Digital Commodities buys C$100,000 of Solana for treasury

Vancouver-based Digital Commodities Inc. has acquired approximately C$100,000 worth of Solana cryptocurrency to bolster its treasury, according to a press release. This investment, representing roughly 5% of the company's estimated net asset value as of September 28, 2026, was made possible by selling a portion of the firm's physical gold reserves.

Digital Commodities has embraced a dual-tiered digital asset treasury strategy. The first tier consists of 11 Bitcoin holdings and cash, while the second tier is dedicated to digital assets that management believes could benefit from artificial intelligence-driven blockchain utilization.

CEO Brayden Sutton explained that the company's decision to invest in Solana stems from its anticipated utility in programmable finance, stablecoins, tokenization, and transaction processing. The company emphasized that this allocation is contingent on Solana's capacity to translate network activity into value generation, such as transaction fee capture or network settlement demand.

Management highlighted that the company will refrain from further AI-infrastructure allocations without obtaining separate Board approval and disclosure. Digital Commodities also maintains strategic investments in both public and private entities and plans to periodically review the composition and sizing of each treasury tier by the Board.
