DDC Expands Solana Exposure and Focuses on Staking with New Treasury Strategy

• DDC Increases Solana Investment to $34,4 Million
• Company focuses on staking and operating Solana validators
• Strategy in SOL contrasts with treasury model in BTC

DeFi Development Corporation (DDC), formerly known as Janover, has doubled down on its Solana (SOL) investment by acquiring 88.164 tokens, a move valued at approximately $11,5 million. With this, the company now has around $34,4 million in assets in the cryptocurrency, solidifying an aggressive strategy aimed at strengthening its treasury.

The acquisition comes on the heels of a rebranding that was completed this month following the purchase of the company by former executives from the Kraken exchange. DDC has been adopting a positioning aligned with the Solana ecosystem, with a focus on staking and validator operation, which differentiates its approach from other players that prioritize only the passive holding of digital assets.

While some companies opt for Bitcoin as their main treasury asset, DDC is betting on Solana’s yield potential through staking. This practice allows the company to generate revenue from its own assets, transforming SOL into a productive asset, in addition to directly contributing to the security and decentralization of the network.

The move also follows a growing trend among publicly traded companies that have been increasing their exposure to Solana. Recently, other organizations such as Sol Strategies and Upexi have also announced initiatives focused on the cryptocurrency, demonstrating an increase in institutional interest in projects within the Solana ecosystem.

DDC shares, traded under the ticker JNVR, appreciated after the announcement of the new acquisition, currently trading at US$23,47. In addition, the company maintains a strategic partnership with Kraken, which is expected to delegate part of its 4,5 million SOL tokens to validators operated by DDC itself.

This expansion in the company's strategy demonstrates how the market is paying closer attention to the viability of building active cryptocurrency-based treasuries that offer continuous returns, as is the case with Solana.
