Forward Industries, Inc. (NASDAQ: FWDI), a Solana-focused digital asset treasury company, announced the closing of a previously announced registered direct offering with an institutional investor. The company sold 3,125,000 shares of common stock at $8 per share, raising gross proceeds of approximately $25 million before placement agent fees and other offering expenses.
