$DFDV was the first U.S.-listed non-BTC Digital Asset Treasury (DAT). Now we’re working to become the first non-BTC variable-rate digital credit issuer with $CHAD. $CHAD is designed to take the digital credit model pioneered with bitcoin:native and apply it to what we believe is an even more compelling underlying... asset: $SOL. Why? Solana doesn’t just have the potential to appreciate. It’s a productive asset with native yield. At the contemplated terms, $CHAD features a 13% headline dividend paid daily, with an effective yield of roughly 14.4% at a $9 issuance price, backed by a $SOL treasury that can generate organic yield to help service the dividend. joseph onorati | DFDV & DK break down the entire thesis in our latest presentation: 00:00 Introduction 00:55 Introducing $CHAD 02:17 Why digital credit exists 03:41 Bitcoin proved the model. What comes next? 04:09 Why $SOL may be better collateral for digital credit 05:43 The path toward $10 par 06:40 Why we have conviction in Solana 08:15 Tokenization, stablecoins & agentic finance 10:37 Why DFDV is positioned to issue $CHAD 11:37 The SOL Boost Framework 12:34 Intelligent leverage vs. liquidation risk 13:30 Growing SOL Per Share 14:25 The $CHAD yield engine 16:00 Pro forma coverage metrics 16:44 Stress testing SOL at -25% and -50% 17:40 The $CHAD thesis 18:37 Closing remarks Check it out. 👇show more

Already the most levered name in Solana treasuries — 1.93x amplification from its convertible notes alone. This preferred takes it to roughly 2.33x.

Nice walkthrough, while not a big SOL guy myself, i like the simple SATA/ASST like structure you’re working towards, it’s been well received by the market. Question here, do you expect divs to be ROC, mixed due to SOL staking, or currently TBD? Thanks
