Global Expansion of Crypto Accumulator’s Defi Solutions: Franchising Innovative Solana Treasury Model
DeFi Development, a leading contender in the decentralized finance (DeFi) sector aiming to emulate MicroStrategy’s success within the Solana ecosystem, has announced its strategic international expansion through a franchise model. This initiative, named DFDV Treasury Accelerator, seeks to partner with entities interested in managing their own Solana treasuries, offering an equity stake in each regional venture in return.
Cosmo Jiang, General Partner at Pantera Capital, expressed enthusiasm about DFDV’s innovative approach: “Many crypto treasury vehicles currently mimic the MicroStrategy model. What sets DFDV apart is that they are not merely replicating the playbook; they are evolving it. By integrating validator infrastructure, capital markets innovation, and now international expansion via a global franchising model, DFDV is developing something structurally distinct and forward-thinking.”
Pantera Capital previously invested in Bitmine Immersion Technologies, an Ethereum treasury firm backed by Peter Thiel and chaired by Tom Lee of Fundstrat. Potential supporters of the franchise initiative may include Kraken, Arrington, RK Capital, and Borderless Capital, who could offer investment, treasury and fundraising guidance, as well as infrastructure solutions such as validator and custody services.
This expansion comes at a time when an increasing number of companies are adopting crypto treasury strategies or merging with public entities to emulate MicroStrategy’s success in investing in Bitcoin. In addition to Bitmine, SharpLink Gaming initiated an Ethereum treasury strategy in May and appointed Ethereum co-founder Joseph Lubin as chairman of its board. Bit Digital recently exited bitcoin mining to focus on its ETH treasury and staking plans.
Solana is a five-year-old public blockchain platform offering fast transaction speeds and low fees for developers and users. Over the past year, Solana’s value has increased by 7%, with a nearly 10% gain within the past month according to Coin Metrics.
As part of its growth strategy, DeFi Development will not only accumulate Solana tokens but also acquire validators—the computers responsible for verifying transactions on the Solana network—which can be utilized to “stake” SOL tokens, thereby earning rewards through locking up SOL tokens on the network.
This week, DeFi Development unveiled its initial guidance for SOL per share, aiming to reach 1 SOL per share by 2028. With a current Solana token holding of 857,749 and an outstanding share count of 18.8 million, the company’s SOL per share currently stands at 0.0457.
