Shares of Sharps Technology Inc ( STSS ) have surged 130% over the past five trading sessions. The company this week unveiled a strategic plan to raise over $400 million through a private placement to establish a digital asset treasury focused on Solana (CRYPTO: SOL).

What To Know: The transaction, structured at $6.50 per unit, is backed by prominent firms including ParaFi, Pantera, FalconX and Republic Digital.

How To Buy STSS Stock

Besides going to a brokerage platform to purchase a share – or fractional share – of stock, you can also gain access to shares either by buying an exchange traded fund (ETF) that holds the stock itself, or by allocating yourself to a strategy in your 401(k) that would seek to acquire shares in a mutual fund or other instrument.

For example, in Sharps Technology’s case, it is in the Health Care sector. An ETF will likely hold shares in many liquid and large companies that help track that sector, allowing an investor to gain exposure to the trends within that segment.
