DeFi Development Corp. updated its Solana-focused treasury guidance by lowering its SOL per Share (“SPS”) target for June 2026 to 0.085, down from prior guidance of 0.1650. This means the company now expects to hold less SOL per common share by that date than previously planned.
The company reaffirmed its long-term objective of reaching 1.0 SPS by December 2028, indicating that while the near-term accumulation outlook has softened, its multi‑year Solana accumulation strategy and broader participation in the Solana ecosystem remain in place.

DeFi Development Corp. filed a Form S-1 to offer a new Variable Rate Series C Perpetual Preferred Stock, branded as “CHAD Stock,” with a stated amount and initial liquidation preference of $100 per share.

DeFi Development has applied to list the CHAD Stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “CHAD,” while its common stock continues to trade under “DFDV.” The preferred stock ranks senior to common equity but junior to $210.9 million of consolidated indebtedness and existing Series A preferred stock.
