DeFi Development Corp. Announces Open-Market Stock Purchases and Internal Equity Transfers by Executive Team
BOCA RATON, FL, Nov. 26, 2025 (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, as disclosed in recently filed Form 4 statements with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, that members of its executive leadership team purchased additional shares of the Company's common stock in open-market.
Executive Open-Market Purchases
Parker White, Chief Operating Officer & Chief Investment Officer, purchased $69,420 of DFDV common stock on November 25, 2025, representing a total of 10,044 shares, in open market transactions.
Daniel Kang, Chief Strategy Officer, purchased 4,200 shares of DFDV common stock on November 25, 2025, at a price of $6.90 per share, for a total investment of $28,980.
"These additional purchases reflect the strong conviction our leadership team has in the Company's long-term strategy and in DFDV's position as the leading Solana-focused Digital Asset Treasury," said Parker White, COO & CIO at DeFi Development Corp.
Transfers of Shares Between Affiliated Entities
Recent SEC filings also disclosed certain transfers of indirect beneficial ownership between affiliated entities. These transfers were administrative in nature, did not involve any open-market sales, and did not change the aggregate economic ownership of the parties involved.
The filings reported changes in indirect ownership resulting from the transfer of partnership units in SolSync Solutions Partnership, a general partnership in which both Parker White and Joseph Onorati hold interests. The transfer of units led to corresponding shifts in the indirect ownership of DFDV common stock and warrants previously held by the partnership, including allocations to Defi International Holding LLC, an entity managed by Mr. Onorati, in connection with the repayment of a loan between Mr. White and Mr. Onorati.
Additionally, DeFi Dev LLC, the LLC entity used to acquire a portion of the controlling interest from Blake Janover, distributed a portion of the shares to the relevant members. The shares were distributed based on pro-rata ownership within the LLC and do not reflect any changes in the underlying, pass-through ownership of the members.
Overall, these adjustments reflect internal realignments between existing ownership entities and have no impact on public-market share availability or aggregate ownership across the management team.
