Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - June 2, 2026) - SOL Strategies Inc. (CSE: HODL) (NASDAQ: STKE) ("SOL Strategies" or the "Company"), a digital asset infrastructure company focused on high performance blockchain and privacy technologies, today announced the closing of its previously disclosed acquisition of HoudiniSwap LLC ("Houdini"), a non-custodial, privacy-focused cross-chain swap aggregator, for a total purchase price of USD $18 million, payable in a combination of cash and common shares of the Company (the "Acquisition").

The Acquisition was first disclosed on May 4, 2026. For SOL Strategies, the closing represents another layer added to what the Company is building on Solana: validator infrastructures, liquid staking, and now an established transactional business with nearly three years of growing revenue and approximately $2.5 billion in cumulative swap volume.

"HoudiniSwap gives us something we didn't have before: a high-volume consumer-facing product that benefits directly from a growing demand for privacy solutions and cross-chain portability," said Michael Hubbard, CEO of SOL Strategies. "Financial markets are moving on-chain faster than most people expected. We're building the infrastructure to be there when they arrive, at the validator level, at the staking level, and now at the point of the transaction itself. Houdini brings a valued team that has built a profitable and widely distributed product that we anticipate will have synergies with other parts of our company."

Acquisition Terms

The Company paid the following considerations at closing:

• USD $7mm in cash

• USD $4mm in common shares of the Company, price based on a 90 day volume-weighted average price, resulting in 2,812,301 common shares issued at closing.

The cash component was financed via decentralized finance protocols on Solana using the company's balance sheet, without selling treasury SOL.

The Company has agreed to pay an additional USD $5.75mm in cash on December 1, 2026, and an indemnity holdback of USD $1.25mm payable over 18 months. The common shares issued at closing are subject to a statutory 4-month hold period. The Acquisition also includes a two-year earn-out of up to USD $10mm, tied to Adjusted EBITDA performance above a USD $ 2.5 million annual threshold.

A.G.P./Alliance Global Partners, acquisition advisor to the Company, will receive USD $500,000 in fees in connection with the Acquisition, as well as 200,000 common share purchase warrants exercisable for a period of three years from issuance, exercisable at CAD $1.91.

Canaccord Genuity Corp., advisor to the Vendors, will receive USD $100,000 in common share purchase warrants exercisable for a period of two years at an exercise price of CAD $1.61, being the closing price of the common shares on the CSE on April 30, 2026.
