Investor presentation summary
12 Nov, 2026Solana investment thesis
Solana is framed as “digital energy”: fast, low-cost infrastructure for transactions, stablecoins, tokenized assets and AI-agent activity.
Reported Solana metrics include 1,496 average TPS in 2026, $1.4B in 2025 real-fee revenue, 41B transactions in 2026 YTD and 2.4M active users in November 2026.
Solana’s average fee is listed at $0.003 per transaction, with 1,500 sustained TPS; figures are sourced to Token Terminal as of Nov. 11, 2026, and exclude vote transactions from TPS.
An internal supply forecast estimates 750M circulating SOL could narrow to 75M free float after staking, DeFi locks, institutional holdings and app reserves.
Common equity strategy
DFDV common is positioned as accessible, listed amplified SOL exposure, using intelligent leverage and a strategy to grow SOL per share (SPS).
Treasury size is listed at $220M+; equity returns post-treasury launch at >400%; SPS grew 22.8% from Aug. 12 to Sept. 30, 2026, using a constant $117.99 SOL price. SPS growth is not shareholder return.
The strategy combines staking yield and leverage without management fees; illustrative staking yields are 6%+ for DFDV, 5.0% for an ETF and 3.2% for spot.
Long-duration financing is presented as avoiding margin calls and forced liquidation triggers against core treasury assets; leverage can magnify losses as well as gains.
In an illustrative five-year boom-bust sequence, a $10,000 investment ends at $121.9K for DFDV, $50.5K for BSOL, $36.0K for spot and $6.4K for a 2x SOL product; not guidance.
CHAD preferred security
CHAD’s current variable annual dividend rate is 14% of its $10 stated amount, cumulative, with payments each business day when and if declared; the rate and payments are not guaranteed.
CHAD is a preferred security with a claim on residual assets, not collateralized by SOL holdings, and not FDIC insured; investor yield depends on purchase price and the applicable dividend rate.
A stated 100+ years of dividend coverage uses gross assets of ~$243.3M divided by ~$2.2M annual dividends; the calculation excludes debt and other liabilities and is not a guarantee of funding.
CHAD is intended to raise perpetual capital that can expand the SOL treasury and support the common-equity growth cycle.
