The fund, which invests in private humanoid robot makers like Figure AI and Apptronik, has raised over $115 million since June and now trades 24/7 on Solana via Backpack Securities and Ondo Finance, highlighting the growing demand for around-the-clock access to private AI and robotics investments.", "body_md": "*A robotics fund most of Wall Street had never heard of two months ago just outtraded Nasdaq on a Sunday, entirely on Solana.*\n\nOn July 2, RoboStrategy's tokenized shares moved more dollar volume on Solana over a single Sunday than the underlying stock traded on Nasdaq the following Monday. Solana's own account posted the comparison, as Coinfomania reported. It wasn't spin. The numbers held up. Traders in the network's tokenized-equity corner have been repeating the claim ever since.\n\nRoboStrategy, ticker BOT, listed on Nasdaq on May 11, 2026, as a closed-end fund built around a simple pitch: buy the private robotics and physical AI companies ordinary investors can't touch, then let anyone trade a slice of that basket on a public exchange. The portfolio runs through Figure AI and Apptronik, the two humanoid robot makers that dominate the fund's disclosed marks, alongside stakes in Dyna Robotics, Standard Bots, Dexmate and Path Robotics. Check sizes have run around $7 million a round.\n\n## The MicroStrategy of Robotics\n\nThe fund's chief executive, Andrew Kang, spent years running Mechanism Capital, a crypto fund he founded in 2020. He started studying Figure AI in late 2023. Most VCs he consulted told him to stay away from robotics. He grew his own personal stake from roughly $1 million to about $19 million before RoboStrategy existed as a company. Kang has called RoboStrategy the 'MicroStrategy of robotics.' The comparison isn't just marketing talk. Like Michael Saylor's playbook with Bitcoin, RoboStrategy keeps raising fresh capital through private share issuances. Then it plows the money back into more robotics equity. It raised $28.9 million on June 18, $36.5 million on June 26, $33.9 million on June 29, and $16 million on July 15, GlobeNewswire disclosures show. The last of those rounds included a $10 million personal check from Kang.\n\n## Trading Around the Clock\n\nThat capital-raising machine is now running alongside a second one: a market for BOT shares that never closes. Backpack Securities listed tokenized BOT shares on Solana on July 2. Holders could now trade exposure to the fund around the clock, weekends included. Ondo Finance has since brought its own tokenized version, BOTON, to the network as well. The market doesn't sleep.\n\nSolana's tokenized-equity market had already been building toward this moment. Tokenized stock trading on the network hit $4.9 billion in the first half of 2026, a sixfold jump from the $775 million recorded in the second half of last year, according to data compiled by CryptoBriefing and Solana's own network reporting. The chain now handles somewhere between 95 and 97 percent of all cross-chain tokenized equity volume. Backpack alone accounts for more than 70 percent of that.\n\nWhat separates BOT from the tokenized SpaceX or SK Hynix shares also trading on Solana is what sits underneath it. Those are single, familiar companies. BOT is a basket of names most retail investors have never been able to buy at any price, because Figure AI and Apptronik are still private. A crypto trader who wants humanoid-robot exposure at 2 a.m. on a Saturday has had almost nowhere to go for that. Now they have a ticker for it, and a market that never shuts.\n\nThere's a catch worth stating plainly. A closed-end fund's share price can drift well above or below the value of what it actually holds. RoboStrategy's private marks on Figure AI and Apptronik aren't updated in real time, not the way a public stock price is. Stacking 24/7 tokenized trading on top of that doesn't fix the mismatch. It just lets more people trade around it, faster, with less information than the fund itself has. That's the trade-off.\n\nRoboStrategy hasn't said whether it plans tokenization partners beyond Backpack and Ondo. Nasdaq's regular session still sets the reference price everyone else is trading against, even on a Sunday night. For now, that's the anchor: a market that never closes, priced off one that does.\n\n**Also read:** [SBI Holdings alone writes a 76 million dollar check to Wall Street's crypto exchange bet](https://startupfortune.com/sbi-holdings-alone-writes-a-76-million-dollar-check-to-wall-streets-crypto-exchange-bet/) • [South Korea Rewrites a 76 Year Old Property Law to Make Room for Bitcoin](https://startupfortune.com/south-korea-rewrites-a-76-year-old-property-law-to-make-room-for-bitcoin/) • [Cantor Fitzgerald and Securitize will bring tokenized shares to Wall Street IPOs](https://startupfortune.com/cantor-fitzgerald-and-securitize-will-bring-tokenized-shares-to-wall-street-ipos/)", "url": "https://wpnews.pro/news/robostrategy-s-robotics-fund-becomes-solana-s-busiest-tokenized-stock", "canonical_source": "https://startupfortune.com/robostrategys-robotics-fund-becomes-solanas-busiest-tokenized-stock/", "published_at": "2026-07-16 04:20:32+00:00", "updated_at": "2026-07-16 04:37:52.598424+00:00", "lang": "en", "topics": ["robotics", "artificial-intelligence", "ai-startups", "ai-products", "ai-infrastructure"], "entities": ["RoboStrategy", "Andrew Kang", "Figure AI", "Apptronik", "Backpack Securities", "Ondo Finance", "Solana", "Nasdaq"], "alternates": {"html": "https://wpnews.pro/news/robostrategy-s-robotics-fund-becomes-solana-s-busiest-tokenized-stock", "markdown": "https://wpnews.pro/news/robostrategy-s-robotics-fund-becomes-solana-s-busiest-tokenized-stock.md", "text": "https://wpnews.pro/news/robostrategy-s-robotics-fund-becomes-solana-s-busiest-tokenized-stock.txt", "jsonld": "https://wpnews.pro/news/robostrategy-s-robotics-fund-becomes-solana-s-busiest-tokenized-stock.jsonld"}}
