NAPLES, FL - September 2, 2025 - Crypto is once again showing signs of life. After spending much of the year grinding sideways, the market has shifted in recent weeks with Ethereum climbing back above $4,000 and money beginning to spill over into smaller tokens. The Altcoin Season Index, a closely watched gauge of capital rotation, flipped positive in late August, fueling speculation that the next leg of the cycle is underway.
What makes this moment especially interesting is that publicly traded companies are no longer sitting on the sidelines. A growing number have adopted “crypto-treasury” strategies, buying and staking tokens, running validator nodes, and turning their balance sheets into revenue-generating assets. It is the same playbook that transformed MicroStrategy into a stock market proxy for Bitcoin, and smaller firms are now attempting to replicate that model across Ethereum, Solana, and newer chains like Sonic.
For investors, the appeal is straightforward. Owning shares in these companies provides exposure to the growth of blockchain ecosystems without the complexity of wallets, seed phrases, or crypto exchanges. With altcoin momentum building and institutional money beginning to circle, these overlooked equities could be positioned for a breakout if the market continues to heat up through the fall. Here are four stocks aiming to capture that momentum.
SonicStrategy Inc. (OTC: DBKSF), the blockchain infrastructure subsidiary of Spetz Inc., is positioning itself as one of the most intriguing public-market gateways into the next crypto cycle. The company has aligned itself directly with the Sonic blockchain, a network that has emerged as one of the fastest-growing platforms in decentralized finance and high-speed transaction processing. For investors looking for equity exposure to this trend, DBKSF offers a straightforward entry point.
The market has already shown what this model can deliver. MicroStrategy (NASDAQ: MSTR) turned into a Bitcoin (BTC) proxy and its shares rose more than 2,500%. HODL became the equity vehicle for Solana (SOL) and surged from just $0.25 to over $6.00. SharpLink Gaming transformed itself into an Ethereum (ETH) treasury play and saw its stock multiply several times over. Each case shared the same structure: public companies accumulating digital assets, deploying them into staking and validator operations, and compounding yield. SonicStrategy is now applying that formula to Sonic.
Sonic itself is a rebranded and upgraded evolution of Fantom (FTM), one of the breakout chains from the last bull market. Fantom rose from under two cents to over $3.60 at its peak. Sonic is built to push those limits further. The chain boasts transaction capacity exceeding 400,000 per second, finality in about 300 milliseconds, and fees so low they measure in fractions of a cent. Adoption has been rapid, with total value locked surpassing $1 billion in just over 100 days after launch. Sonic also returns as much as 90% of transaction fees back to developers, creating an ecosystem that strongly incentivizes growth.
Where SonicStrategy differentiates itself is in how it makes this accessible to traditional investors. Instead of simply holding Sonic tokens, the company operates validators, stakes assets, and participates in decentralized finance protocols. That activity generates yield, turning the token holdings into a compounding revenue stream. For investors, the benefit is that exposure does not require navigating wallets, seed phrases, or specialized exchanges. Owning DBKSF provides direct access to Sonic’s growth through a regular brokerage account.
The timing adds another layer of potential. Crypto cycles have historically followed a rhythm: Bitcoin leads, Ethereum outperforms, and then capital rotates into altcoins. That rotation is currently underway. Ethereum has moved above $4,000, the Altcoin Season Index has triggered, and capital flows are starting to spread across emerging chains. If Sonic captures even a fraction of the market attention that Solana drew in 2021, DBKSF could be one of the fastest-moving public equities in the sector.
At this stage, SonicStrategy remains largely undiscovered. Institutional investors have not yet moved in size, and the stock is not widely followed. Yet the model is proven, the blockchain is scaling, and the revenue engine is already running. For those willing to step in early, DBKSF provides a clean way to capture upside from one of the most promising new chains without the complexities of direct crypto participation.
Bitmine Immersion Technologies Inc. (NYSE AMERICAN: BMNR) is rapidly emerging as a leading institutional proxy for Ethereum (ETH) exposure. The company has transitioned from traditional Bitcoin (BTC) mining to amassing one of the largest corporate Ethereum treasuries globally, offering investors a straightforward equity pathway into the second-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization.
