DeFi Development Corp. has closed a $11 million offering of its Series C Variable Rate Perpetual Preferred Stock, branded as CHAD. The instrument carries an initial annual dividend rate of 13% and is structured as perpetual preferred stock - a financial mechanism typically used to raise capital while maintaining control structures. The company indicated it plans to direct the proceeds toward expanding its Solana treasury holdings.

The move represents a capital-raising strategy drawing from traditional finance playbook, adapted for the crypto space. By issuing preferred stock rather than equity or debt, DeFi Development can access liquidity while preserving governance and ownership structures.
