<p>Despite California's cannabis market facing historic lows, there's been a notable surge in demand for cannabis businesses. The paradox arises from the complex dynamics within the industry, where economic downturns and heightened competition have pushed prices down, yet consumer interest and business opportunities remain robust.</p>
<p>California&#8217;s cannabis market, once projected to soar post-legalization, has seen a decline in wholesale prices and revenues due to overproduction, regulatory hurdles, and competition from the illicit market. Many businesses are struggling with shrinking profit margins, excessive taxation, and operational costs. However, these challenges have also created opportunities for new businesses and investors looking to capitalize on the industry&#8217;s long-term potential.</p>
<p>Lower market prices have made it easier for entrepreneurs to enter the cannabis space, purchasing businesses or investing in startups at a fraction of the cost seen during the initial cannabis boom. As established players consolidate or exit, newcomers are stepping in with innovative approaches, such as niche products, craft cannabis, or tech-driven solutions, seeking to capture underserved segments of the market.</p>
<p>The market&#8217;s downward pressure on prices has also expanded access to consumers, leading to increased demand, especially among recreational users. Additionally, public support for cannabis remains strong, with growing recognition of its medicinal and therapeutic benefits, further driving consumption.</p>
<p>While California&#8217;s cannabis market is at a low, this period is fostering a reimagining of the industry. Savvy entrepreneurs and investors view this as a prime opportunity to enter or expand in the cannabis space, positioning themselves for future growth as the market stabilizes and regulations evolve.</p>

Increase in Demand For California Cannabis Assets Now That Market Is At All Time Low

<p><strong>Solid Power, Inc.</strong> (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SLDP#NASDAQ">SLDP</a>) stock is trading higher on Friday after the company was selected by the U.S. Department of Energy Office of Manufacturing and Energy Supply Chains to start negotiations for up to $50 million in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40955243/solid-power-says-it-is-selected-by-u-s-department-of-energy-for-up-to-50m-award-negotiation-for-cont">federal funding</a>.</p>
<p><strong>The Details:</strong> Federal funding, via the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, supports creating a continuous manufacturing process for sulfide-based solid electrolyte materials.</p>
<p>The sulfide-based solid electrolyte material plays an integral part in the expected performance advancements in energy density, safety, stability and cost of advanced all-solid-state batteries. Currently, Solid Power can produce up to 30 metric tons of electrolyte per year. Through this project, Solid Power expects to increase its production capability to 75 metric tons in 2026 and 140 metric tons in 2028.</p>
<p>&#8220;We view our selection for funding by the U.S. Department of Energy as validation of the promise sulfide-based all-solid-state batteries hold,&#8221; said<strong> John Van Scoter</strong>, President and CEO of Solid Power. </p>
<p>&#8220;By adopting a continuous manufacturing process for our electrolyte, we expect to be able to meet anticipated near-term demand and set Solid Power up to become the leading global producer of sulfide-based solid electrolyte.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>How To Buy Solid Power Shares</strong></p>
<p>By now you're likely curious about how to participate in the market for Solid Power (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SLDP#NASDAQ">SLDP</a>) &#8211; be it to purchase shares, or even attempt to bet against the company.</p>
<p>Buying shares is typically done through a brokerage account. You can find a list of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/best-stock-trading-platforms">possible trading platforms here.</a> Many will allow you to buy ‘fractional shares,' which allows you to own portions of stock without buying an entire share. For example, some stock, like Berkshire Hathaway, or Amazon.com, can cost thousands of dollars to own just one share. However, if you only want to invest a fraction of that, brokerages will allow you to do so. </p>
<p>In the the case of Solid Power (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SLDP#NASDAQ">SLDP</a>), which is trading at $1.49 as of publishing time, $100 would buy you 67.11 shares of stock.</p>
<p>If you're looking to bet against a company, the process is more complex. You'll need access to an options trading platform, or a broker who will allow you to ‘go short' a share of stock by lending you the shares to sell. The process of shorting a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock">stock can be found at this resource.</a> Otherwise, if your broker allows you to trade options, you can either buy a put option, or sell a call option at a strike price above where shares are currently trading &#8211; either way it allows you to profit off of the share price decline.</p>
