  4. SkyAI Exits Solana Holdings, Boosts Cash Tender Offer to $214.3M — this brief

SkyAI has finalized the sale of approximately 2 million SOL, converting its Solana holdings into around $223 million in cash. This strategic move marks the end of the company's digital-asset treasury strategy.

Following the sale, SkyAI has expanded its cash tender offer to $214.3 million. This increase comes after the company settled with Bastion Trading, which agreed to tender all its shares and warrants and accept a three-year standstill.

The decision to exit its Solana position and increase its cash holdings could be influenced by the current market conditions and the need for liquidity. The move is notable given the recent volatility in the crypto market.

According to on-chain data from DeFiLlama, the circulating supply of cash for SkyAI now stands at $128.2 million, indicating a significant portion of the proceeds from the SOL sale has been allocated to the tender offer.

The broader crypto market remains relatively stable, with a total market cap of $2.76 trillion. Bitcoin is trading flat at -0.02% over the past 24 hours, while Solana, despite the large sale, has seen only a minor price change of +0.14% over the same period.
