Janover’s Solana Bonanza: Staking Gold or Just Fool’s Gold?

by

In a move that made Wall Street’s eyebrows shoot up like rockets, Janover, the publicly traded firm, announced it had gobbled up 80,567 SOL for a cool $10.5 million. And, as if that wasn’t enough, they declared they’d start staking their shiny new SOL faster than you can say “crypto chaos.”

From Nasdaq to Node Operator—Janover’s Solana Shenanigans

Janover Inc. (Nasdaq: JNVR), a company that uses AI to connect the multifamily and commercial real estate industry, has been on a Solana shopping spree. This is their third SOL purchase in a month, and on April 15, they dropped $10.5 million to snag 80,567 SOL. 🤑

Now, Janover’s treasury is bursting with 163,651.7 SOL, worth a whopping $21.2 million. They’ve also boasted a 120% increase in their SOL/Share Growth, which is either impressive or just a fancy way of saying they’re really good at spending money. 🤷‍♂️

This announcement comes hot on the heels of a takeover by a group of former Kraken team members, who now hold a controlling interest. As part of the agreement, Janover is planning a rebranding. They’ll soon be known as DeFi Development Corporation, because apparently, “Janover” just wasn’t confusing enough. 🎭

On Tuesday, Janover revealed they’d be staking their newly acquired SOL “immediately,” which is either a bold move or a desperate attempt to keep up with the crypto Joneses. Their approach is similar to Strategy (formerly Microstrategy), but tailored for a proof-of-stake (PoS) environment. This means they’ll be staking their SOL for yield, with rewards eligible for reinvestment. 🎰

Janover’s shares shot up over 12% on Tuesday, and over the last five days, JNVR shares are up 138% against the greenback. Whether this is a stroke of genius or just another crypto rollercoaster remains to be seen. 🎢
