Under the collaboration, STSS will delegate a portion of its SOL treasury holdings, currently more than 2 million SOL, to Stakin by The Tie, which operates non-custodial validator infrastructure across 40+ proof-of-stake networks. The delegation pairs one of the largest public market Solana treasury strategies with one of the most established institutional validator operations in the ecosystem, reinforcing both network security and the operational credibility of institutional participation in Solana.
The Tie hosts a series of institutional events throughout the year, including: Innovate Miami (May 26, 2026), Out East Summit (July 20–22, 2026 in Long Island’s North Fork), and The Bridge (October 27, 2026 in New York). Each of these events convenes hundreds of hedge funds, asset managers, banks, and ecosystem leaders. As part of the collaboration, STSS management will participate in these events across the 2026–2027 calendar, engaging directly with The Tie’s institutional community.
“This collaboration with The Tie reflects STSS’s commitment to expanding institutional participation in the Solana ecosystem through credible infrastructure and trusted institutional networks. The Tie has built one of the most respected platforms in institutional crypto. By delegating to Stakin by The Tie and engaging directly with their institutional community, we can elevate Solana’s visibility among the institutions that matter most, while maintaining full custody and control of our assets.”
“STSS is building one of the most notable Solana treasury strategies in the public markets, and we’re excited to support that strategy through our validator infrastructure and institutional network. This agreement reflects the growing maturity of Solana’s institutional ecosystem, where public companies can participate through non-custodial staking, robust operational standards, and ecosystem engagement at the highest level.”
