MemeStrategy (02440) announced that, as part of its ongoing strategy to optimize Solana acquisition costs and strengthen its validator network, extending the group's expansion plan into blockchain solutions and its strategic investment in Solana, on January 14, 2026, its wholly-owned subsidiary, MemeStrategy Hong Kong Limited (MSHK), entered into a series of over-the-counter Solana put option agreements with the Singapore licensed entity QCP Trading Pte. Ltd. (QCP). Under the put option agreements, MSHK (as the option grantor) sold put options to QCP (as the option holder), whereby MSHK granted QCP the right, but not the obligation, to sell up to 43,500 units of Solana to the group (through MSHK) at a pre-determined strike price, with an expiry date of January 30, 2026. In return, the group (through MSHK) received an option premium valued and settled in Solana, totaling 317 units of Solana (equivalent to approximately HK$358,000 based on the prevailing market price at execution). Should all put options be exercised, the maximum total amount payable by the group would be approximately HK$44.9 million, which will be paid from existing cash reserves (excluding any remaining proceeds from the company's rights issue, but including the proceeds from the subscription of new shares under the general authority as disclosed in the relevant announcements). Given the potential volatility in Solana's market price, the Board believes it is prudent to adopt a structured and disciplined approach to accumulating Solana while managing price risk and generating additional income. The put option strategy offers the group several key benefits: (1) managing market risk in a controlled and capital-efficient manner; (2) systematically increasing its Solana holdings to align with its validator expansion plan; and (3) generating recurring income in the form of option premiums settled in Solana, thereby reducing the average acquisition cost of Solana and enhancing the group's overall financial performance.
