DeFi Development Corp. authorizes buyback program for CHAD preferred stock
Solana treasury firm DeFi Development Corp. has authorized an open-ended buyback program covering up to all outstanding CHAD preferred shares if they trade below their $10 par value, though the company has no immediate plans to execute repurchases.

Solana treasury company DeFi Development Corp. has authorized an open-ended repurchase program covering up to all outstanding shares of its CHAD preferred stock, including shares it may issue in the future, according to reports by The Block and SolanaFloor. The program provides the company with the flexibility to buy back the securities if they trade below their $10 par value.[1][2][3]
The company stated that it does not currently intend to repurchase CHAD shares, explaining that it first wants the security to establish itself at or around par value. The open-ended authorization introduces an additional capital-allocation tool alongside DeFi Development Corp.'s existing $300 million CHAD at-the-market program.[1][3]
DeFi Development Corp. currently holds approximately 2.53 million SOL in its treasury, SolanaFloor reported. Crypto Briefing noted that while the buyback authorization enhances the company's financial flexibility, it could potentially divert funds from its core Solana acquisition strategy.[3][4]
