On September 2, Sonic Labs, the foundation behind the Sonic blockchain, committed $40M USD to SonicStrategy, a small cap building a treasury of Sonic tokens and earning yield on them.
And let’s just say the terms are a clear stamp of approval for SonicStrategy:
Amount: $40M USD funded in S (Sonic’s native token).
Term: Six months, non-interest, unsecured.
Conversion: Company option to convert at $4.50 USD per share if milestones are met.
Milestones: Nasdaq uplist and at least $40M in additional financing.
Lockups: Any conversion shares locked 3 years. The S is locked 4 years.
With SonicStrategy (OTC: DBKSF) trading around $0.75 USD today, the stock sits far below the $4.50 conversion line. That’s nearly a 500% gap between where Sonic Labs valued the company and where the market has it now.
In plain terms, Sonic Labs is signaling these shares are worth more than five times the current price.
So this must naturally have you wondering what SonicStrategy (OTC: DBKSF) is and why they picked them.
What is SonicStrategy?
Well, the easiest way to grasp the SonicStrategy story is to hear it straight from the CEO, Mitchell Demeter, himself:
Put simply, SonicStrategy (OTC: DBKSF) is a public company that builds and compounds a treasury of S. It holds and stakes those tokens and lets investors access that exposure by purchasing shares in their ordinary brokerage account. No new exchanges. No wallets. No keys.
However, it would be a mistake to think SonicStrategy just accumulates S and lets it sit or issues more shares to buy more.
They put it to work.
They participate in the network and help strengthen it. Here is what that looks like in practice:
Accumulate S through open-market buys, strategic deals, and yield-generating derivatives.
Stake the tokens for about 4.7%.
Run validators that strengthen the network and earn about 15% from third-party delegations.
Allocate a slice to high-yield DeFi opportunities targeting 9% to 25%.
Reinvest profits to grow the treasury and compound.
As activity on Sonic and the S price rise, the loop spins faster. SonicStrategy’s results improve, the network gets stronger, and the cycle feeds itself.
Why Sonic?
Sonic is the evolution of Fantom, one of the most explosive crypto projects of the last bull cycle.
As mentioned in the video, it was founded by Andre Cronje, also known as the Godfather of DeFi. He is known for many successful crypto projects, such as Yearn Fi, which hit a peak marketcap of $3.4B. He then went on to be the architect of Fantom.
In 2021, Fantom surged 18,000% from under 2 cents to $3.60+
As the market matured, the old setup started to cap what the team could deliver. They rebranded to Sonic and launched a fresh chain that ran faster, lowered the cost to operate, added a native bridge for moving assets, and paid apps the majority of the fees they generated.
The swap from FTM to S was one to one, so users and builders moved over smoothly. It was a clean reset that let the ecosystem compete again.
Now in 2025, it's back. Faster, cheaper, more developer friendly, and offering up to 90% fee sharing to apps built on the chain, like YouTube’s rev share with creators, only with bigger numbers.
Sonic hit $1 billion in total value locked (TVL) within 106 days of launch.
It’s moving faster than almost any chain in history and the infrastructure supporting it is becoming incredibly valuable.
400,000 transactions per second. Faster than Sui. Faster than Solana. Faster than anything else today.
Speed on its own isn’t enough. It has to settle fast and cost almost nothing.
Sonic locks transactions in about 300 milliseconds. Fees are around $0.001. Clicks feel instant and final.
That’s the kind of performance that scales and pulls in top builders.

How this investment changes things for SonicStrategy:
This is more than funding. Sonic Labs commits $40M in S, locked for four years, and any shares from a conversion would be locked for three. That puts real skin in the game and takes near-term selling pressure off the table.
It also builds a bigger engine. The $40M in S lets SonicStrategy deploy another validator, stake about 126M S, and earn roughly $1.6M a year in staking rewards. It beefs up the balance sheet, extends runway, and adds dry powder to grow the ecosystem.
Now all eyes are on Nasdaq. The team treats it as a priority. Last month they added Russell Starr, formerly head of capital markets at DeFi Technologies, where he helped steer a Nasdaq uplist.
The U.S. OTC ticker is live, the checklist is clear, and the pieces are lining up.
On top of that, SonicStrategy has created a Technical Advisory Council with senior Sonic Labs leadership. Michael Kong (CEO), Matt Madera (Chief Strategy Officer), and Sam Harcourt (Chief Operating Officer) are now directly advising the company.
This gives SonicStrategy (OTC: DBKSF) access to technical direction, developer incentives, and ecosystem opportunities, while also cementing its position as the official public market partner of Sonic Labs.
Now it all comes down to execution.
