DeFi Development Corp. Adopts Solstice YieldVault to Power Onchain Treasury Yield Strategy
BOCA RATON, FL, Jan. 13, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- DeFi Development Corp. (NASDAQ:DFDV) (the "Company"), the first public company with a treasury strategy built to accumulate and compound Solana ("SOL"), today announced that it has partnered with Solstice to deploy a portion of its onchain treasury through Solstice's institutional-grade YieldVault. DFDV becomes the first Nasdaq-listed company to utilize Solstice's delta-neutral yield infrastructure for digital asset treasury management.
Through this partnership, DFDV will allocate capital into Solstice's YieldVault, an onchain strategy designed to generate yield through funding rate arbitrage, hedged staking, and tokenized U.S. Treasury bills, with allocations dynamically adjusted based on market conditions. The strategy allows DFDV to generate non-directional yield while maintaining a conservative risk profile appropriate for a public company treasury.
Solstice's YieldVault is designed specifically for institutional users. Client assets settle off-exchange through regulated custodians, including Copper and Ceffu, and vault balances are independently verified through bi-weekly overcollateralization attestations by Accountable, with daily attestations expected to launch soon.
For DFDV, onchain yield from Solstice will support growing SOL Per Share (SPS) holdings and covering operational expenses. As part of the partnership, DFDV will also participate in Solstice's Flares program, a points-based system that tracks ecosystem contributions and converts into proportional allocations of Solstice's governance token, SLX, at token generation. Flares are designed to reward long-term capital, liquidity, and usage across the Solstice ecosystem, including USX, eUSX, YieldVault, and partner DeFi integrations.
Investors and ecosystem participants who wish to support DFDV's mission to grow SOL per share while engaging with Solstice's yield and incentive programs can do so using DFDV's Solstice referral link, which directs Flares earned through participation back toward the DFDV ecosystem.
