Forward Industries, Inc., the design firm turned Solana-focused treasury company, today announced an automatic shelf registration and an at-the-market (ATM) equity offering program that could raise up to $4 billion in common stock sales.

Under the newly filed registration (Form S-3, File No. 333-290312), Forward has included an ATM prospectus that covers the potential sale of shares (the “ATM Shares”) through Cantor Fitzgerald & Co., which is acting as sales agent under a Sales Agreement dated September 16, 2025.

Sales made under the program would be conducted as “at the market offerings” under Rule 415(a)(4) of the Securities Act and, according to the agreement, Cantor will use commercially reasonable efforts to sell shares on mutually agreed terms, but is not obliged to sell any specific number or dollar amount.

Accelerating Solana Treasury Strategy

Forward says any net proceeds from the ATM Program, if realized, will be used for general corporate purposes, including working capital; advancing its Solana token (SOL) strategy; buying income-generating assets to grow the business; and other capital expenditures. The company’s move follows its September 2025 decision to pursue a dedicated Solana treasury strategy and its initial purchases of more than 6.8 million SOL.

“Through this offering, Forward Industries gains a flexible and efficient mechanism to raise and methodically deploy capital in support of our Solana treasury strategy,” said Kyle Samani, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Forward Industries. “Having recently completed the largest Solana-focused digital asset treasury raise to date and initial purchases of more than 6.8 million SOL, the ATM Program enhances our ability to continue scaling that position, strengthen our balance sheet, and pursue growth initiatives in alignment with our long-term vision.”

The ATM Shares, if sold, will be offered pursuant to Forward’s automatic shelf registration statement, which the company says became effective upon filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on September 17, 2025. The company noted there is no arrangement for funds to be held in escrow, trust or a similar arrangement in connection with the program.

Forward Industries highlighted that its Solana treasury strategy is backed by leading investors and operating partners, including Galaxy Digital, Jump Crypto and Multicoin Capital. The company, a global design firm that has worked with top medical and technology companies for more than 60 years, said the initiative is aimed at increasing SOL-per-share through bespoke strategies and active treasury management.

SEC Backs Nasdaq, CBOE, NYSE Push to Simplify Crypto ETF Rules

SEC Backs Nasdaq, CBOE, NYSE Push to Simplify Crypto ETF Rules

The US SEC on Wednesday approved new listing rules for major exchanges, paving the way for a surge of crypto spot exchange-traded funds. On Wednesday, the regulator voted to let Nasdaq, Cboe BZX and NYSE Arca adopt generic listing standards for commodity-based trust shares. The decision clears the final hurdle for asset managers seeking to launch spot ETFs tied to cryptocurrencies beyond Bitcoin and Ether. In July, the SEC outlined how exchanges could bring new products to market under the framework. Asset managers and exchanges must now meet specific criteria, but will no longer need to undergo drawn-out case-by-case reviews. Solana And XRP Funds Seen to Be First In Line Under the new system, the time from filing to launch can shrink to as little as 75 days, compared with up to 240 days or more under the old rules. “This is the crypto ETP framework we’ve been waiting for,” Bloomberg research analyst James Seyffart said on X, predicting a wave of new products in the coming months. The first filings likely to benefit are those tracking Solana and XRP, both of which have sat in limbo for more than a year. SEC Chair Paul Atkins said the approval reflects a commitment to reduce barriers and foster innovation while maintaining investor protections. The move comes under the administration of President Donald Trump, which has signaled strong support for digital assets after years of hesitation during the Biden era. New Standards Replace Lengthy Reviews And Repeated Denials Until now, the commission reviewed each application separately, requiring one filing from the exchange and another from the asset manager. This dual process often dragged on for months and led to repeated denials. Even Bitcoin spot ETFs, finally approved in Jan. 2024, arrived only after years of resistance and a legal battle with Grayscale. According to Bloomberg ETF analyst Eric Balchunas, the streamlined rules could apply to any cryptocurrency with at least six months of futures trading on the Coinbase Derivatives Exchange. That means more than a dozen tokens may now qualify for listing, potentially unleashing a new wave of altcoin ETFs. SEC Clears Grayscale Large Cap Fund Tracking CoinDesk 5 Index The SEC also approved the Grayscale Digital Large Cap Fund, which tracks the CoinDesk 5 Index, including Bitcoin, Ether, XRP, Solana and Cardano. Alongside this, it cleared the launch of options linked to the Cboe Bitcoin US ETF Index and its mini contract, broadening the set of crypto-linked derivatives on regulated US markets. Analysts say the shift shows how far US policy has moved. Where once regulators resisted digital assets, the latest changes show a growing willingness to bring them into the mainstream financial system under established safeguards
