- DeFi Development Corp’s $5B war chest strategy aims to accumulate and stake SOL, positioning the company as a major long-term backer of the Solana ecosystem.
- Despite short-term price dips, Solana’s growing validator infrastructure and institutional alignment reflect strong long-term support.
DeFi Development Corp (Nasdaq: DFDV), a U.S.-listed public company, just made a bold move that could shape Solana’s future. This development is in line with the new partnership between BONK and DeFi Development Corp, highlighted in a previous Crypto News Flash (CNF) report. The aim of the partnership was to power Solana.
On June 12, 2025, the company announced a massive $5 billion equity line of credit (ELOC) through a deal with RK Capital Management, according to GlobeNewswire. Regarding the company’s profile, it is further detailed:
The Company is an AI-powered online platform that connects the commercial real estate industry by providing data and software subscriptions, as well as value-add services, to multifamily and commercial property professionals, as the Company connects the increasingly complex ecosystem that stakeholders have to manage.
In this article, we will discuss in more detail on how the most important goal is to increase “SOL per share,” as recently shared in a tweet by DeFi Dev Corp. This reflects how much Solana backs each share of DeFi Development Corp (DFDV) stock following the $5B war chest secured to accumulate more SOL.
First, unlike traditional fundraises that lock in a one-time price, this approach allows DFDV to buy SOL when it makes the most sense to do so.
Second, reports on mid-May highlighted that the company already holds over 609,000 SOL, worth about $88 million. In short, they also use SOL to earn more SOL and can reinvest it — putting it to work. This is possible because DFDV operates its own validator nodes on the Solana blockchain.
Current SOL Price Is Down, Yet Long-Term Support Grows
According to CNF’s latest analysis, a major Solana price shift is emerging on-chain amid positive liquidity buildup, especially as Solana price is poised for a $212 breakout. Despite this bullish news, SOL’s price dipped around 8.09% in the last 24 hours.
Lastly, as mentioned before, DFDV buys SOL, stakes it through their validators, earns more SOL, and reinvests those rewards back into the system. Over time, this strategy may also can increases their total SOL holdings without having to rely solely on buying from the open market.
At the time of writing, Solana (SOL) is trading at $146.29, reflecting a slight decrease of 0.98% over the past week. See the SOL price chart below for the latest movement.
