## Exhibit 99.1

**Exhibit 99.1**

August 28, 2025

***DeFi Dev Corp. Purchases $77M SOL Following Recent Equity Raise***

**BOCA RATON, FL — August 28, 2025 — DeFi Development Corp. (Nasdaq: DFDV)** (the "Company") the first public company with a treasury strategy built to accumulate and compound Solana ("SOL"), today announced the acquisition of 407,247 SOL at an average price of $188.98 per token. The acquisition was funded from the Company's recent equity raise, with more than $40M in net proceeds still available for future Solana purchases and strategic treasury operations. This purchase brings the Company's total holdings to 1,831,011 SOL.

Below is a summary of DeFi Dev Corp.'s current SOL position and key per-share metrics as of August 28, 2025:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•**Total SOL & SOL Equivalents Held**: 1,831,011, representing a 29% increase vs. our previous balance of 1,420,173

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•**Total SOL & SOL Equivalents Held (USD)**: Approximately $371 million

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•**Total Shares Outstanding as of August 28, 2025**: Approximately 21M (see note below)

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•**SOL per Share ("SPS")**: 0.0864

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•**SPS (USD)**: $17.52

The newly acquired SOL will be held long-term and staked to a variety of validators, including DeFi Dev Corp.'s own Solana validators to generate native yield.

**Note on Share Count and SPS:** The reported share count reflects only issued and outstanding shares as of today. None of the shares or pre-paid warrants from the recent equity financing are included in the current figure. On a fully diluted basis, including all shares and warrants from that transaction, the adjusted share count would be approximately 31 million. SPS will fully reflect this in future updates, alongside the deployment of more than $40 million of remaining cash proceeds into additional SOL purchases. Based on current expectations, the Company does not anticipate SPS falling below the previously disclosed figure of 0.0675, even after full warrant impact — reinforcing continued SPS growth.

**About DeFi Development Corp.**

Through this strategy, the Company provides investors with direct economic exposure to SOL, while also actively participating in the growth of the Solana ecosystem.
