  • Hyperliquid Strategies plans a $1 billion equity raise to expand its HYPE token holdings.
  • The merger with Sonnet BioTherapeutics will create a new Nasdaq-listed crypto-focused entity.
  • HYPE token demand stays strong as institutional investors increase their exposure.

Hyperliquid Strategies has filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission to raise $1 billion through a new equity offering. The filing outlines plans to issue up to 160 million shares of common stock via a committed equity facility with Chardan Capital Markets.

The company intends to use the proceeds to strengthen its balance sheet, support general operations, and expand its holdings of HYPE tokens. The planned raise highlights the company’s growing focus on digital asset exposure within its corporate strategy.

Merger Nears Completion and Leadership Announced

The offering comes as Hyperliquid Strategies nears completion of its merger between Sonnet BioTherapeutics and Rorschach I LLC, a special-purpose acquisition firm. Once finalized later this year, the merged company will trade on Nasdaq under a new ticker that remains undisclosed. 

Leadership roles have been confirmed, with former Barclays CEO Bob Diamond serving as Chairman and David Schamis as Chief Executive Officer. The company currently holds 12.6 million HYPE tokens and $305 million in cash. These assets are expected to be used primarily for staking activities aimed at generating consistent yields over time.

Institutional Interest in HYPE Tokens Grows

The filing follows rising institutional attention toward the HYPE token. Earlier this month, Nasdaq-listed Lion Group announced plans to convert its Solana and Sui holdings into HYPE. In June, Lion Group acquired $2 million in HYPE tokens as part of a broader $600 million crypto strategy. 

The token has outperformed the broader crypto market, gaining nearly 7% over the past 24 hours despite a minor overall market dip. By comparison, BNB Chain’s Aster token fell 7.6%, showing relative strength in HYPE’s performance. Analysts point to network upgrades and new institutional access products as key factors supporting the token’s resilience. 

Crypto Treasury Trend Gains Momentum

The $305 million in cash reserves position Hyperliquid Strategies to become one of the largest corporate holders of HYPE. This is reflective of an increasing trend of businesses establishing crypto treasuries outside of Bitcoin and Ether. Companies are turning to equity and debt as a way of diversifying their exposure to digital assets. Such strategies may improve market sentiments, but this is short-term because of the uncertainty in the volatile environment.

The perpetual futures trading is continuing to gain momentum in the Hyperliquid ecosystem in a decentralized way. The volume of trading has been high, with decentralized exchanges registering a volume of 1 trillion within the first 23 days of October. Hyperliquid is in the lead with the trading volume of $317.6 billion, which shows its growing strength in the derivatives market.

HyperLiquid launched HYPE token staking on its mainnet last year. These changes highlight the increase in corporate and institutional interest in the integration of digital assets into the larger financial processes.
