BOCA RATON, FL, Aug. 29, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — DeFi Development Corp. (Nasdaq: DFDV) (the “Company” or “DeFi Dev Corp.”), the first US public company with a treasury strategy built to accumulate and compound Solana (“SOL”), today announced the launch of DFDV UK, the first Solana-focused public treasury vehicle in the United Kingdom. DFDV UK will be formed through the recent acquisition of Cykel AI (LSE: CYK.L) by a group of investors, with DeFi Dev Corp. holding an approximate 45% equity stake alongside local management and board members.
The launch marks the first execution of DeFi Dev Corp.’s Treasury Accelerator strategy, which is designed to expand Solana-focused treasury vehicles across global markets. The Company currently has five additional vehicles in the pipeline at various stages of development.
“DFDV UK is a milestone: the first Solana treasury vehicle in the United Kingdom and a proof point for our global expansion strategy,” said Joseph Onorati, Chief Executive Officer of DeFi Development Corp. “This launch underscores our commitment to growing Solana per share (SPS) and to supporting the Solana ecosystem globally.”
The launch of DFDV UK further cements DFDV’s position as the benchmark Solana treasury vehicle in public markets and demonstrates the Company’s commitment to growing Solana per share (SPS) while actively supporting the Solana ecosystem globally. The Company expects its equity stake in DFDV UK to provide additional upside to SPS over time, further enhancing long-term shareholder value.
