Sol Strategies ( (TSE:HODL) ) has shared an update.

On April 7, 2026, SOL Strategies Inc. announced a definitive agreement to acquire the assets of Darklake Labs, a Solana-native zero-knowledge technology startup, for USD $1.2 million, largely paid in common shares with a smaller cash component subject to a four-month lock-up. Darklake’s Zyga zero-knowledge proof system, which enables private Solana transactions and mitigates front‑running and sandwich attacks, along with its founders and core research team, is expected to bolster SOL Strategies’ in-house engineering and R&D capabilities, deepening its role in Solana infrastructure and potentially enhancing its competitive position in on-chain finance privacy technologies.

The deal brings on board Darklake CEO and technical founder Vitor Py Braga, COO Amber Hales, and Head of ZK Research Tiago Alves, who will lead an expanded research function within SOL Strategies. By internalizing both cutting-edge privacy technology and experienced compliance and academic talent, the company is positioning itself more as an active technology builder within the Solana ecosystem, which could strengthen its long-term strategic influence in decentralized finance infrastructure and broaden its value proposition for investors and ecosystem partners.

The most recent analyst rating on (TSE:HODL) stock is a Sell with a C$1.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Sol Strategies stock, see the TSE:HODL Stock Forecast page.

Spark’s Take on HODL Stock

According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, HODL is a Neutral.

The score is primarily held down by sharply weakened financial performance (large losses and negative cash flow) and a technically bearish price trend. The earnings call provides partial support via improving operating traction (STKESOL adoption, staking income growth, institutional validation), but liquidity/leverage and dilution risks remain significant, and valuation offers limited support due to negative earnings.
