital asset treasury strategy in the US public markets initially focused on Solana,” Onorati said.
