Forward Industries, Inc. (NASDAQ: FORD/FWDI) is a Hauppauge, New York-based company, historically a maker of protective carrying cases, that pivoted in September 2025 into a Solana-focused digital asset treasury (DAT) after a $1.65 billion private placement led by Multicoin Capital, Galaxy Digital, and Jump Crypto. Multicoin co-founder Kyle Samani became chairman at closing. The company has since reported large unrealized losses on its SOL holdings, taken on debt from Galaxy Digital, and seen its lead backer, Multicoin, fully exit its position within eight months of the deal amid a public falling-out with Samani.
