Bit Mining plans $300M Solana treasury shift
Bit Mining Limited has announced a strategic expansion into the Solana (CRYPTO:SOL) ecosystem, outlining plans to establish a treasury of SOL tokens valued at up to $300 million.
The NYSE-listed company aims to capture opportunities across the blockchain value chain and attract investors interested in Solana.
According to the announcement, Bit Mining will leverage Solana’s infrastructure and developer community to drive innovation and create shareholder value.
The company intends to raise between $200 million and $300 million in phases, depending on market conditions, to fund the accumulation of SOL tokens through capital deployment and incremental purchases.
Bit Mining will initially convert existing cryptocurrency holdings into SOL as part of a long-term holding strategy.
The company also plans to participate more deeply in the Solana ecosystem, including operating validator nodes to support network security and earn staking rewards over time.
“The move reflects the company’s commitment to adaptability in the evolving blockchain industry.” CEO Xianfeng Yang said, and expressed confidence in accelerating sustainable growth and shareholder value through this strategy.
This shift follows a similar move by Bitmine Immersion, which recently transitioned to Ethereum, highlighting a trend among publicly traded mining firms diversifying their blockchain exposure.
Bit Mining currently operates in cryptocurrency mining, data centre management, and mining machine manufacturing.
The company holds 7nm BTC chip designs and develops miners for Litecoin (CRYPTO:LTC), Dogecoin (CRYPTO:DOGE), and Ethereum classic (CRYPTO:ETC).
The decision to build a significant SOL treasury reflects Bit Mining’s recognition of Solana’s growing role in decentralized finance and its potential for long-term value appreciation.
By integrating with Solana, Bit Mining seeks to position itself within a growing blockchain ecosystem while supporting network operations and exploring new revenue streams.
At the time of reporting, Solana price was $163.72.

Morgan Stanley believes that the recent sell-off in the semiconductor sector has been excessive, and that market panic rather than fundamentals is the biggest risk. Driven by demand for AI infrastructure, downstream orders continue to accelerate, with semiconductor supply remaining the core bottleneck. LPS constraints actually make growth more stable. The sector may fluctuate within a range in the short term and is currently near the bottom; prospects for the computing power and storage subsectors are favorable.

Hashrate orders are booming, why is "AI trading" falling out of favor? JPMorgan reveals the time lag between AI investment and productivity realization
Joseph Lupton from the JP Morgan Global Economic Research Team pointed out in a research report on November 10 that recent improvements in labor productivity have been driven more by capital deepening and increased intensity of factor utilization. The broad efficiency gains from AI, resulting from process reconstruction, data integration, and organizational adjustments, will still take time to materialize. This means orders for chips, servers, and electrical equipment may grow first, but continuous investment returns for computing power operators and end users may not arrive at the same pace.
AI investment enters the "Trough of Disillusionment", the next 18 months will be a life-or-death test!
Goldman Sachs believes that the AI investment cycle is currently in the "trough of disillusionment," but this is not the first time. The core contradiction lies in the fact that the business models of new cloud computing providers are highly dependent on end-user returns from AI spending, while currently "there are basically zero companies that can attribute profits to AI." Social Capital founder Palihapitiya has clearly defined an 18-month key window, during which the market will decide which AI business models are sustainable and which are not.
