DeFi Development Corp Secures $112.5M to Strengthen Solana Treasury
DeFi Development Corp Expands Its Solana-Focused Treasury Strategy
Increased Capital Raising Efforts
DeFi Development Corp (DFDV), a publicly traded company on Nasdaq, has revealed plans to issue $112.5 million in convertible notes aimed at enhancing its cryptocurrency treasury strategy centered on Solana. This initiative is part of the firm’s broader goal to bolster its investments in Solana’s native token, SOL, while also seeking other strategic avenues within the digital asset market.
Initially targeting $100 million, the company has opted to increase its offering to $112.5 million. The offering will include convertible notes, a form of debt that can later be converted into company shares. These notes are set to mature in 2030 and will carry an annual interest rate of 5.5%, with interest payments made semi-annually.
Investors will have the option to convert their notes into equity at a price of $23.11 per share, which reflects a 10% premium based on the stock’s closing price as of July 1, 2025. Additionally, the company is providing investors with the chance to acquire an extra $25 million in notes, with the transaction expected to finalize by July 7, 2025.
Strategic Focus on Acquiring Solana Tokens
DeFi Development Corp is concentrating its strategy on the acquisition and retention of Solana tokens (SOL). As of May 2025, the firm had amassed over 600,000 SOL tokens. Approximately $75 million of the funds raised through the convertible note offering will be allocated to purchasing additional SOL tokens.
To further enhance its holdings, the company is employing innovative financial strategies, including a prepaid forward stock purchase transaction, to mitigate risks for investors participating in the offering. This prepaid forward mechanism will allow investors to hedge their positions in the notes offering, enabling them to buy or sell shares of the company at predetermined future dates. This approach aims to provide added security for investors while allowing DeFi Development Corp to continue expanding its Solana treasury.
Growth of Solana-Centric Companies and ETFs
DeFi Development Corp is not alone in its commitment to Solana as a key component of its cryptocurrency treasury strategy. Other companies, such as Sol Strategies, a Toronto-based firm, are also pursuing capital generation to invest in Solana. For example, Sol Strategies has filed a $1 billion shelf prospectus to fund the acquisition of Solana tokens and expand its validator operations.
Moreover, Upexi, a consumer products company, has announced plans to raise $100 million specifically for purchasing Solana tokens. The recent fundraising efforts by DeFi Development Corp follow its successful acquisition of a $5 billion line of credit in June 2025. Despite a significant drop of over 60% in its share price since its peak in May, the company’s strategic pivot towards Solana has resulted in an impressive 3,500% increase in its stock value. Recent reports indicate that the firm holds approximately 621,313 SOL tokens, valued at around $107 million.
