Forward Industries Files $4 Billion ATM Offering to Boost Solana Treasury

Forward Industries, Inc., the design firm turned Solana-focused treasury company, today announced an automatic shelf registration and an at-the-market (ATM) equity offering program that could raise up to $4 billion in common stock sales.

Under the newly filed registration (Form S-3, File No. 333-290312), Forward has included an ATM prospectus that covers the potential sale of shares (the “ATM Shares”) through Cantor Fitzgerald & Co., which is acting as sales agent under a Sales Agreement dated September 16, 2025.

Sales made under the program would be conducted as “at the market offerings” under Rule 415(a)(4) of the Securities Act and, according to the agreement, Cantor will use commercially reasonable efforts to sell shares on mutually agreed terms, but is not obliged to sell any specific number or dollar amount.

Accelerating Solana Treasury Strategy

Forward says any net proceeds from the ATM Program, if realized, will be used for general corporate purposes, including working capital; advancing its Solana token (SOL) strategy; buying income-generating assets to grow the business; and other capital expenditures. The company’s move follows its September 2025 decision to pursue a dedicated Solana treasury strategy and its initial purchases of more than 6.8 million SOL.

“Through this offering, Forward Industries gains a flexible and efficient mechanism to raise and methodically deploy capital in support of our Solana treasury strategy,” said Kyle Samani, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Forward Industries. “Having recently completed the largest Solana-focused digital asset treasury raise to date and initial purchases of more than 6.8 million SOL, the ATM Program enhances our ability to continue scaling that position, strengthen our balance sheet, and pursue growth initiatives in alignment with our long-term vision.”

The ATM Shares, if sold, will be offered pursuant to Forward’s automatic shelf registration statement, which the company says became effective upon filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on September 17, 2025. The company noted there is no arrangement for funds to be held in escrow, trust or a similar arrangement in connection with the program.

Forward Industries highlighted that its Solana treasury strategy is backed by leading investors and operating partners, including Galaxy Digital, Jump Crypto and Multicoin Capital. The company, a global design firm that has worked with top medical and technology companies for more than 60 years, said the initiative is aimed at increasing SOL-per-share through bespoke strategies and active treasury management.

Kalshi debuts ecosystem hub with Solana and Base

The post Kalshi debuts ecosystem hub with Solana and Base appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Kalshi, the US-regulated prediction market exchange, rolled out a new program on Wednesday called KalshiEco Hub. The initiative, developed in partnership with Solana and Coinbase-backed Base, is designed to attract builders, traders, and content creators to a growing ecosystem around prediction markets. By combining its regulatory footing with crypto-native infrastructure, Kalshi said it is aiming to become a bridge between traditional finance and onchain innovation. The hub offers grants, technical assistance, and marketing support to selected projects. Kalshi also announced that it will support native deposits of Solana’s SOL token and USDC stablecoin, making it easier for users already active in crypto to participate directly. Early collaborators include Kalshinomics, a dashboard for market analytics, and Verso, which is building professional-grade tools for market discovery and execution. Other partners, such as Caddy, are exploring ways to expand retail-facing trading experiences. Kalshi’s move to embrace blockchain partnerships comes at a time when prediction markets are drawing fresh attention for their ability to capture sentiment around elections, economic policy, and cultural events. Competitor Polymarket recently acquired QCEX — a derivatives exchange with a CFTC license — to pave its way back into US operations under regulatory compliance. At the same time, platforms like PredictIt continue to push for a clearer regulatory footing. The legal terrain remains complex, with some states issuing cease-and-desist orders over whether these event contracts count as gambling, not finance. This is a developing story.

Netflix, Spotify partner to bring The Ringer podcasts to video platform

Netflix, Spotify partner to bring The Ringer podcasts to video platform

The post Netflix, Spotify partner to bring The Ringer podcasts to video platform appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Jakub Porzycki | Nurphoto | Getty Images Spotify is officially bringing video podcasts to Netflix. The partnership will bring a selection of podcasts from The Ringer, a network acquired by Spotify in 2020, to the streaming company in early 2026 for U.S. users. The podcasts will range from sports to culture to true crime, aiming to both complement Netflix’s current slate and bring in new audiences, pulling from The Ringer’s lineup. The companies said more markets outside of the U.S. are in the pipeline. “This partnership marks a new chapter for podcasting,” Spotify’s Head of Podcasts Roman Wasenmüller said in a statement. “Together with Netflix, we’re expanding discovery, helping creators reach new audiences, and giving fans around the world the chance to experience the stories they love and uncover favorites they never expected. This offers more choice to creators and unlocks a completely new distribution opportunity.” Lauren Smith, Netflix’s vice president of content licensing and programming strategy, said the curated selection “adds fresh voices and new perspectives to Netflix.” The shows coming to Netflix include “The Bill Simmons Podcast,” “The Rewatchables” and “Serial Killers,” with more expected after the initial launch. Spotify said the move is the next step in evolving the company into a multimedia experience, with more initiatives planned in the future to “bring similar opportunities to a wider range of creators.” Tuesday’s announcement comes as media companies have turned to video podcasts as the next big thing among their audiences. In particular, video podcasts have soared in popularity on Google’s YouTube, which is increasingly nabbing a bigger share of viewership. This has led traditional media and streaming companies to lean into the medium. At this year’s Upfront advertising presentations, some companies, including Amazon’s Prime Video, noted the recent success of podcast content as creators sign multimillion dollar deals…
