DeFi Development Corporation increased its Solana (SOL) treasury by nearly 4,000 SOL, totaling about 2.59 million SOL, ahead of Solana's Alpenglow upgrade on October 21, 2026. This upgrade will drastically reduce transaction finality time from 12.8 seconds to approximately 150 milliseconds, enhancing Solana's speed to near-instant payments. The company also raised the annual dividend rate on its CHAD preferred stock from 13% to 14%, effective November 2, 2026, aiming to attract income investors and support further SOL accumulation. These moves position DeFi Dev Corp. to benefit from Solana's expanding role in onchain finance and tokenization.
