New @solana Treasury Company: iSpecimen (NASDAQ: ISPC) iSpecimen to Establish $200m Corporate Treasury Built Around #Solana Cryptocurrency with BlockArrow Woburn, MA – August 7, 2025 – iSpecimen Inc. (NASDAQ: ISPC), a technology-enabled company modernizing the way human biospecimens are sourced for scientific research, today announced a major strategic initiative aimed at integrating digital assets into its business model. The company is looking to build an up to $200 million corporate treasury reserve based on the Solana blockchain ecosystem. iSpecimen has retained WestPark Capital to advise on the initiative with any funds that may be allocated or raised to be earmarked for building a digital asset treasury that will support long-term value creation and fuel innovation across iSpecimen’s digital infrastructure. To ensure the initiative is guided by rigorous strategy and strong compliance, iSpecimen has also contracted with BlockArrow, a leading digital asset advisory and management firm. BlockArrow Capital is a Chicago-based digital asset investment firm founded in 2019, managing two distinct strategies. Fund I is a liquid, actively managed crypto portfolio focused on altcoin outperformance and tactical positioning. Fund II is a Fund of Funds providing diversified exposure to institutional-grade crypto hedge funds and venture strategies, rebalanced at market extremes to optimize risk-adjusted returns. Rooted in long-only, thesis-driven strategies that combine on-chain metrics with fundamental research, founders Thomas Sutker and Dylan Gold draw upon a range of institutional tools—including Coinbase Custody, Ledger, FalconX, Dune Analytics, Token Terminal, and Nansen—to support their data-driven asset management approach. iSpecimen plans to feature security and investor protection as central components of its treasury structure. BlockArrow employs such a layered security model including offline cold storage, insured custody through Coinbase Custody, and institutional-grade risk controls. Coinbase Custody’s insurance coverage extends to risks such as theft, damage, or operational failures, backed by Lloyd’s of London syndicates. “This initiative represents a bold step forward in iSpecimen’s pursuit of technological leadership in the life sciences,” said Rob Lim, CEO of iSpecimen. “By building a Solana-based treasury, we believe that we are aligning with the future of decentralized infrastructure and digital assets. Our collaborations with WestPark Capital and BlockArrow are expected to provide the expertise and capital needed to make this vision a reality.” “At BlockArrow, we specialize in secure, compliant, and forward-thinking crypto strategies,” added Thomas Sutker, Co-Founder of BlockArrow. The Company plans to diversify its future digital treasury across high-performing crypto assets, with a focus on liquidity, capital preservation, and sustainable growth and plans to initially select Solana as the foundation for its digital asset treasury due to its unique strengths, including: ●High Throughput & Scalability: Solana’s hybrid Proof-of-History and Proof-of-Stake consensus mechanisms allow for fast, low-latency transactions at scale. ●Low Transaction Costs: Minimal fees make Solana ideal for handling frequent, small transactions—a key requirement for future decentralized applications in research. ●Developer-Friendly Tools: With an active developer community and frameworks like Anchor, Solana offers a strong base for building custom dApps. ●Enterprise Security: The Solana Virtual Machine (SVM) provides robust execution for smart contracts with a focus on security and performance. sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/…
