Franklin Solana Trust Announces Monthly Cash Distributions of Staking Rewards

What Happened
Franklin Solana Trust (SOEZ) filed an 8-K on August 26, 2026, reporting that the Fund’s Sponsor, on behalf of the Fund, intends to liquidate staking rewards for cash and distribute those cash proceeds to shareholders on a monthly basis. Distributions will generally be calculated on an approximately two-month lag (for example, staking rewards received in January would be re-staked to earn additional rewards, then the January rewards would be liquidated and paid out in March). The filing directs investors to the Fund’s website for additional information: https://www.franklintempleton.com/investments/options/exchange-traded-funds/products/47315/SINGLCLASS/franklin-solana-etf/SOEZ.

Key Details

• Filed Form 8-K on August 26, 2026 (Accession: 0001193125-26-368251).
• The Sponsor will liquidate staking rewards for cash and distribute to shareholders monthly.
• Distributions are generally calculated on an ~two-month lag (example: January rewards paid in March).
• Staking rewards received are re‑staked first to earn additional staking rewards before liquidation for cash.

Why It Matters
This provides shareholders with a clearer, regular cash payout of the Fund’s staking rewards, rather than holding or solely reinvesting those rewards within the Fund. The two-month lag describes the timing investors should expect for when staking rewards are converted to cash and paid out. For more details on timing and distribution mechanics, investors should consult the Fund’s website or the full 8-K.
