DeFi Development announces $125M equity raise for Solana treasury

DeFi Development (DFDV) entered into definitive agreements for a $125 million equity offering priced at $12.50 per share. The transaction is expected to close on Thursday, August 28, 2025, subject to customary closing conditions. Pursuant to the terms of the subscription agreements, the Company is selling an aggregate of approximately 4.2 million shares of its common stock at a purchase price of $12.50 per share and pre-funded warrants to purchase an aggregate of approximately 5.7 million shares of its common stock, at a purchase price of $12.4999 per share with an exercise price of $0.0001 per share. The Company will receive a mix of cash and locked SOL as consideration in the offering, reinforcing DFDV’s strategy of maximizing Solana per Share growth. Net proceeds will be deployed into both spot SOL and discounted locked SOL, enabling the Company to expand its treasury holdings. As a result, the transaction is expected to be NAV/share accretive and, given the discount capture on SOL, SPS accretive. The controlling stockholders of the Company have executed a written consent approving the issuance of the shares underlying the pre-funded warrants, which is sufficient to authorize this action pursuant to the listing rules of Nasdaq. The Company will issue an information statement describing the corporate action in more detail, which will be furnished to stockholders for information purposes only, pursuant to Section 14(c) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
