Solana Company, the Nasdaq-listed SOL treasury under ticker HSDT, reported $2.512 million of staking revenue in the second quarter, but that income was automatically restaked and did not provide the operating cash the company used during the period, according to CryptoSlate. In its filings, the company reported an estimated $11.892 million of cash used in operations for the quarter, creating a gap between recognized staking revenue and the dollars needed to run the business. The filing also shows a $25.389 million realized loss on digital assets, along with $11.116 million in general and administrative expenses and a $30.256 million net loss.

CryptoSlate reports the realized loss was about 10.1 times the staking revenue, though the outlet notes it was an accounting charge rather than an equivalent cash outflow. The company’s disclosure attributes realized losses to selling SOL and to derivatives margin collateral derecognition, and it adds realized losses back when reconciling net loss to operating cash flow.

While staking revenue can generate cash later if SOL is sold, CryptoSlate says the recognized revenue did not arrive as available dollars during the quarter. The company recorded $13.321 million of digital-asset sale proceeds and $16.723 million of operating cash use in the first half, implying second-quarter sale proceeds of about $7.853 million and aligning with reliance on asset sales as cash costs exceeded staking revenue.
