Solana treasury firm DDC earns $63K daily from 1.3M SOL stash
DeFi Development Corp. (DFDV) now holds over 1.3 million Solana (CRYPTO:SOL) tokens, valued at nearly $250 million, according to its latest shareholder letter.
The firm acquired more than 4,500 SOL in the first two weeks of August alone.
CEO Joseph Onorati reported the company’s SOL Per Share (SPS) rose 47% since June, with July marking one of its fastest growth periods after raising $165 million in net capital.
DDC’s model mirrors other crypto treasury strategies but leverages Solana’s staking rewards to generate additional income.
The company estimates a 10% Annualised Organic Yield from its validator and staking business, equating to roughly $63,000 per day in SOL-denominated revenue.
In July, DDC closed a $122.5 million convertible debt raise led by Cantor Fitzgerald.
Quarterly revenue surged to $1.98 million from $400,000 a year ago, while net income hit $15.4 million versus an $800,000 loss last year.
The firm expanded its validator network, added third-party delegation, and grew its share of Solana network rewards.
Founded by former Kraken executives, DDC has a validator agreement with the exchange and also operates validators for Solana-based memecoins like Dogwifhat, sharing staking income with the community.
DDFV shares rose 18% to $17.84 in Tuesday’s session and gained another 6% after hours.
At the time of reporting, Solana price was $198.04.

CoreWeave Dilemma for Nvidia: Forced to Rescue or Stand By?
As both a shareholder of CoreWeave and its sole GPU supplier, Nvidia now faces a dilemma after the sharp decline in CoreWeave's stock price. If it intervenes, each rescue strengthens expectations of a safety net, raises the threshold for future rescues, and risks getting further entangled in this high-leverage game. If it does not intervene, CoreWeave's liquidity crisis will directly cut off demand for GPU purchases, simultaneously devaluing Nvidia's equity investment and severely damaging its market reputation.
US CPI Heats Up Across the Board, Triggering "Inflation Spiral" Alert; October Rate Hike Odds Once Hit 50%. "New Fed News Agency": Watch Waller's Speech This Week
After the CPI was released, the market-implied rate hike probability first rose to 50% before falling back to 40%. Wall Street generally believes that whether action will be taken in October still depends on how the Federal Reserve assesses inflation trends. "The New Fed News Agency" noted that, unlike in August when price increases were concentrated in certain items, the stronger-than-expected performance of September's core CPI was more broad-based, further reinforcing the case for a December rate hike. The speech by Waller on Friday morning Beijing time is his last public statement before the Fed's blackout period ahead of this month's meeting. Economists are warning about an "inflation spiral," with real purchasing power and midterm election pressures interweaving.
