EXCLUSIVE: DeFi Development Adds $9.9 Million In Solana Tokens Underscoring Its Commitment Towards Digital Asset Treasury Strategy
DeFi Development Corporation (formerly Janover) (NASDAQ:JNVR) announced on Wednesday that it will purchase approximately 65,305 Solana (CRYPTO: SOL) tokens.
Following the transaction, DeFi Development Corporation now holds approximately 317,273 SOL, valued at $48.2 million, including staking rewards. Other metrics include:
Total Shares Outstanding: Approximately 1.5M
SOL per share (SPS): 0.22, valued at $32.88 per share.
SOL/share growth (SPS growth vs. last purchase): 40%.
A portion of the Solana acquired includes locked SOL sourced via BitGo's OTC desk, which facilitates purchases from institutional sellers subject to time-based unlock schedules.
Any tokens acquired through this program will be held on a long-term basis and staked to generate native yield.
Locked SOL refers to tokens held under contractual restrictions, typically from vesting schedules, bankruptcies, venture allocations, or project-specific lockups.
These tokens cannot be transferred on-chain until their unlock period expires, but can still be bought and sold over-the-counter between qualified parties.
"This is a clear example of the strategic execution we've built our treasury strategy around," said Joseph Onorati, Chief Executive Officer of DeFi Development Corporation. "By gaining access to locked discounted inventory through a trusted partner like BitGo, we're able to accumulate some of our SOL below market prices while deepening our alignment with the Solana ecosystem."
On Tuesday, Janover changed its corporate name to DeFi Development Corporation, reflecting its evolution into a crypto treasury vehicle designed for public market investors. The company will change its ticker to the symbol 'DFDV' on the Nasdaq at a future date.
Last week, in April, Janover announced the purchase of 80,567 Solana, valued at approximately $10.5 million. This purchase marks the third execution under its newly adopted digital asset treasury strategy. This purchase brings Janover's total Solana holdings to 163,651.7, valued at approximately $21.2 million.
In April, Janover purchased approximately $4.6 million Solana, marking the first execution under its newly adopted digital asset treasury strategy.
The company will immediately begin staking its SOL position, generating revenue while supporting the Solana network. This marks the first allocation of capital from the company's recently completed $42 million financing round.
On Wednesday, DeFi Development (or Janover) appointed Fei 'John' Han as Chief Financial Officer and Dan Kang as Head of Investor Relations. The new appointments underscore the company's commitment as it scales its crypto-forward treasury strategy.
Former CFO Bruce Rosenbloom will remain with the company as EVP of Finance.
Price Action: JNVR stock is up 24.80% at $55.98 at the last check Wednesday.

MarineMax, Bloomin' Brands, Portillo's, Beyond Meat, and Estée Lauder Shares Are Soaring, What You Need To Know
A number of stocks jumped in the afternoon session after the major indices rebounded (Nasdaq +1.5%, S&P 500 +1.0%) as reports pointed to easing tensions between Israel and Iran. The Wall Street Journal said senior Iranian officials had signaled a willingness to restart stalled nuclear talks, on the condition that Washington refrain from joining Israel's ongoing strikes. This development triggered a significant decline in oil prices, easing inflation concerns. Also, it is possible some investors were buying the dip following the sell-off at the end of the previous week. The stock market overreacts to news, and big price drops can present good opportunities to buy high-quality stocks. Among others, the following stocks were impacted: Boat & Marine Retailer company MarineMax (NYSE:HZO) jumped 6.9%. Is now the time to buy MarineMax? Access our full analysis report here, it's free. Sit-Down Dining company Bloomin' Brands (NASDAQ:BLMN) jumped 13.6%. Is now the time to buy Bloomin' Brands? Access our full analysis report here, it's free.

Personal Care company Estée Lauder (NYSE:EL) jumped 7.9%. Is now the time to buy Estée Lauder? Access our full analysis report here, it's free. Bloomin' Brands's shares are extremely volatile and have had 42 moves greater than 5% over the last year. But moves this big are rare even for Bloomin' Brands and indicate this news significantly impacted the market's perception of the business. The previous big move we wrote about was 3 days ago when the stock dropped 8.6% on the news that the major indices pulled back (Nasdaq -1.3%, S&P 500 -1.1%) as Israel carried out significant strikes on Iranian nuclear and military sites, dramatically escalating fears of a broader conflict in the Middle East. This development has sent crude oil prices surging, as investors fear potential disruptions to global oil supply and a wider regional conflict. Bloomin' Brands is down 23.7% since the beginning of the year, and at $9.13 per share, it is trading 56.2% below its 52-week high of $20.85 from July 2024. Investors who bought $1,000 worth of Bloomin' Brands's shares 5 years ago would now be looking at an investment worth $756.01. Here at StockStory, we certainly understand the potential of thematic investing. Diverse winners from Microsoft (MSFT) to Alphabet (GOOG), Coca-Cola (KO) to Monster Beverage (MNST) could all have been identified as promising growth stories with a megatrend driving the growth. So, in that spirit, we've identified a relatively under-the-radar profitable growth stock benefiting from the rise of AI, available to you FREE via this link. Sign in to access your portfolio

Empire State Index Comes in Below Expectations
Pre-market futures are climbing this morning, filling in the holes left Friday as the Israeli attacks on Iran saw oil prices spike and questions abound on impacts to the global economy. As we've seen over the weekend, while the two countries trade missile strikes, we haven't seen the Strait of Hormuz affected as of yet, nor any other major developments on the global stage. We're at this hour coming off peak levels of +295 points on the blue-chip Dow, +45 points on the S&P 500 and +205 points on the tech-heavy Nasdaq. The small-cap Russell 2000 was up +25 points in pre-market trading. Friday saw the Dow sink by more than -760 points, the Nasdaq -255 and the S&P 500 found its way back under 6K, -68 points. The Fed meets for its two-day Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting, starting tomorrow and concluding Wednesday. It is widely expected there will be no change to the Fed funds rate from the 4.25-4.50% range we've been in since December of last year. It will be interesting to see how the Fed reacts to a cooling — but not unraveling — labor market, as well as inflation metrics remaining north of their +2.0% target. The manufacturing survey known as the Empire State Index is out this morning for the month of June, with the headline number coming 10 points lower than expected: -16.0. This follows an unrevised -9.2 the previous month, and extends the streak of negative manufacturing production for the state of New York to four months. Seven of the past 12 months have been negative, as well. After today's close, we will see fiscal Q2 results from Miami-based homebuilder Lennar Homes LEN. Comps from the year-ago quarter are expected to be tough: earnings are projected to come in -42% and revenues -6% for the quarter. The company carries a Zacks Rank #4 (Sell) into this afternoon's report. We have a pretty full plate for economic reportage this week, especially seeing we're shortened by Thursday's Juneteenth holiday, when the markets are closed. Thus, Weekly Jobless Claims, normally reserved for Thursday morning, will come out Wednesday ahead of the bell, instead. Otherwise, we'll see Retail Sales, Imports & Exports, Industrial Production & Capacity Utilization — all for May. Also, Business Inventories for April and Homebuilder Confidence for June. Housing Starts & Building Permits for May also are expected, along with June Philly Fed numbers and U.S. Leading Economic Indicators (LEI) for May.
