Shares of the Solana treasury firm Forward Industries have declined 25% today amid a flight from risky assets.

Summary
  • Solana treasury firm Forward Industries authorizes $1B stock repurchase
  • The company’s stock fell 20% on broader risk-off sentiment in the markets
  • Solana fell 7.5% to $154 amid a crypto market sell-off

Risk-off sentiment hit both the equity and crypto assets, with valuations getting crushed. On Tuesday, Nov. 4, shares of the Solana treasury firm Forward Industries dropped 25%, while Solana was down 7.5%.

The steep decline followed the company’s announcement that it had registered the shares sold in its September 2025 private placement. This means that investors who bought shares in the PIPE deal can immediately resell them on the open market.

The September deal raised $1.58 billion from private investors. It also enabled the firm to buy 6.822 million Solana (SOL) at an average price of $232 per token. Galaxy Digital, Jump Crypto, and Multicoin Capital, were among the firms that invested.

Forward Industries authorizes $1b share buyback

To boost its declining share price, Forward Industries announced that its board approved a share repurchase program worth up to $1 billion. The authorization, signed on November 3, will expire on Sept. 30, 2027. The program means that the company is allowed to, but doesn’t have to, buy back up to $1 billion worth of its own shares.

Crypto treasury firms use a combination of debt, staking, and yield strategies to outperform the underlying asset. However, these strategies often turn them into a leveraged bet, making them more volatile than the crypto assets they invest in.

Market Conditions Now Favor Bitcoin’s Next Rally, According to Crypto expert

The post Market Conditions Now Favor Bitcoin’s Next Rally, According to Crypto expert appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Bitcoin 28 September 2025 | 18:02 Cryptocurrency strategist Timothy Peterson has linked improving macroeconomic signals to a potential rally in Bitcoin, suggesting the digital asset could enter a powerful uptrend over the next nine months. According to Peterson, the prolonged period of high interest rates has weighed heavily on the economy, especially in sectors like housing. He highlighted that the recent drop in mortgage rates is beginning to unlock refinancing, which puts more disposable income into the hands of households. This shift, he argued, can stimulate consumption and create a ripple effect that strengthens economic activity overall. Beyond housing, Peterson pointed to developments in credit markets. The decline in yields on riskier bonds shows investors are becoming more comfortable with exposure beyond safe assets. For him, this appetite naturally extends to Bitcoin, which he describes as sitting at the highest point on the risk spectrum. Peterson believes these signs reflect a broader return of confidence. Falling rates combined with stronger risk tolerance, he said, are exactly the conditions that typically drive capital into Bitcoin. If current trends continue, the analyst expects the cryptocurrency to benefit significantly in the months ahead.
