perpetual preferred stock financial

"Variable Rate Series C Perpetual Preferred Stock (Nasdaq: CHAD)"

A perpetual preferred stock is a type of share that behaves like a forever-lasting, fixed-income investment: it pays regular dividends and has no set maturity date, yet it represents ownership rather than a loan. It ranks ahead of common stock for dividend payments and in liquidation, so investors treat it as a mix between a bond and an equity stake; its value depends largely on the issuer’s credit and prevailing interest rates.

annualized dividend rate financial

"CHAD's 14.00% annualized dividend rate equates to $1.40 per share annually"

The annualized dividend rate is the amount of dividend income a share would generate over a full year, calculated by scaling a recent payment or periodic rate to a 12-month total — like converting a monthly paycheck into an annual salary. Investors use it to compare how much cash return different stocks or funds may provide and to estimate income relative to the current share price, though it does not guarantee future payments.

cumulative dividends financial

"Dividends are cumulative and payable each business day"

A feature of some dividend-paying securities—most often preferred shares—where any dividends the issuer skips or defers are recorded and must be paid later before other shareholders receive dividends. Think of it like missed subscription payments that pile up and must be settled first. For investors this matters because it increases the likelihood of receiving owed income and gives these holders priority on company cash, affecting income reliability and risk.

native staking technical

"generate recurring income through native staking and validator operations"

Native staking is locking a blockchain’s own token directly into that network to help validate transactions and keep the system running, in return for periodic rewards. Think of it like putting money into a communal machine that you help operate: your stake buys you a share of the operating rewards but also ties up your funds and exposes you to network or operator hiccups; investors care because it affects expected yield, liquidity, and voting influence over the protocol.

validator operations technical

"generate recurring income through native staking and validator operations"

Validator operations are the running and maintenance of the machines or services that check, confirm and add transactions to a blockchain ledger; think of them as the referees or cashiers that keep a digital payment system honest and running. Investors care because validators earn fees and staking rewards but also carry technical and security risks — poor maintenance, downtime, or rule violations can reduce returns or lead to penalties that affect the value of associated tokens.

Company Adds 8,881 SOL and SOL Equivalents, Marking Nine Consecutive Weeks of SOL Purchases

CHAD's 14.00% annual dividend rate continues to offer one of the most competitive income opportunities in digital credit

BOCA RATON, FL, Nov. 09, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- DeFi Development Corp. (Nasdaq: DFDV) (the "Company" or "DeFi Dev Corp."), the first U.S. public company with a treasury strategy built to accumulate and compound Solana ("SOL"), today announced that its total holdings of SOL and SOL equivalents increased by 8,881 SOL since its last update, bringing its treasury to approximately 2,609,829 SOL, up from 2,600,948 SOL.

The increase marks the Company's ninth consecutive week of SOL purchases since September 14, 2026, building on its return to active accumulation on August 27. The continued purchases reflect the Company's continued execution of its treasury strategy, focused on growing SOL holdings and increasing SOL per share ("SPS") over time.

“Our strategy remains consistent: accumulate SOL, compound our holdings, and grow SOL per share,” said Joseph Onorati, Chief Executive Officer of DeFi Development Corp. “We remain focused on disciplined execution and positioning the Company to create long-term shareholder value as the Solana ecosystem continues to develop.”

CHAD Continues to Offer One of the Highest Dividend Rates in Digital Credit
DeFi Development Corp.'s Variable Rate Series C Perpetual Preferred Stock (Nasdaq: CHAD) continues to offer a 14.00% annualized dividend rate, among the highest in the digital credit market.

Based on its $10.00 stated amount, CHAD's 14.00% annualized dividend rate equates to $1.40 per share annually. Dividends are cumulative and payable each business day when, as and if declared by the Company's Board of Directors.

CHAD offers income-focused investors a differentiated way to participate in the Company's SOL treasury strategy. Unlike traditional corporate treasuries, which typically hold cash and other low-yielding assets, DeFi Development Corp.'s SOL holdings can generate recurring income through native staking and validator operations. The Company believes this productive treasury provides a strong foundation for scaling its digital credit offerings.

“CHAD combines a 14% annualized dividend rate with a treasury of productive SOL assets, creating what we believe is a compelling proposition for income-focused investors,” said Onorati. “As we grow CHAD, our objective is to expand our capacity to accumulate SOL while continuing to drive long-term SOL per share growth for common shareholders.”

The Company intends to continue growing CHAD as a core component of its long-term capital strategy, providing income-focused investors with an alternative to common equity while supporting continued SOL accumulation.
