PRELIMINARY PROSPECTUS

Up to 22,308,642 shares of Common Stock

This prospectus relates to the offer and sale, from time to time, by the selling holders identified in this prospectus (the “Selling Holders”), or their permitted transferees, of up to 22,308,642 shares of Common Stock, par value $0.001 (“Common Stock”) of Soluna Holdings, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company,” “We,” or “Us”). These shares of Common Stock consist of:

20,000,000 shares of Common Stock (including 59,382 shares that have been issued as a commitment fee) that we may, at our discretion, elect to issue and sell to YA II PN, Ltd. (the “Investor”) from time to time after the date of this prospectus, pursuant to the Standby Equity Purchase Agreement, dated as of August 12, 2024, entered into by and between the Company and the Investor (the “SEPA”);

2,000,000 shares of Common Stock (including 5,938 shares that have been issued as a consent fee on the Investor commitment fee) that we may issue to a Selling Holder as a consent fee to in connection with the SEPA; and

308,642 shares of Common Stock issued to another Selling Holder.

Pursuant to the terms of the SEPA, the Company agreed to issue and sell to the Investor, from time to time, and the Investor agreed to purchase from the Company, up to $25 million of the Company’s shares of Common Stock. We are also registering hereunder the resale of an additional 308,642 shares of our authorized shares of Common Stock, representing shares issued to a Selling Holder.

Under the SEPA, shares of Common Stock may be issued and sold to the Investor under one of two pricing options, at the election of the Company. Under the first option (“Pricing Option 1”), the Company will sell the shares of Common Stock to the Investor at 96% of the Market Price (as defined below) for any period commencing (i) if submitted to the Investor prior to 9:00 a.m. Eastern Time on a trading day, at the open of trading on such day or (ii) if submitted to the Investor after 9:00 a.m. Eastern Time on a trading day, upon receipt by the Company of written confirmation of acceptance of the advance notice by the Investor and, in either case, ending at 4:00 p.m. New York City time on the applicable advance notice date (the “Option 1 Pricing Period”). Under the second option (“Pricing Option 2”), the Company will sell the shares of Common Stock to the Investor at 97% of the Market Price for the three consecutive trading days commencing on the advance notice date (the “Option 2 Pricing Period”). “Market Price” is defined as, for any Option 1 Pricing Period, the daily volume weighted average price (“VWAP”) of the Common Stock on Nasdaq during the Option 1 Pricing Period, and for any Option 2 Pricing Period, the lowest VWAP of the Common Stock on the Nasdaq during the Option 2 Pricing Period.

We may not issue or sell any shares of Common Stock to the Investor under the SEPA that, when aggregated with all other shares of Common Stock then beneficially owned by the Investor and its affiliates (as calculated pursuant to Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and Rule 13d-3 promulgated thereunder), would result in the Investor and its affiliates beneficially owning more than 9.99% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (the “Beneficial Ownership Limitation”). In addition, the number of shares of Common Stock that we may issue to the Investor under the SEPA may be limited by the number of our authorized shares of Common Stock. As of October 2, 2024, we were authorized to issue a maximum of 75 million shares of Common Stock, and we had an aggregate of 7,964,058 shares of Common Stock outstanding. Assuming a (i) Market Price of $3.00 and, (ii) no beneficial ownership limitations, we may issue up to 8,680,556 shares of Common Stock under Pricing Option 1 and up to 8,591,065 shares of Common Stock under Pricing Option 2, which would reflect approximately 52.2% and 51.9%, respectively, of the outstanding shares of our Common Stock as of the date hereof after giving effect to such issuances. This does not include consent fees paid to a Selling Holder in connection with advances under the SEPA.

We may not have access to the full $25 million amount available under the SEPA due to the reasons noted above. Please see “Selling Holders—Material Relationships with Selling Holders—SEPA” for more information regarding the SEPA.

The shares of Common Stock that may be sold by the Selling Holders and the shares of Common Stock that may be issued by us are collectively referred to in this prospectus as the “Offered Securities.” We will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale by the Selling Holders of the Offered Securities.

We will bear all costs, expenses and fees in connection with the registration of Offered Securities. The Selling Holders will bear all commissions and discounts, if any, attributable to their respective sales of Offered Securities. We are registering certain shares of our Common Stock for sale by the Selling Holders pursuant to various registration rights agreements with the Selling Holders. See the section of this prospectus entitled “Selling Holders” for more information.

The Selling Holders may offer and sell the Offered Securities owned by them covered by this prospectus from time to time. The Selling Holders may offer and sell the Offered Securities owned by them covered by this prospectus in a number of different ways and at varying prices.
