Solana's price surged Monday as DeFi Development Corporation (DFDV) announced a significant acquisition of nearly 1 million SOL tokens, making it the sixth-largest cryptocurrency on its balance sheet [1]. The company purchased 141,383 SOL between July 14 and July 20, at an average price of $133.53, representing approximately $19 million [1]. This acquisition is part of a growing trend of companies adding digital assets to their balance sheets, including bitcoin and ether [2].DFDV raised $19.2 million through an equity line of credit facility and issued 740,000 shares of common stock to fund the purchase [1]. The company's SOL position includes rewards from staking and on-chain activities, with an additional 867 SOL earned between July 14 and July 20 [1]. The newly acquired SOL will be held long-term and staked to various validators, including DeFi Development's own Solana validators, to generate native yield.
DFDV's stock fell 3% by market close, but remains 34 times higher than its January opening price [1]. The company's medium-term objective is to reach 1.0 SOL per Share (SPS) by December 2028, and near-term guidance is to achieve 0.1650 SPS by June 2026, representing approximately 261% growth from Monday's level of 0.0457 [1].
This strategic move reflects a broader institutional trend towards incorporating cryptocurrencies into corporate balance sheets. Companies like Tesla and MicroStrategy have also added significant amounts of bitcoin to their treasuries, signaling increasing market validation of digital assets as legitimate treasury assets [3].
