Bonk Inc. (BNKK), a Nasdaq-listed company that built a corporate treasury based on the eponymous memecoin that inhabits the Solana network, appeared among the holdings reported by some of the world’s largest financial firms.
The information comes from the 13F forms published with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on May 15, 2026, where different institutions reported stock positions in BNKK.
Among the top holders are Vanguard Capital Management, which reported 95,620 BNKK shares, while UBS Group reported 88,526. Geode Capital Management declared 60,261 shares and BlackRock reported 33,188. State Street also appears with 12,716 shares and Morgan Stanley with 2,604.
In addition, other financial firms and funds appear such as Tower Research Capital, Royal Bank of Canada, MML Investors Services and Susquehanna International Groupthe latter through positions in financial options.
It is worth clarifying that the presentations do not imply direct purchases of the BONK memecoin by the companies. The exposure corresponds to shares of a publicly traded company that until October 2025 operated under the name Safety Shot Inc., originally dedicated to the business of the Sure Shot line of energy drinks.
From that moment, the firm began a complete transformation of its corporate strategy. It changed its name, reserved the ticker BNKK on Nasdaq and began to position itself as a stock market vehicle aimed at the BONK ecosystem and decentralized finance (DeFi).
As part of that transition, Bonk Inc. announced the creation of a treasury of BONK tokens valued at $50 million and acquired an economic stake in letsBONK.fun, a memecoin launch platform. In addition, it signed an agreement with Monarq Asset Management, a firm specialized in digital asset management, to manage that treasury through active management and risk mitigation strategies.
Mitchell Rudy, core contributor to the BONK ecosystem and member of the board of directors, held At that time, the structure sought to create “a unique vehicle that allows public investors to directly participate in the success of one of the most vibrant DeFi communities.”
BNKK shares are currently trading near $2.17, after experiencing strong volatility movements since the announcement of the corporate transformation towards the memecoin ecosystem.
These purchases have attracted attention because they show how public companies are beginning to use traditional stock market structures to have indirect exposure to highly speculative assets whose usefulness is almost zerolike memecoins.
In any case, it should be noted that the size of reported positions remains small for firms such as BlackRock or Vanguard. For example, BlackRock’s reported stake is equivalent to about $87,000, a marginal figure compared to the approximately $11.6 trillion in assets under management (AUM) that the company manages globally.
Furthermore, 13F forms do not allow us to determine whether these positions respond to strategic investment decisions or if they are part of index funds, automated portfolios or investment vehicles that replicate market shares.
However, it reflects how the memecoin niche is beginning to intersect with Wall Street through public companies, corporate treasuries and financial structures that trade within regulated markets.
