Mercer Park, a special purpose acquisition company listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange, has announced its impending acquisition of crypto platform Cube Group.

Mercer Park eyes $500 million Solana treasury
Ahead of the deal closing, the new company will acquire $500 million of Solana ( SOL ) tokens for its treasury strategy.
The purchase of SOL is part of the plans to bolster liquidity and yield generation. Buying Solana for a treasury bet is also crucial to overall long-term value creation, the company said.
“Cube is building the infrastructure for modern digital finance, and this business combination with Mercer Park accelerates our vision,” said Bartosz Lipiński, co-founder and chief executive officer of Cube Group. “By going public, we gain the resources to scale our ultra-secure, high-speed exchange.”

Cube is a digital finance platform founded by Lipiński, a Solana core developer and former head of equity applications engineering at Citadel.
The company offers services and solutions such as spot trading, custody, hybrid banking and loan products. It also seeks to expand its traction around asset management, corporate treasury, and wealth management tools as it looks to increase its presence across the $3.6 trillion crypto market.
Approval and closing of the transaction will see the new company list on Nasdaq and operate as Cube Exchange Inc. Mercer Park and Cube are eyeing “the future of finance,” Lipiński noted.
The merger transaction will close in the first quarter of 2026.
