DeFi Development Corp. (JNVR) is raising its stakes by seeking to offer up to $1 billion in securities to enhance its Solana treasury strategy and support corporate initiatives.
Key Details:
- They have filed a registration statement with the SEC for this offering.
- The proceeds will be used for general corporate purposes like purchasing Solana tokens (SOL).
- Previously, the firm amassed approximately $48.2 million worth of SOL.
Recent Changes and Strategy
DeFi Development Corp., previously known as Janover, aims to purchase more Solana in light of a leadership shift that saw Joseph Onorati appointed as CEO and chairman.

In a shift similar to Michael Saylor’s bitcoin acquisition approach, companies are increasingly adding SOL to their balance sheets to attract traditional finance investors.

- As part of the new offering, DeFi Development has also registered over 1.24 million shares for early investors, which includes notable firms such as Pantera Capital and Payward (the parent company of Kraken).
Market Response
Following the leadership transition, shares of DeFi Development Corp soared over 970% and are currently trading around $54 per share.
