Orca DAO Unveils 55K SOL Staking and 24-Month ORCA Buyback
Orca DAO has proposed a dual-treasury strategy to boost network security and token value. The plan draws 55,000 SOL and $400,000 USDC from its treasury. It stakes the SOL into Orca validator nodes on Solana. The proposal also launches a 24-month ORCA buyback program with market-timed purchases. Buybacks may burn tokens, fund ecosystem grants or reward xORCA stakers. Transparency measures include quarterly reports on purchases, average prices and on-chain wallet disclosures. After four days of governance discussion, a five-day on-chain vote and two-day veto period will decide final approval. Orca DAO’s SOL staking and ORCA buyback strategy aims to reduce circulating supply, increase staking revenue and signal bullish momentum for SOL and ORCA.
Bullish
The proposal’s large-scale SOL staking and 24-month ORCA buyback are likely to boost staking yields and reduce token supply, key drivers for price appreciation. Measured buyback timing and enhanced transparency can minimize market impact and build investor confidence. In the short term, staking revenue may attract yield seekers. In the long term, supply reduction and stronger protocol alignment with Solana support sustainable value growth for SOL and ORCA.
