Classover Holdings Inc., a global K–12 edtech company valued at $63 million, is diving deep into crypto with a $500 million treasury initiative centered on Solana (SOL). The firm has entered into a binding agreement with Solana Growth Ventures LLC to issue senior secured convertible notes worth up to $500 million, a move designed to stabilize its financial footing and build a crypto-backed reserve.
Classover signs a $500M convertible notes agreement, planning to invest up to $900M in Solana amid liquidity pressure.
The contract stipulates an initial $11 million payment, subject to standard closing conditions. Once finalized, Classover will be required to allocate up to 80% of the funds raised toward purchasing SOL tokens, solidifying its strategic commitment to the Solana ecosystem.
This comes after a prior purchase of 6,472 SOL for $1.05 million. The company is now reportedly eyeing discounted locked tokens to expand its holdings further. Including a previous $400 million equity deal, Classover’s total potential investment in Solana could reach $900 million.
Company CEO Ms. Luo called the move a “significant milestone,” stating the plan will “restructure Classover’s treasury model with blockchain integration at its core.” Financial advisory is being handled solely by Chardan.
However, this ambitious pivot to Solana comes amid financial strain. The firm reported a 102% drop in revenue over the past year and a dangerously low current ratio of 0.02, signaling tight liquidity. This $500M convertible note agreement appears to be a lifeline—and a bold bet on crypto—to keep the company afloat.
To further align operations with this strategic shift, Classover has adjusted executive compensation. CFO Yanling Peng’s annual salary is now set at $156,000 effective May 1, 2025.
Founded in 2020, Classover provides live, online courses for K–12 students across the globe. This new crypto-heavy initiative could mark a significant turning point for the company as it works to stabilize and scale amid mounting pressure.
