The newly acquired tokens include locked SOL, purchased through BitGo’s over-the-counter desk, according to a press release. These tokens can’t be moved on-chain until unlocked, but they can still be traded over-the-counter between institutions, the firm said.

The company said it plans to stake these assets to generate yield.

The accumulation follows the acquisition of a validator operation earlier this week, which it will use to self-stake its entire SOL treasury and generate “protocol-native cashflow.”

DFDV shares are lower by 3.8% in Tuesday morning trade alongside SOL's 2% price decline.
