DFDV also revealed that its SOL and equivalent asset holdings have grown by approximately 11% since reporting its second-quarter results on August 12.

This instrument is designed to generate returns through SOL staking and validator node operations to fund dividend payments and act as a financing mechanism for further SOL accumulation.
According to Decrypt, Solana treasury company DeFi Development Corp (DFDV) announced the acquisition of an additional 55,491 SOL tokens (approximately $5.78 million), bringing its total SOL holdings to approximately 2.389 million, representing a roughly 2% increase from August 27. Meanwhile, the company announced the launch of a $300 million ATM program for CHAD variable-rate Series C perpetual preferred shares, with New York broker R.F. Lafferty & Co. acting as the sole sales agent, and the proceeds intended primarily to further increase SOL holdings. The company noted that issuance will only occur when the price is at or above a $10 par value per share, with no mandatory selling requirements. CHAD's first issuance was completed on September 8, raising approximately $11 million, with Fundstrat founder Tom Lee participating in the subscription. As CHAD comprises non-convertible preferred shares, any subsequent issuances will not dilute the equity of common shareholders.
