Forward Industries (NASDAQ: FWDI) reported financial results for the twelve months ended September 30, 2025, showcasing early momentum from its newly adopted Solana treasury strategy. The company, which transitioned to a Solana treasury strategy in September 2025, generated approximately $4.6 million in staking revenue during the fourth quarter alone, despite less than one month of active staking under the new approach. This performance highlights the potential of the strategy to drive long-term SOL-per-share growth.
Fiscal 2025 net revenue reached $18.2 million, down from $20.0 million in the prior year. Operating expenses rose to $13.6 million from $7.3 million, driven by costs associated with the strategic shift. However, the quarter also included a $160 million non-cash, unrealized mark-to-market loss on SOL holdings, required under current accounting standards, which significantly impacted reported earnings. The company emphasized that this loss is non-cash and reflects market volatility rather than operational performance.
The Solana treasury strategy, initiated in September 2025, is designed to acquire SOL and increase SOL-per-share through bespoke strategies and active treasury management. Forward Industries is supported by industry-leading investors and operating partners, including Galaxy Digital, Jump Crypto, and Multicoin Capital.

The company noted that the early staking revenue validates the strategy's potential, even as it navigates the volatility inherent in cryptocurrency markets.
