Upexi, Inc. (NASDAQ: UPXI) has announced a new risk‑adjusted high‑yield strategy for its digital‑asset treasury, coupled with a 3.2% increase in Solana holdings. The company now holds 2,174,583 SOL as of January 5 2026, up from 2,106,989 SOL on October 31 2025. The move is designed to generate higher staking returns while maintaining a prudent risk profile, thereby aligning treasury activities with the company’s broader objective of creating long‑term shareholder value.
The announcement also disclosed a share‑repurchase program in which Upexi bought 416,226 shares at an average price of $1.92. In addition, CEO Allan Marshall purchased 200,000 shares in December, underscoring management’s confidence in the company’s valuation and future prospects. The repurchase program is part of a broader $50 million share‑buyback initiative authorized in November 2025, aimed at returning capital to shareholders while supporting the stock’s long‑term growth trajectory.
Upexi’s decision to shift its treasury strategy comes against a backdrop of significant financial headwinds. Q3 2025 revenue fell 39% year‑over‑year to $15.8 million, and the company posted a net loss of $13.7 million for the fiscal year. The consumer‑brands segment has struggled, prompting a restructuring effort that has focused on cost discipline and operational efficiency. By increasing its Solana exposure and pursuing higher‑yield staking, Upexi seeks to offset the decline in consumer‑product revenue with a more stable, digital‑asset‑based income stream.
CEO Allan Marshall explained that the new strategy “will increase total yield while maintaining a prudent risk profile and creating long‑term shareholder value.” He added that the company’s focus on Solana—an ecosystem known for high performance, low transaction costs, and rapid developer adoption—provides a compelling platform for generating consistent staking rewards. The risk‑adjusted approach is intended to balance potential upside with volatility, ensuring that the treasury remains resilient in a challenging market environment.
Market reaction to the announcement has been mixed. Cantor Fitzgerald reduced its price target for Upexi from $16 to $6 but retained an “Overweight” rating, reflecting confidence in the company’s long‑term strategy despite valuation concerns. The stock had posted a 35.71% return over the past week, yet it remains down 48.3% over the past year, indicating that investors are weighing the potential upside of the new treasury strategy against the company’s recent financial performance.
Looking ahead, the high‑yield strategy and increased Solana holdings position Upexi to generate a more predictable income stream from its digital‑asset portfolio. The share‑repurchase program signals management’s commitment to returning capital, while the CEO’s personal purchases reinforce confidence in the company’s valuation. Together, these moves suggest that Upexi is actively reshaping its capital structure and risk profile to navigate a volatile consumer‑product market and to capitalize on the growth potential of the Solana ecosystem.
