TAMPA, Fla., June 26, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Upexi, Inc. (NASDAQ: UPXI) (the “Company” or “Upexi”), a leading Solana-focused digital asset treasury company and consumer brands owner, today announced that it has been added as a member of the Russell Microcap^® Index in connection with the June 2026 Russell US Indexes Reconstitution. The addition becomes effective at the open of U.S. equity markets on Monday, June 29, 2026, following the finalization of the reconstituted indexes after the market close on Friday, June 26, 2026.

Russell US Indexes are reconstituted to reflect changes in the U.S. equity market over time, with membership determined primarily by objective, rules-based market-capitalization rankings measured as of the April 30, 2026 “rank day.” The Russell Microcap® Index measures the performance of the microcap segment of the U.S. equity market, comprising the smallest securities in the Russell 2000^® Index together with the next group of smaller U.S.-listed companies. Membership remains in place until the next scheduled reconstitution.

Russell indexes are widely used by institutional and retail investors, with approximately $12.2 trillion in investor assets benchmarked to or invested in products based on the Russell US Indexes.

“Inclusion in the Russell Microcap Index is a meaningful milestone that reflects the growth and transformation of Upexi over the past year, as we have grown our Solana treasury to more than two million SOL,” said Allan Marshall, Chief Executive Officer of Upexi. “Membership broadens our visibility within the institutional investment community and among the index funds and active managers that reference the Russell indexes. We believe it supports our objective of building a deeper, more diversified shareholder base as we continue to execute our disciplined and accretive digital asset treasury strategy.”

Upexi’s digital asset treasury strategy is centered on acquiring and holding Solana (SOL) in a disciplined and accretive manner, while utilizing staking, intelligent capital issuance, and discounted locked token purchases as value-accrual mechanisms.
