NEWTOWN, Pa., Sept. 29, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Helius Medical Technologies, Inc. (Nasdaq: HSDT) (“HSDT” or the “Company”) announced that, following receipt of approval from its Board of Directors, it has filed an amendment to its Certificate of Incorporation with the Delaware Secretary of State and amended the Second Amended and Restated Bylaws to reflect a corporate name change from “Helius Medical Technologies, Inc.” to “Solana Company.” The Company’s ticker symbol for its Class A common stock, HSDT, will remain the same.

Additionally, the Company and certain of its investors entered into a non-binding letter of intent with the Solana Foundation (the “Foundation”), which sets forth the principal terms of HSDT’s commitment to abide by “Solana By Design” terms, which includes conducting all on-chain activity solely on Solana (“SOL”), institutional partnerships referrals, and joint initiatives to highlight Solana capabilities (including co-hosted events, institutional roundtables and participation at Solana Foundation events). HSDT will have the option, subject to certain conditions, to purchase a certain amount of SOL tokens from the Foundation at a discount.

The Company is also continuing to execute on its accumulation of SOL tokens as part of its digital asset treasury strategy. The Company still holds cash from its recent $500mm PIPE financing, which the Company intends to use to further its digital asset treasury strategy.

“DATs are providing access to the blockchain market to a new kind of investor. Solana Company is well set up to be the preeminent SOL DAT by introducing Solana to a growing audience,” said Dan Morehead, Founder and Managing Partner of Pantera Capital and Strategic Advisor to HSDT.

“Solana Company is a name that signifies HSDT’s commitment to building a long-lasting institution that accelerates the growth of Solana. HSDT’s Solana DAT will be a powerful advocate for Solana's development,” said Cosmo Jiang, General Partner at Pantera Capital and Board Observer at HSDT.

“HSDT’s announcements today, including a corporate name change and agreement with the Solana Foundation, showcase its long-term conviction in Solana. The clear long-term alignment is a show of support and sign of strength for the Solana Company’s mission,” said Joseph Chee, Executive Chairman of HSDT and Chairman of Summer Capital.

Solana has historically been the fastest growing blockchain, leading the industry in transaction revenue and processing more than 3,500 transactions per second. The network is also the most widely adopted, averaging about 3.7 million daily active wallets and surpassing 23 billion transactions year-to-date. SOL is financially productive by design, offering a ~7% native staking yield, whereas assets like Bitcoin (BTC) are typically non-yield-bearing.
