Forward Industries, the largest institutional holder of Solana (SOL), is experiencing nearly $1 billion in unrealized losses due to a significant drop in SOL's price. According to NS3.AI, the cryptocurrency's value has decreased by approximately 62% from the company's average purchase price. This decline has adversely affected Forward Industries' balance sheet and stock price. Despite these challenges, the company remains committed to its long-term strategy, aspiring to become the 'Berkshire Hathaway of the Solana ecosystem.'
The situation highlights broader issues within the digital asset treasury model, as other similar firms are also reporting paper losses. These challenges come amid ongoing efforts to develop the ecosystem, including initiatives like the launch of Solana Payments.