As of August 24, 2025, Bitmine’s holdings include approximately 1,713,899 ETH, valued at around $4,808 per token, totaling over $8.8 billion. This positions the company as the largest publicly traded holder of Ethereum and the second-largest corporate crypto treasury worldwide, trailing only Spetz Inc. (OTC: DBKSF).
The company’s strategic shift towards Ethereum began in late June 2025, following a $250 million capital raise aimed at purchasing Ethereum as its primary treasury reserve asset. This move mirrors the strategy employed by MicroStrategy with Bitcoin, but with a focus on Ethereum’s role in the stablecoin ecosystem and its transition to proof-of-stake consensus.
Bitmine operates mining facilities in Texas and Trinidad & Tobago, utilizing immersion cooling technology to enhance energy efficiency and extend equipment lifespan. These operations support both proprietary Bitcoin mining and hosting services for third-party digital asset mining equipment.
A significant catalyst for the company’s recent growth was the disclosure that Peter Thiel’s Founders Fund acquired a 9.1% stake in Bitmine, making it the largest shareholder based on recent data. This announcement led to a nearly 15% surge in BMNR’s stock price, underscoring growing institutional interest in the company’s Ethereum-focused strategy.
For investors seeking exposure to Ethereum through traditional equity markets, BMNR provides a unique opportunity to participate in the growth of one of the most promising blockchain ecosystems without the complexities of direct cryptocurrency investment.
DeFi Development Corp. (Nasdaq: DFDV) is taking a bold approach to digital assets by structuring itself as a Solana (SOL)-focused treasury vehicle. The company has built its strategy around Solana, one of the most active and developer-friendly blockchains, arguing that the network remains undervalued relative to Ethereum despite stronger performance metrics. Instead of simply holding crypto, DeFi Dev operates its own validator infrastructure, earning rewards from staking and delegated stake, while also positioning itself as a bridge between decentralized finance and traditional markets.
As of mid-August, the company reported holdings of more than 1.42 million SOL and equivalents, a figure that continues to grow as new capital flows in. Recent purchases included 110,000 SOL at an average cost of just over $201, reflecting an aggressive accumulation strategy. To accelerate that growth, the company completed a $125 million equity raise priced at $12.50 per share, bringing total capital raised in 2025 to over $370 million. Unlike many crypto treasury models that rely on heavy leverage or simply track token exposure, DeFi Dev emphasizes per-share accretion. Its guiding metric is Solana per Share (SPS), which rose more than 47% last quarter to 0.0619. Management has set ambitious targets, including a June 2026 goal of 0.165 SPS and a long-term objective of 1 SPS by 2028.
The company’s model has drawn comparisons to MicroStrategy’s bitcoin strategy, but leadership insists it is building something more integrated. By combining validator economics, capital raises, and direct on-chain participation, DeFi Dev aims to provide shareholders not only with Solana exposure but also with the compounding benefits of staking yields and discounted token acquisitions. For investors bullish on Solana’s ecosystem, DFDV represents a differentiated way to gain access through a publicly traded equity.
Trump Media & Technology Group Corp. (NASDAQ: DJT) is once again capturing headlines with a strategic shift that blends its social media operations with an emerging focus on digital assets. The company, known for its Truth Social platform, announced a new partnership with global crypto exchange Crypto.com, which counts more than 150 million users worldwide.
As part of the deal unveiled on August 26, Trump Media plans to acquire roughly $105 million in Cronos (CRO), the native token of the Crypto.com ecosystem. In parallel, Crypto.com will invest $50 million directly into DJT shares, creating a financial alignment between the two sides. A key element of the arrangement is the planned launch of a separate treasury vehicle, to be listed through a SPAC under the ticker MCGA, which would manage reserves consisting of CRO tokens, cash, and other financial assets.
The move places DJT alongside a small but growing number of publicly traded companies using corporate treasuries to hold digital assets as a long-term strategy. While cryptocurrency exposure brings considerable volatility, it also gives Trump Media a way to stand out in a competitive media landscape and potentially appeal to investors who are tracking blockchain adoption trends.
At the same time, it is important to note that the company has a history of limited revenue generation and continues to operate at a loss, meaning the success of this pivot carries added weight. For investors willing to tolerate risk, DJT represents a speculative play at the crossroads of social media and digital assets, with the potential for significant upside if the new strategy gains traction.
