• Management highlighted sector‑wide multiple compression and oversupply (over 200 Treasury Companies), which has depressed valuations and contributed to Upexi trading at discounts to NAV.
• Treasury composition as of Dec 31 included roughly 2.17 million SOL (publicly referenced ~2.4M after raises), ~95% staked, ~106k tokens added in the quarter, and about $9.7 million cash on hand.
