SkyAI Has liquidated all SOL holdings and launched a share and warrant repurchase

Article

Former No. 5 largest SOL treasury company makes an aggressive strategic pivot and liquidates its SOL holdings; 1 months earlier, it had reaffirmed its “SOL treasury strategy”

BlockBeats reports that October 19, formerly Sharps Technology,SkyAI recently underwent a radical strategic reversal. The company has fully liquidated its Solana（SOL) reserves to fund a repurchase program for its shares and warrants, changing from what was once the fifth-largest Solana treasury company to having zero holdings.

According to a statement released by SkyAI on Monday, as of October 16, the company held approximately 223800000 USD in cash and had “completed the sale of all SOL.” Under the repurchase program,SkyAI offered to repurchase, at 3 USD per share or warrant, 95%of outstanding shares. If the repurchase is fully subscribed, the company will retain approximately 22500000 USD before deducting related expenses. In addition, because it no longer holds SOL, the company also removed the repurchase condition originally requiring the SOL price to remain above 100 USD.

This liquidation appears highly rapid and abrupt. As recently as September 14，SkyAI, it reaffirmed its Solana treasury strategy and claimed to hold more than 2000000 SOL. However,October 11's repurchase announcement disclosed that it had sold approximately 1000000 SOL, and subsequent SEC filings showed that its remaining balance was only approximately 600000. This rapid sell-off drew strong dissatisfaction from major shareholder Bastion Trading, which holds nearly SkyAI of 10%shares. It called for an independent review and explicitly stated that it would not participate in the repurchase under the current proposed terms. Bastion demanded that the repurchase price be raised to 3.5 USD per share, restrictions be imposed on insiders, and strategic advisers’ warrants be excluded from the repurchase.

Despite liquidating its crypto assets,SkyAI still describes its business as “building a financial platform that combines Solana stablecoin rails on AI with ”; however, Monday’s announcement did not state whether the company intends to rebuild its SOL treasury or provide any update on the platform. The company only said it plans to maintain its Nasdaq listing after the repurchase is completed. As of the latest trading day,SkyAI（SKYA) shares rose 4.5%on the day to 2.77 USD, bringing the year-to-date gain to 35%.

AI-assisted interpretation

The following is analysis, separate from reported facts. Verify important claims independently.

The company previously treated SOL as a treasury asset and now says it has sold it all, intending to use the proceeds to repurchase most of its outstanding shares and warrants. Meanwhile, major shareholder Bastion Trading opposes the current repurchase terms, demanding a higher price and an independent review.

Why it matters to readers

The liquidation means SkyAI no longer holds the previously disclosed SOL treasury; the repurchase could also materially alter its outstanding securities and cash position. Major shareholder opposition to the terms leaves uncertainty over whether the repurchase can be completed under the current plan.
