Digital asset companies Galaxy Digital, Multicoin Capital and Jump Crypto are reportedly working to raise $1 billion to buy Solana.
A Bloomberg report citing anonymous sources said on Monday that the three companies are looking to form the largest treasury dedicated to Solana ($SOL). It added that the three companies have tapped Cantor Fitzgerald as lead banker.
The plan reportedly involves taking over a publicly traded entity to create a digital asset treasury company focused on $SOL. Bloomberg said that the Solana Foundation has endorsed the efforts of the three companies, backing the treasury move.
