Thesis unchanged. SOL on top. We said ‘go big or go home’. Today we went huge with @UpexiTreasury. 🤝

2018: first SOL. 2025: $150M round lead for @UpexiTreasury. Same thesis, bigger tickets. Because builders on Solana keep proving us right.

We are proud to be supporting a SOL treasury on the Nasdaq!

1/ GSR has led a $100M private placement into Nasdaq-listed Upexi, Inc. to support its @solana-based treasury strategy. 🧵

As we move toward a future where intelligence becomes the most valuable asset class, Ambient introduces a paradigm shift in how crypto networks are designed and utilized. Rather than optimizing for transaction throughput or financial security alone, Ambient prioritizes AI throughput and AI security. It is a proof-of-useful-work blockchain that combines the security assumptions of Bitcoin, the intelligence capabilities of frontier models like OpenAI’s, and the execution performance of Solana. Ambient creates the foundation for a new application layer built on intelligence rather than speculation. I’m excited to see what kinds of vibe-coded consumer experiences emerge from this framework, and whether they might finally unlock true mass adoption. Machine Intelligence becomes a basic economic unit. Proud to invest in @iridiumeagle, one of the most impressive thinkers and founders I’ve had the privilege of meeting.

To followup on the news article released earlier this week, the @Ambient_xyz team is proud to announce the completion of our combined $7.3mil fundraise led by @a16zcrypto CSX, @Delphi_Ventures, and @AmberGroup_io. Ambient is an AI-infused L1, relying upon its novel Proof of Logits mechanism to power a single massive model (600B+ params). Miners run inference and earn both fees and rewards for their compute, thus making it a potential replacement to Bitcoin. With its new consensus mechanism, Ambient can verify that untrusted miners are actually running the model—at just 0.1% overhead. With this breakthrough proof model, it unlocks a new level of trust in the high-stakes fields of finance, defense, law, health, and robotics. In addition to our lead backers, Ambient’s fundraise also included participation from: @superscrypt, @bigbrainvc, @proofgp, @rubikvc, @aethircloud, @0xPrismatic, @fede_intern, @kelxyz_, @alexgolding_, @aeyakovenko, @rajgokal, and other incredible founders and leaders, listed below. This fundraise will be used to accelerate development towards our vision of building a network backed and secured by machine intelligence productivity, and we are looking forward to sharing more information about our upcoming testnet and miner programs.

Scale any chain with @get_optimum, the memory layer for all decentralized networks leveraging novel research on random-linear network codes. Excited to back @MurielMedard and her team!
