Solana Treasury DFDV Resumes SOL Purchases Above $100
Solana (SOL)

bitcoinethereumnews.com reports that DeFi Development Corp (DFDV) has resumed buying Solana as the asset trades above $100. The firm acquired 19,000 SOL at an average price of $98.14, bringing its total holdings to just over 2.3 million SOL. This move signals a return to active accumulation as the company seeks to capitalize on improving market conditions.
DFDV partially funded these purchases using proceeds from divesting its ZeroStack position. The company intends to hold SOL as a long-term treasury asset and deploy it through staking and onchain infrastructure. This activity occurs while Bitcoin rallies above $80,000, sparking optimism about a potential bull run.
Other treasury firms have paused buying or sold holdings due to bear market pressures. DFDV’s stock rose over 12% to around $5 following the announcement. The stock has mirrored Solana’s recent parabolic rally, with SOL up 24% in the past week. Bullish catalysts like the SIMD-0550 proposal may also be supporting the price by increasing the burn rate.
How the market reacted
Whalio's own Binance spot order flow for SOL, measured when this story was written up on 27 August 2026. Not the outlet's figures.
Whalio data shows SOL trading at $102.07 with a 24-hour buy ratio of 53.7%, indicating that buyers controlled the majority of volume over the day. However, shorter-term pressure shows a shift, with the 1-hour buy ratio dropping to 45.9% and the 4-hour ratio at 48.8%, suggesting buying momentum is fading in the immediate term. The 24-hour volume delta is positive at $19,185,180, meaning net buying exceeded net selling over the full day. In contrast, the 1-hour volume delta is negative at -$956,814, reflecting recent profit-taking or selling pressure. Cumulative Volume Delta closed at $48,682,067, confirming that net inflows dominated the 24-hour period despite recent short-term weakness.
The latest daily buy ratio of 48.8% sits at the 27th percentile of the last 322 days, against a median of 50.0% - weaker buying than most days.
Twenty-four hours later
What SOL did over the 24 hours after the story broke. The market moves for its own reasons; this is what happened, not what the story caused.
Was that an ordinary day?
The same Binance spot measurements for SOL, averaged over the days leading up to the story.
Over the preceding week, SOL experienced consistent buying pressure with net buying occurring on all seven days. The 7-day average buy ratio was 52.5%, slightly higher than the current 24-hour ratio of 53.7%, indicating sustained but stable demand. Volume over the week was 0.57x the average, showing that trading activity was subdued compared to typical weeks. The price increased by 19.5% over eight days, driven by a total volume delta of $175,409,002. This represents an unusual week of consistent accumulation despite lower-than-average volume relative to historical norms.
