Over the last month, DeFi Development Corp. issued several Solana- and crypto-focused updates. A data report on Solana’s 2025 metrics on Jan 5 saw a 23.41% move, while the 2025 Year in Review on Jan 7 accompanied a -9.09% reaction despite highlighting $378 million raised and a +853% 2025 stock return.

BOCA RATON, FL, Jan. 22, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- DeFi Development Corp. (Nasdaq: DFDV) (the “Company”), the first publicly traded Digital Asset Treasury (“DAT”) focused on accumulating and compounding Solana (“SOL”), today announced the launch of DisclaimerCoin (“DONT”), marking the first time in history that a publicly traded corporation has created and deployed a memecoin. At the time of release, the token has already been created using the Bonk.fun platform and is available to the public via a Raydium Liquidity Pool here: https://raydium.io/launchpad/token/?mint=FbmmdcCYHL7WETG89xtWmNFMzQAaQ8Zs9NXVbimibonk
DONT represents a new chapter in the Company’s effort to expand the frontier of corporate onchain innovation. The initiative is designed to demonstrate what is possible when modern corporations engage directly with blockchain infrastructure, token issuance, and internet-native culture at scale.
DONT is not sponsored, endorsed, or supported by any outside influencers, KOLs, foundations, venture firms, or ecosystem partners. It has no roadmap, no advisors, no team, no utility, and no promises. It is an organically launched experiment by DFDV, making it the first memecoin to be created by a publicly traded corporation.
A New Corporate Onchain Initiative
The launch of DONT advances three of the Company’s long-standing strategic objectives:
- Push the limits of corporate onchain innovation.
DFDV has consistently experimented with onchain corporate actions, including becoming the first DAT to tokenize its stock, the first to adopt a Liquid Savings Token, leverage onchain yield strategies to generate superior risk-adjusted yield, and more. - Demonstrate the technical advantages of Solana.
Through DONT, the Company seeks to highlight Solana’s best-in-class user experience, transaction speeds, scalability, throughput, fee efficiency, and real user activity under live network conditions. - Revive culture and activity within the Solana ecosystem.
DONT aims to help reignite the ecosystem’s grassroots cultural energy, or what is often referred to by market participants as the “Solana trenches.”
A First-of-Its-Kind Message: DONT Buy It
In addition to being the first memecoin ever created by a publicly traded corporation, DONT is also the first token launched with an explicit message not to buy it. Its defining feature is its disclaimer:
DISCLAIMER: This is not financial advice. This is not a recommendation. DisclaimerCoin (DONT) has no value, no utility, and no future. It is a joke, and not even a very good one. DONT you know?
Memecoins are pure PVP. Yeah, this might be the first memecoin ever created by a publicly traded company, DeFi Development Corp. (Nasdaq: DFDV). Yeah, maybe it revives the trenches and showcases Solana’s superior performance. But still, DONT buy it. There is no roadmap, no KOLs, no cabal, no pitch deck, no whitepaper… nothing. Sure, DFDV intends to hold
Still, DONT buy it. If you’re still reading this, we strongly advise you to stop right now.

Should you decide to proceed, you acknowledge that you aren’t entitled to the following: refunds, complaints, good judgment, emotional stability, and the ability to tell your friends, followers, family, or hedge fund managers that you’re a savvy investor.
For the final time, please, just DONT do it.
Token Distribution
DONT has a fully transparent allocation strategy, designed to ensure corporate alignment, community engagement, and awareness.
- Held on DFDV’s balance sheet forever:
30% - Ecosystem, Growth, & Community:
20% - Early Contributors:
10% - Public Liquidity Pool:
