BOCA RATON, FL, Sept. 17, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- DeFi Development Corp. (NASDAQ:DFDV) (the "Company") the first public company with a treasury strategy built to accumulate and compound Solana ("SOL"), today announced the acquisition of 62,745 SOL. This purchase brings the Company's total holdings to 2,095,748 SOL, valued at approximately $499 million.

Below is a summary of DeFi Dev Corp.'s current SOL position and key per-share metrics as of September 16, 2025:

Total SOL & SOL Equivalents Held: 2,095,748
Total SOL & SOL Equivalents Held (USD): Approximately $499 million
Total Shares Outstanding as of September 16, 2025: 25,670,108
SOL per Share ("SPS"): 0.0816
SPS (USD): $19.44

The newly acquired SOL will be held long-term and staked to a variety of validators, including DeFi Dev Corp.'s own Solana validators to generate native yield.

Note on Share Count and SPS: The reported share count reflects only issued and outstanding shares as of today. None of the pre-paid warrants from the recent equity financing are included in the current figure. Including warrants from that transaction, the adjusted share count would be approximately 31.5 million. SPS will fully reflect this in future updates, alongside the deployment of the remaining cash proceeds from the equity financing into additional SOL purchases. Based on current expectations, the Company does not anticipate SPS falling below the pre-financing level of 0.0675, even after full warrant impact — reinforcing continued SPS growth.
