• New infrastructure move supports growing staking revenue model

Special Report: After delivering a breakout quarter of staking revenue and a 23 per cent reduction in costs, DigitalX (ASX: DCC) is wasting no time capitalising on its momentum – this time by locking in a global Solana validator partnership.

Globally, DigitalX now ranks among the top listed companies holding Solana (SOL), with 83,206 SOL on its balance sheet, positioning itself as a differentiated vehicle for investors seeking Solana yield exposure.

The strategic agreement with SOL Strategies Inc., a Canadian Solana infrastructure provider, cements the company’s decision to support and scale its Solana (SOL) staking activities – one of the most actively traded and staked tokens in the proof-of-stake blockchain ecosystem.

The deal provides DigitalX with institutional-grade access to secure, yield-optimised Solana staking infrastructure, powered through BitGo – one of the world’s most trusted digital asset custodians.

Infrastructure meets scale

SOL Strategies is part of a small, elite cohort of global institutional validators. Their integration with BitGo’s custody platform gives DigitalX (ASX:DCC) the ability to expand its Solana exposure in a compliant, secure and scalable way.

For investors, the deal signals that DigitalX is serious about staking – not as a crypto side hustle, but as a core business model aimed at generating sustainable returns.

“Partnering with SOL Strategies reflects our commitment to aligning with best-in-class infrastructure providers,” said Demetrios Christou, Interim CEO of DigitalX.

“Their proven performance, strong security and BitGo integration made this an ideal choice as we expand our Solana exposure.”

Staking momentum builds

The move comes on the back of a strong March quarter, where DigitalX reported $318,000 in staking revenue – a result underpinned by its increased Solana holdings, which are now valued at approximately $22.7 million, and improved validator performance.

With cost reductions also delivering a more scalable business, the company is now doubling down on infrastructure plays like this to drive recurring yield – particularly attractive in a market where volatility remains, but institutional appetite is growing.

A differentiated crypto fund strategy

As the only ASX-listed digital asset manager providing direct Solana exposure, DigitalX offers investors rare access to the high-growth Solana ecosystem. In addition, DigitalX manages Australia’s first ASX-listed spot Bitcoin ETF (ASX: BTXX). It’s a unique mix of direct crypto exposure, staking yields and institutional-grade custody that puts it in a rare category of public crypto players globally.

The SOL Strategies partnership reinforces DigitalX’s competitive positioning – giving investors exposure to emerging blockchain infrastructure alongside traditional digital asset performance.

As institutional interest in Solana-based ecosystems continues to grow, DigitalX is now positioned to extract value from one of the fastest-growing chains – while offering compliant, professional-grade exposure for its investor base.
