The token traded at $0.007 at last check and was up over 92% in the last 30 days, according to crypto.news data.<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- .cn-block-related-link --><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Fitell\u2019s pivot from fitness to Solana treasury<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Fitell\u2019s embrace of Solana began in late September, when the company announced the launch of a digital asset treasury backed by a $100 million financing facility. The initiative made Fitell the first Australian firm to anchor its treasury around Solana, with the goal of becoming one of the region\u2019s largest publicly listed holders of the token.<\/p>\n<p>Until recently, the company\u2019s core business had been selling fitness and gym equipment through its Gym Direct subsidiary, which has served more than 100,000 customers in Australia. The sudden tilt into crypto marks a striking departure from its retail origins.<\/p>\n<p>The company\u2019s roadmap, outlined in a September announcement, reveals ambitions that extend far beyond simple asset accumulation. Fitell has articulated a clear DeFi and yield generation strategy, aiming to deploy its Solana assets across a suite of on-chain \u201cstructured products.\u201d This includes advanced financial instruments like options and liquidity provisioning, all designed to generate what the company calls \u201coutsized yields\u201d and \u201calpha generation.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>To cement this new identity, Fitell has initiated a corporate overhaul. The company is taking steps toward a dual listing on the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) and has announced plans to formally rebrand as \u201cSolana Australia Corporation.\u201d This intended name change leaves little doubt about its future strategic focus, positioning itself as a dedicated vehicle for Solana ecosystem exposure for public market investors.<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- .cn-block-related-link --><\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fitell is staking a significant portion of its capital on a memecoin platform\u2019s token, allocating $1.5 million for 216.8 million PUMP tokens just one month after securing a $100 million&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":7187,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-12444","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-cryptocurrency"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/bitunikey.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12444","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/bitunikey.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/bitunikey.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bitunikey.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bitunikey.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=12444"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/bitunikey.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12444\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":12445,"href":"https:\/\/bitunikey.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12444\/revisions\/12445"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bitunikey.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/7187"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/bitunikey.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=12444"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bitunikey.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=12444"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bitunikey.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=12444"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
