Solana News Today: DeFi Development Corp Boosts Solana Holdings to $263 Million Amid Aggressive Accumulation Strategy

DeFi Development Corp has significantly increased its Solana treasury holdings to $263 million, reflecting a strategic expansion of its digital asset portfolio. The company recently acquired 110,000 SOL tokens for approximately $22 million, with an average purchase price of $201.68 per token [1]. This acquisition brings its total holdings to around 1,420,173 SOL and SOL-equivalent assets, including staking rewards and on-chain yields [1]. Despite a 4% drop in Solana’s price during the period, the value of the holdings remains substantial and illustrates the company’s aggressive accumulation approach [1].

DeFi Development Corp, formerly known as Janover, has transformed into a full-time entity focused on Solana accumulation and staking operations. The company not only builds its own treasury but also offers staking services to external investors, generating additional revenue streams. The firm employs an “Annualized Organic Yield” (AOY) metric to track the performance of its staking activities, with current projections indicating a 10% AOY, translating to roughly $63,000 in daily revenue from SOL staking [1].

The recent acquisition follows a $122.5 million convertible debt offering in July 2025, which included notes with a 5.5% annual interest rate and a 2030 maturity date. The offering also featured a 10% conversion premium relative to the company’s July 1, 2025, closing stock price of $21.01. This capital raise underscores DeFi Development Corp’s commitment to scaling its operations and increasing its influence in the Solana ecosystem [1].

Other publicly traded companies, such as Upexi and Sol Strategies, also maintain significant Solana holdings. However, DeFi Development Corp’s active and assertive buying strategy positions it as one of the most aggressive corporate purchasers in the Solana space [1]. The growth of its treasury has been reported by multiple independent platforms, including Coingecko, The Block, and Coinlive, adding credibility to the reported figures [1][2][3].

This development aligns with broader trends in the DeFi sector, where strong liquidity and treasury management are essential for long-term stability and innovation. The expansion of DeFi Development Corp’s Solana holdings not only reinforces its financial position but also enhances its ability to contribute to the development and governance of the Solana network [1].
