DeFi Development Corp.'s Board authorized a repurchase program for its CHAD Variable Rate Series C Perpetual Preferred Stock, covering up to all shares outstanding plus future issuances.

DFDV: 8-K · dividend

DeFi Development Corp.'s board declared an initial cash dividend of $0.07944 per share on its Variable Rate Series C Perpetual Preferred Stock (Nasdaq: CHAD), covering the period from the preferred's September 8, 2026 issuance through October 1, 2026. The company also declared daily cash dividends of $0.00516 per share for each of 21 business days from October 1 through October 30, 2026, which together represent a per annum dividend rate of 13.00% on the CHAD Stock. Payments go to holders of record as of the close of the immediately preceding business day. On the tax side, the company disclosed it has no accumulated earnings and profits and does not expect to generate current earnings and profits in the current year or the foreseeable future, so CHAD distributions will likely be treated as a tax-free return of capital first, then capital gain. The declaration fulfills the terms laid out in the August 31, 2026 prospectus supplement for the CHAD IPO and carries no surprise for DFDV common shareholders beyond the fixed cash obligation to preferred holders.
