STKESOL lets SOL holders earn staking rewards while using a liquid token across Solana DeFi platforms.
-
Deposited SOL is auto-delegated across multiple validators using audited stake pool software.

SOL Strategies plans to stake over 500,000 SOL, supporting decentralization and validator revenue.
SOL Strategies announced the launch of STKESOL, a liquid staking token for the Solana blockchain. The product allows SOL holders to stake tokens, earn rewards and retain liquidity for DeFi use. The launch took place through the Solana network, led by SOL Strategies and supported by its validator infrastructure.
STKESOL Launch and Platform Availability
STKESOL enables users to deposit SOL and receive a liquid token usable across decentralized finance applications. According to SOL Strategies, the token becomes available at launch on Orca, Squads, Kamino, and Loopscale.
The company said it plans to expand distribution to additional Solana-based platforms over time. The SPL Stake Pool Program issues STKESOL automatically when users deposit SOL.
The deposited SOL is then staked across multiple validators using an automated delegation strategy. SOL Strategies stated that the stake pool software undergoes regular audits to ensure security and DeFi compatibility. As staking rewards accrue, STKESOL’s value relative to SOL is expected to increase.
Validator Strategy and Revenue Structure
SOL Strategies uses its Stakewiz validator analytics platform to guide delegation decisions. The system applies a Wiz Score, which evaluates performance, reliability, decentralization, and network health.
As a result, STKESOL distributes stake across dozens of validators rather than relying on a single operator. According to Interim CEO Michael Hubbard, the product supports network decentralization while generating revenue through deposit fees and a share of staking rewards.
These revenues complement existing validator operations and treasury holdings. The company noted that smaller validators also benefit from delegated stake under this model.
Treasury Growth and Market Context
SOL Strategies trades under CSE: HODL and NASDAQ: STKE and holds more than 427,000 SOL in its treasury. According to the company, it plans to stake over 500,000 SOL through STKESOL at launch.
The firm began accumulating SOL in June 2024 and rebranded later that year. The company expanded validator coverage through acquisitions including Cogent, OrangeFin Ventures, and Laine.
These moves increased its staked SOL footprint to about 3.3 million SOL. According to SolanaFloor data, roughly 454 million SOL was staked network-wide in early January 2026, with liquid staking tokens representing about 14.06%.
