In September, the company purchased approximately $117 million worth of SOL tokens, including a fresh buy of 196,141 tokens at an average price of $202.76 each, planned for staking to generate yield. The move reflects DFDV’s continued execution of its strategy to accumulate Solana irrespective of short-term market volatility. The newly purchased assets will be staked across multiple validators, including DFDV’s own infrastructure, as part of its yield-generating operations.
Expanding position and strengthening validator infrastructure
The latest purchase represents a 4.7% increase in the company’s total SOL holdings, marking another phase in its deliberate deployment of capital from recent equity financing. Founded by former Kraken employees, DeFi Dev Corp has rapidly grown into one of the top five public holders of Solana, behind entities such as Forward Industries, Galaxy Digital, Jump Crypto, and Multicoin Capital.
The firm’s validator infrastructure not only supports its internal staking operations but also powers those of external clients, showcasing its expanding influence within the Solana ecosystem.
Partnership with superteam japan marks global expansion
DeFi Dev Corp’s latest move follows its recent partnership with Superteam Japan, an initiative aimed at broadening Solana’s footprint in Asia. The collaboration led to the creation of DFDV JP, Japan’s first Solana-focused treasury project, under the company’s Treasury Accelerator program.
This program supports international expansion through balance sheet seeding, validator infrastructure, and operational guidance. Superteam Japan’s alliances with Minna Bank and Fireblocks further position DFDV to deepen Solana’s integration within Japan’s highly regulated digital asset landscape.
