In a move that could redefine on-chain corporate accumulation, Hyperliquid Strategies Inc. (HSI) has filed a Form S-1 registration statement with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to raise up to $1 billion through a 160 million share public offering.
According to the filing, HSI plans to allocate a portion of the proceeds toward purchasing and staking $HYPE tokens, a strategic move that aligns with the company’s broader goal of increasing its exposure to digital assets while reinforcing the Hyperliquid ecosystem. The filing lists David Schamis as CEO and the company’s headquarters at 477 Madison Avenue, New York.
A Major Boost for the HYPE Market
Following the announcement, the $HYPE price surged around 9%, now trading near $38, as traders reacted positively to the potential influx of institutional capital. The $40 mark is emerging as the next major resistance, and bulls are expected to push for a breakout either today or over the weekend.

If the market cools off before the next leg up, $35 remains a solid support zone, having repeatedly held through October’s consolidation phase.
The SEC filing confirms that Hyperliquid Strategies Inc. – established through Sonnet BioTherapeutics’ $888 million reverse merger – is officially entering the public market arena. As part of this merger, HSI will hold 12.6 million HYPE tokens, valued at approximately $583 million, and maintain a $1 billion credit line dedicated to additional purchases.
Crucially, the entity intends to stake a significant portion of its holdings for yield, effectively locking up circulating supply and introducing sustained buy-side pressure. This could reduce available liquidity, making price rallies more explosive in the months ahead.
This strategy mirrors MicroStrategy’s Bitcoin accumulation model, where steady, large-scale buying supported Bitcoin’s long-term scarcity narrative and helped fuel institutional adoption. Similarly, Hyperliquid’s move could cement $HYPE as one of the few tokens benefiting from consistent corporate demand.
However, there’s a caveat. Because Sonnet shareholders retain only 1.2% of HSI’s equity, issuing new shares to fund HYPE purchases could introduce dilution risk – a trade-off that may concern traditional investors but remain bullish for token holders.
Market Outlook
With the S-1 filing now public, investors are eyeing both the timing and structure of the eventual offering. Should the SEC approve the registration and the capital inflow proceed as planned, the resulting buy pressure could offset HYPE’s recent –18.7% monthly decline and reignite the strong momentum seen earlier in the quarter.
For now, all eyes are on the $40 breakout zone, as a clean move above it could open the door toward new highs – with fundamentals, corporate backing, and bullish sentiment all aligning for another leg up.
