SkyAI, formerly known as Sharps Technology, has sold its complete treasury of Solana tokens to finance a new cash tender offer. The company is offering to purchase up to 95% of its outstanding shares and warrants from investors.
Why it matters
The move marks a total reversal of the firm's 2025 strategy to build a treasury centered on digital assets. By liquidating these volatile holdings, the company is pivoting to provide direct cash liquidity to its shareholders.
SkyAI reported $223.8 million in cash as of October 16 to support its offer of $3 per share and $2.9999 per warrant. This tender process, which seeks 95% of eligible shares, follows the complete liquidation of a position that stood at 2 million Solana tokens on September 14.
The players
SkyAI
Formerly known as Sharps Technology, this publicly traded company is listed on the Nasdaq exchange.
The details
After liquidating its remaining holdings, SkyAI removed a previous requirement that mandated it keep Solana tokens while the asset price stayed above $100. The firm confirms it intends to maintain its listing on the Nasdaq exchange once this tender offer period concludes.
Timeline
SkyAI adopted a Solana-focused treasury strategy in 2025.
The company held 2 million Solana tokens as of September 14, 2026.
Holdings dropped to 600,000 tokens on October 11, 2026.
The tender offer officially launched on October 16, 2026.
The tender offer is scheduled to expire on October 30, 2026.
Market Dynamics
The move follows standard SEC tender offer regulations that govern how publicly traded companies must structure share buybacks to protect shareholder interests. This pivot reflects a broader trend of firms re-evaluating aggressive corporate crypto-treasury strategies in favor of traditional capital return programs.
Investors holding shares or warrants now have until October 30 to decide whether to participate in the buyback at the established offer prices. Those who choose not to tender their holdings will remain invested in the company as it continues its operations on the Nasdaq.
The takeaway
Companies that pivot their treasury strategies often do so to signal a shift toward stability for their shareholders. Investors should review the specific terms of the tender offer carefully before the expiration date to determine if the cash payout aligns with their portfolio goals.
What happens next
The tender offer for SkyAI shares and warrants is scheduled to expire on October 30, 2026.
