Solana Soars as DeFi Development Plans Massive $1 Billion Investment

  • DeFi Development Corp. (JNVR) filed to raise up to $1 billion, planning to use proceeds to buy more Solana (SOL) and fund corporate initiatives.
  • The firm has already purchased $48.2 million worth of SOL and plans to run validators to earn staking rewards as part of its Solana-focused treasury strategy.
  • Following a major leadership shakeup, JNVR shares surged over 970%, with the company shifting aggressively from real estate tech to a Solana-centered DeFi model.

Looks like the Solana hype train just picked up another serious passenger. DeFi Development Corp. (JNVR), formerly known as Janover, has officially filed with the SEC to raise up to $1 billion—and yep, a big chunk of that is gonna be used to buy more SOL.

🚨BREAKING BIG: @defidevcorp, which recently acquired and staked $48M worth of SOL, has filed a $1B shelf offering with the SEC.

The Plan: Stack SOL and Expand

According to the filing, DeFi Development’s offering will cover a range of securities—common and preferred stock, debt instruments, warrants, you name it. The proceeds? They’re planning to use them for “general corporate purposes,” but made it very clear that buying Solana is a top priority.

They’ve already dipped their toes in pretty deep, too—having grabbed $48.2 million worth of SOL already. And they’re not stopping there. Part of the strategy also includes running validators on the Solana network to stack up staking rewards.

Taking a page right out of Michael Saylor’s Bitcoin playbook, they’re looking to solidify SOL as a core treasury asset. More and more TradFi players seem to be cozying up to this model.

Trend Alert: Corporates Are Buying Solana

It’s not just DeFi Development getting in on the act.

SOL Strategies, led by Leah Wald (who co-founded Valkyrie Investments), just secured up to $500 million via a convertible note facility to double down on Solana investments. The message is getting louder: SOL isn’t just a trade anymore—it’s becoming a balance sheet asset for serious institutions.

New Leadership, New Moves

All of this Solana excitement comes right after DeFi Development’s major leadership shakeup earlier this month. They brought in a full squad of crypto veterans:

  • Joseph Onorati, ex-Kraken exec, now CEO and Chairman.
  • Parker White, also formerly of Kraken, now COO and CIO.
  • John Han, who did time at Binance and Kraken, now CFO.

The Solana-centered treasury strategy? Very much part of this new team’s game plan.

Oh, and if you’re wondering whether the market liked the move? DeFi Development’s stock surged over 970% after the leadership change—and even picked up another 4% in after-hours trading on Friday, now chilling around $54 a share.

Not bad for a company that pivoted from real estate lending tech to full-on DeFi and Solana accumulation mode.

DeFi Development’s making a huge bet that Solana isn’t just a trend—it’s an ecosystem worth building an entire corporate strategy around. And if this momentum holds? Might be a lot more companies filing “SOL acquisition” under general business expenses pretty soon.
