Forward Industries Engages IBN to Enhance Communications Strategy Amid Solana Treasury Expansion
Forward Industries has partnered with IBN to strengthen its corporate communications while managing one of the largest Solana treasuries among public companies, positioning itself as an institutional gateway to the Solana ecosystem.
Forward Industries has engaged InvestorBrandNetwork (IBN), a multifaceted financial news and publishing firm serving private and public entities, to enhance its corporate communications strategy. The company manages one of the largest Solana treasuries among public firms, holding over 6.87 million SOL as of October 15, 2025. This substantial position represents approximately $1.59 billion deployed into SOL at a net cost of $232.08 per token.
The strategic importance of this treasury management extends beyond simple asset holding. Nearly all of Forward Industries' Solana holdings are staked through native Solana infrastructure, generating over 1,000 SOL in daily revenue. This institutional-grade validator operation, conducted in partnership with DoubleZero, delivers a 7.01% gross annual percentage yield. The staking revenue provides a consistent income stream while supporting the security and operations of the Solana network.
Forward Industries' position in the cryptocurrency space is further strengthened by backing from prominent digital asset investors including Multicoin Capital, Galaxy Digital and Jump Crypto. These partnerships provide both financial support and strategic guidance in navigating the evolving digital asset landscape. The company's approach represents a significant shift in how public companies can leverage blockchain technology for treasury management and corporate strategy.
In a parallel development, Forward Industries is tokenizing its common stock on Solana through a partnership with Superstate. This initiative enables 24/7 trading and real-time settlement of company shares, positioning Forward Industries as an institutional gateway to the Solana ecosystem. The tokenization of traditional equity on blockchain networks represents a fundamental shift in capital markets infrastructure, potentially increasing liquidity and accessibility for investors.
The engagement with IBN comes at a critical juncture as Forward Industries expands its Solana treasury operations. Effective communication about these complex financial strategies and blockchain initiatives becomes increasingly important for maintaining investor confidence and market transparency.

Forward Industries initiated its Solana treasury strategy in September 2025, dedicating resources to acquiring SOL and increasing SOL-per-share through bespoke strategies and active management of the company's treasury. This approach reflects growing corporate interest in digital assets as treasury instruments, moving beyond traditional cash and bond holdings. The company's strategy demonstrates how public companies can leverage blockchain technology for both treasury management and corporate development.
