Expert Statements

Joseph Onorati, Chief Executive Officer of DeFi Development Corp.

“Our first objective is simple: get CHAD to par”

Joseph Onorati, Chief Executive Officer of DeFi Development Corp.

“We are not announcing that we intend to buy CHAD today. We are putting the infrastructure in place so that, once CHAD has established itself at par, we have another tool available if it subsequently trades below par.”

Joseph Onorati, Chief Executive Officer of DeFi Development Corp.

“We think about CHAD as a long-term funding platform, not a one-time issuance. This authorization reflects that. It covers every share outstanding today and automatically extends to CHAD we may issue in the future. As CHAD scales, we want the flexibility to both issue CHAD when the market values it appropriately and repurchase it when we believe the market is offering it back to us at an attractive discount.”
