SOL jumps about 9%, lifting Solana treasury stocks as several DAT names rally more than 10%

ChainCatcher report: SOL climbed about 9% on Friday, sparking a broad rally in shares of Solana-focused digital asset treasury (DAT) companies. Sol Strategies led the group, rising as much as 22% intraday to $1.20. Other Solana DAT stocks also advanced sharply: Forward Industries gained up to 12% to $4.03, SkyAI rose 11% to $1.07, DeFi Development Corp. added 10% to $2.73, and Solana Company climbed more than 10%, touching a high of $1.65. The move was supported by expectations of index inclusion. After Friday's close, several DAT companies—including Forward, the largest Solana treasury firm—are set to join the Russell Indexes. Two major Ethereum treasury companies, Bitmine and SharpLink, will also be added to relevant Russell Indexes, while smaller Solana treasury company Upexi is slated for inclusion in the Russell Microcap Index.
