In a sign of growing interest within traditional healthcare circles toward digital finance, SRx Health Solutions, Inc. announced plans to launch a subsidiary that would borrow cryptocurrency, including Solana and Bitcoin, collateralized against profits derived from its Halo brand. As described by the company, the objective is to maximize financial flexibility while minimizing dilution for common shareholders.
The firm based in Tampa and trading under NYSE American SRXH described the plan as promising but still conceptual. If pursued, it would represent a major leap into DeFi for the integrated Canadian healthcare provider.
“Setting up a crypto-focused borrowing subsidiary that would take in Solana and/or Bitcoin, for instance, for a share of profits from Halo, the company’s North American asset, would protect dilution to common shareholders while granting financial flexibility to SRx business units,” Adesh Vora, the chairman of SRx Health Solutions, noted.
A Novel Financial Model Supported by Healthcare Revenues
The firm SRx is launching a cryptocurrency borrowing initiative, focusing on its Halo North America asset as collateral. Global investors can deposit digital currencies like Bitcoin or Solana into the new unit, allowing them to receive exposure to Halo’s performance and a share of profits as collateral.
The capital could be deployed into Halo’s marketing and sales budgets. The proposed structure aims to infuse capital into critical growth areas without further equity dilution, preserving shareholder value. It also places the company at the intersection of healthcare and digital finance, two sectors that are increasingly seeking synergies. The company is looking forward to discussing the plan with the crypto community.
Hitting Financial Flexibility Targets Without Diluting Shares
SRx is proposing a crypto-based borrowing mechanism to diversify its capital sources beyond traditional equity and debt markets. The company believes that tapping into the liquidity and enthusiasm of the crypto ecosystem could enable a more flexible financial toolbox.
The concept is opportune considering the intersection of blockchain and corporate finance, as DeFi platforms have gained popularity in recent years. SRx’s proposal adapts some of these principles to real-world and business, specifically the profits from Halo’s North American operations. The company is in its early stages, intending to engage with the crypto community as it develops the model’s structure and assesses the most effective approach to execute the model.

Strategic Initiative Forward-Looking Statement
As part of regulatory requirements, SRx issued a disclaimer with a forward-looking statement indicating that the attempt to launch a borrowing unit based on cryptocurrency is speculative in nature and involves forecasts that may not come to fruition. The statement “some or all of the results anticipated by these forward-looking statements may not be achieved” was noted and emphasis was placed on the identified potential risk factors, the details of which can be found in the filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
Nonetheless, SRx’s announcement reveals a more extensive phenomenon regarding non-tech companies looking into blockchain-technology-related financing as part of their strategic toolkit. With its proposal to merge crypto lending with healthcare revenues, SRx is venturing into markets that remain largely unexplored but could be on the verge of developing a revolutionary financing model toward which other companies might gravitate.
