Real-Estate Software Firm Acquires Solana Validator for $3.5M

The acquisition will be funded through a $3 million restricted stock offering and $500,000 in cash.

According to a press release issued today, the acquired Solana validator business held an average delegated Solana stake of approximately 500,000 SOL. At the time of writing, this stake was valued at around $75.5 million.

The acquisition will enable DeFi Development Corp. to directly self-stake its existing Solana holdings, allowing the company to earn staking rewards without relying on external validators. Furthermore, DeFi Development Corp. will fully absorb all Solana staking rewards generated by the acquired validator business.

Parker White, Chief Investment Officer and Chief Operations Officer of DeFi Development Corp., emphasized the strategic importance of the acquisition. In a statement, White said, “This acquisition doesn’t just add a new line of protocol-native cashflow, it amplifies our alignment with the infrastructure underpinning tomorrow’s decentralized economy.
