In a move that would make even the most jaded financier raise an eyebrow, Hyperliquid Strategies has flung its hat into the ring with an S-1 filing, aiming to pluck a cool $1 billion from the pockets of the unsuspecting public. The company, a pending merger between the quaintly named Sonnet BioTherapeutics and the ominously titled Rorschach I LLC, plans to unleash 160 million shares upon the world, like so many confetti at a banker’s ball. Chardan Capital Markets, ever the eager accomplice, has been enlisted to shepherd this financial farce.
The Merger: A Match Made in SPAC Heaven
This union, announced with all the fanfare of a minor royal engagement, is expected to culminate by year’s end. The resulting entity, a chimera of biotech and finance, will prance onto Nasdaq under a new ticker symbol, no doubt to the delight of day traders and the bewilderment of the rest of us. At the helm of this ship of fools are Chairman Bob Diamond, erstwhile overlord of Barclays, and CEO David Schamis, a man who clearly relishes the sound of his own voice.
“Today we filed an S1,” Schamis intoned, with all the gravitas of a soothsayer at a tea party. “This document is to allow us to issue additional equity into the market following the close of our transaction. We will only be selling equity if and when we believe the market conditions to be favorable. We have no obligations or requirements to issue any additional capital.”
One can almost hear the collective yawn of the financial world. Yet, the filing reveals that the proceeds will be squirreled away for “general corporate purposes,” a phrase so vague it could mean anything from expanding their treasury holdings of the HYPE token to purchasing a fleet of gold-plated staplers. Currently, Hyperliquid sits on a hoard of 12.6 million HYPE tokens and $305 million in cash, a war chest that would make a dragon blush.
The company, in a fit of crypto-enthusiasm, plans to stake its tokens, a maneuver as risky as it is trendy. They also intend to dabble in decentralized finance, though one suspects their “internal evaluations” are about as rigorous as a schoolboy’s homework. The goal, they assure us, is to generate value for shareholders and cement their place in the crypto market, a realm where value is as fleeting as a mayfly.
2025: The Year Hyperliquid Went Full Tilt
This year, Hyperliquid’s ecosystem has flourished like a weed in a neglected garden. According to CoinGecko, the platform has dominated token buybacks, splashing $644.64 million through its Assistance Fund, a sum so vast it makes one wonder if they’re buying back tokens or a small country. This spree has netted them 21.36 million HYPE tokens, a mere 2.1% of the total supply, but enough to crow about.
Monthly buybacks averaged $65.50 million, peaking at $110.62 million in August, with tokens fetching an average of $30.18 apiece. Meanwhile, on the blockchain front, Hyperliquid has outpaced traditional networks with fees soaring 1,600% in a year, from $2.4 million in October 2024 to $41 million in October 2025. This meteoric rise was fueled by the HIP-3 launch, a gambit that enabled permissionless perpetuals and slashed fees, driving trading volumes to record highs.
By contrast, Ethereum and Solana have stumbled like drunks at a cocktail party, while Bitcoin’s on-chain fees have plummeted 73%. Hyperliquid, it seems, is the belle of the ball, though one wonders how long the music will play before the piper must be paid. 🕺💸
