DeFi Development Corp. is a publicly traded company focused on building and managing a digital asset treasury strategy centered on the Solana blockchain ecosystem while operating a commercial real estate technology platform that connects borrowers and lenders. The company executes a dual business model combining blockchain-based treasury management with software-as-a-service solutions for commercial property finance.

DeFi Development Corp. generates revenue through two primary channels. The digital asset treasury segment earns staking rewards by delegating SOL holdings to external validators and operating owned Solana validators, with revenue derived from inflationary rewards, transaction fees, and maximal extractable value. The real estate platform segment generates income from platform fees charged on commercial mortgage and small business debt transactions, including referral and advisory fees typically amounting to 1% of loan value, as well as subscription revenues from its Janover Connect SaaS offering for real estate investors raising equity.

The company operates through the following segments: Digital Asset Treasury and Real Estate Platform.

• Digital Asset Treasury focuses on executing and managing the company's treasury strategy through the acquisition, long-term holding, and active management of Solana (SOL) and SOL-related digital assets. This segment includes operating and managing Solana validators, delegating digital asset holdings to external validators to participate in the proof-of-stake consensus mechanism, and generating staking rewards. It continuously evaluates capital market conditions, the broader cryptoeconomy, and macroeconomic factors to determine the timing and structure of financing transactions supporting the treasury strategy, with the primary objective of expanding long-term exposure to the Solana ecosystem.

• Real Estate Platform operates the company's commercial real estate technology platform, which provides data, software subscriptions, and value-added services connecting commercial property borrowers seeking debt for refinancing, building, or purchasing commercial property (including apartment buildings) with commercial property lenders such as banks, credit unions, real estate investment trusts, debt funds, and other institutional capital providers. The platform connects borrowers to internal capital markets advisors who guide them through the loan process and match them with appropriate lenders. Revenue is derived from platform fees on transactions and subscription-based SaaS offerings like Janover Connect, which streamlines equity capital raising for real estate investors.

DeFi Development Corp. operates in competitive landscapes across both its business segments. In the digital asset treasury space, it faces competition from larger digital asset treasury companies, trading platforms, and independent validator operators within the rapidly evolving cryptoeconomy. For its real estate platform, the company competes against commercial mortgage brokers, direct lenders, and established technology firms such as LendingTree, Upstart, and NerdWallet that focus on consumer, residential, and small business finance, positioning itself as a specialized technology-enabled intermediary in commercial property finance.

The company serves commercial mortgage and small business borrowers seeking financing for commercial property, including apartment buildings, as well as institutional lenders such as banks, credit unions, real estate investment trusts, debt funds, and other capital providers looking to deploy funds into commercial mortgages. Its real estate platform also supports real estate investors raising equity through its Janover Connect SaaS offering.
