Solana Treasury Holdings and Warrant Dilution: A Complex Relationship

DeFi Development Corp. acquired 86,307 SOL for $16 million at an average price of $110.91, increasing its treasury by 4.7% to 2,195,926 SOL worth $426 million. However, the Nasdaq-listed firm's SOL per share metric dropped to $14.67 from $19.44 in September, a 25% decline despite the accumulation. The company's treasury decline followed broader struggles across digital asset treasury companies.

President Donald Trump's "One Big, Beautiful Bill" has significantly impacted the renewable energy sector by slashing incentives for solar and wind projects. Two leading solar stocks, Emeren Group Ltd. (NYSE:SOL) and Enphase Energy Inc. (NASDAQ:ENPH), have witnessed a sharp decline in their Quality metrics in Benzinga's Edge Stock Rankings over the past week, according to a Benzinga report https://www.benzinga.com/news/esg/25/10/48191166/as-trump-rolls-back-clean-energy-incentives-these-2-solar-stocks-are-seeing-a-sharp-drop-in-quality-metrics.

Emeren Group Ltd., a pure-play renewable energy developer, saw its Quality score drop from 34.95 to 4.84 in Edge Rankings. This decline coincides with a 57% year-over-year revenue decrease during the company's second quarter results, attributed to project execution delays and issues with governmental permits and approvals, the Benzinga report noted. The stock's overall performance in Edge Rankings is unfavorable, with a negative price trend in the short and medium terms.

Enphase Energy Inc., a manufacturer of solar micro-inverters, battery energy storage, and EV charging stations, saw its Quality score fall by 9.37 points, from 66.49 to 57.12. The company's stock has declined 51.21% year-to-date, with the loss of residential solar tax credits by the end of 2025 being a significant factor, the Benzinga report said. Enphase's stock scores high on Growth but poorly on other fronts, with an unfavorable price trend in the short, medium, and long terms.

Investor Chamath Palihapitiya noted that while Trump's rollback did not kill solar, it did eliminate several renewable energy subsidies that were distorting the market, the Benzinga report quoted him as saying. He emphasized that well-run solar businesses continued to thrive despite the changes.
