What happened
SkyAI liquidated its SOL treasury and directed $201 million to a share buyback; the offer terms sparked a dispute over the price $3 per share.
Why it matters
The decision changes SkyAI's asset mix and shifts attention from the cryptocurrency reserve to the terms and execution of the buyback.
SkyAI sold all of its SOL reserves and announced a stock buyback of $201 million. The Block reports the company holds $223,8 million in cash, and the buyback program runs until 29 October.
The Defiant reports that the condition tied to SOL price was removed from the offer, keeping the price at $3 per share. Bastion Trading challenged this level, but available materials do not disclose details of the dispute.
For the market, this signals a shift in focus: investors will care more about the buyback terms and how the cash is used going forward, rather than the SOL treasury itself. The reasons for the sale and the program’s actual outcome are not yet confirmed by full primary documents.

Editorial context
Confidence: medium
The likely near-term consequence is heightened attention to the terms and execution of the buyback, not the company’s SOL reserve. The next observable signal will be a progress report or completion of the program. Substantial uncertainty remains regarding the motives for the sale, the size of the buyback, and the dispute around the price $3.
