Hyperliquid Strategies Expands Equity Facility to $2.5B

Hyperliquid Strategies Inc. expanded its equity purchase commitment with Chardan Capital Markets LLC from $1 billion to $2.5 billion on September 1, according to an amendment filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. The larger facility gives the company an additional $1.5 billion of aggregate equity purchase capacity, subject to the agreement's terms.

Chardan facility rises to $2.5B

The company entered Amendment No. 1 to its ChEF Purchase Agreement with Chardan on September 1. The amendment raises the aggregate commitment under the arrangement to $2.5 billion, from the prior $1 billion, according to the SEC filing.

The expansion comes as Hyperliquid Strategies pursues a treasury-building strategy centred on Hyperliquid's HYPE token. As of June 30, the company had sold approximately $647 million of shares through the facility, according to The Block's reporting on the company's latest SEC filings.

Nasdaq cap on discounted issuances

After $1 billion in cumulative sales, the amendment caps issuances below $12.02 per share at 42,641,847 shares, or 19.99% of the shares outstanding immediately before the amendment, unless the shareholder approval required by Nasdaq is obtained.

The limit covers only below-$12.02 issuances after that $1 billion threshold, not all sales under the enlarged facility, according to the agreement.

HYPE treasury holdings

Hyperliquid Strategies' latest reported holdings stood at approximately 29.4 million HYPE tokens as of August 23, according to The Block. The equity facility is therefore a central funding mechanism for a strategy tied to accumulating the token.

The $2.5 billion headline commitment does not remove the exchange-cap condition for discounted sales after the $1 billion threshold. Any such issuances beyond the stated 42,641,847-share limit would require the relevant Nasdaq shareholder approval.
