SUNation announces Bitcoin treasury strategy, allocating 30% of excess cash to BTC while enabling crypto payments, despite financial challenges and recent rebranding efforts.
SUNation’s board of directors has given the nod to the inclusion of Bitcoin as part of its financial management strategy. The company plans to use up to 30% of its excess cash to purchase BTC. The exact amount will depend on factors like market conditions and the company’s operational needs, such as expansion plans.
The solar energy company has a market capitalization of $456 million, and its plan to diversify the company’s treasury assets with Bitcoin is in tandem with its mission of promoting solar energy accessibility. SUNation also plans to give customers the chance to start making payments for their products using Bitcoin. The digital asset is gaining more acceptability as a means of transaction across industries and has the potential to mitigate economic risk, a statement that was emphasized by SUNation CEO Scott Maskin.
Maskin revealed that they are excited about the strategy and believe it will place them as a leader in the New Energy Economy, emphasizing the company’s commitment to supporting a sustainable digital economy. The company aims to offer investors cryptocurrency exposure while advancing sustainable energy practices through Bitcoin treasury integration. Maskin stated:
“Our BTC treasury strategy not only positions us as a forward-thinking company but also offers institutional investors an opportunity to gain BTC exposure per diluted share while supporting a sustainable energy future.”
Despite this initiative, the company’s stock is considered undervalued, according to InvestingPro, as it has struggled with a -99.42% one-year return. Data from InvestingPro describes SUNation’s financial health as weak, citing significant difficulties in profitability and cash flow management.
Previously known as Pineapple Energy, the company rebranded to SUNation in November 2024 and operates in New York, Florida, and Hawaii. It also has a Contingent Value Rights (CVR) agreement until December 31, 2025, to sell pre-merger assets and settle claims. The CVR, tied to its merger with Pineapple Energy, allows holders to share proceeds from asset sales. In November 2024, $0.35 per CVR was distributed, totaling $850,269.
SUNation Energy has closed its inactive subsidiaries, JDL Technologies and Ecessa Corporation, to cut costs. The CVR agreement extension was agreed upon with the CVR holders’ representative to allow more time to manage restricted cash. These steps aim to address post-merger obligations and increase shareholder value.
The company has been offering solar battery storage, EV charging, and grid solutions to residential and commercial customers across the U.S. since 2003. SUNation’s main markets are in New York, Florida, and Hawaii. It rebranded from Pineapple Energy to SUNation Energy in November 2024.
