DeFi Development Lifts Share Buyback Authorization to $100 Million

Management frames buybacks as a tool to grow Solana-per-share when the stock trades below its crypto holdings.

Overview

  • The board expanded the open‑market repurchase program from $1 million to up to $100 million under Rule 10b‑18, with an initial $10 million threshold that requires a board update before further purchases.
  • Repurchased shares will be retired or held as treasury stock, and the program is discretionary with the ability to be modified, suspended, or discontinued.
  • DFDV shares climbed roughly 4% to 6% intraday after the announcement, with one report citing a 5.1% gain.
  • The Solana‑focused company holds about 2.10 million SOL and runs validator infrastructure to earn staking rewards and fees.
  • Executives said they will weigh buybacks against additional SOL purchases based on mNAV, which Decrypt reports is below 1 as the firm’s Solana holdings exceed its market capitalization.
