Straight-shootin' the Sol sol
Nasdaq-listed firm reaches significant achievement as Solana's treasury surpasses $100 million mark.
Scoop: DeFi Development Corporation (DFDV) went all-in on Solana, announceing it snapped up a whopping 172,670 Solana (SOL) tokens on Monday, bolstering its SOL stash to nearly 600,000 tokens. That inflated its SOL's worth to a cool $105 million, and the stock sensationally skyrocketed 19% on the day!
DFDV's chief, Joseph Onorati, told Decrypt: "Hitting that $100 mil in Solana ain't just a milestone, it's a stepping stone. We're built to stockpile fast and smart, homie!"
Based on the CEO's bold words, this is far from a one-time move. The firm's been amassing SOL since it started the buying spree a month back, making this its tenth SOL pickup. The demand's mainly driven by Solana's core focus on the platform, with the company intending to keep the bucks coming.
Now let's talk street cred: since embracing crypto, DFDV's hiked its stock price 74% in the last month and a whopping 1,700% since the start of the year! Shares shot up 19% on Monday following the SOL announcement, with some major indices like S&P 500 and Nasdaq climbing around 2.9% and 3.9%, respectively, after U.S. and China found a partial trade truce.
DFDV's also planning a 7-for-1 stock split to make the stock more tradable. The split's being done to increase share access and liquidity—cool move!
Meanwhile, Solana didn't lag behind, up nearly 22% this week and reaching a worth of $175. Solana, the sixth largest crypto by market cap, is 40% below its January all-time high, according to CoinGecko.
Last week, DFDV went beyond the token purchase and acquired a Solana validator business, which'll help boost the layer-1 blockchain's proof-of-stake network while also earning native staking rewards. Additional strategic moves are also on the cards as the company seeks over $1 billion in capital for further SOL expansion.
