The shares of DeFi Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ: DEFT) increased 14.85% during Monday’s trading session, ending the day at $3.48. The rise came after the company’s record Bitcoin treasury valuation and a significant operational milestone for its subsidiary, Valour Inc.
With US$302 million in Assets Under Management (AUM) for its Bitcoin exchange-traded products (ETPs) as of July 13, 2025, Valour achieved a new record. The same day that Bitcoin peaked at US$122,625, DeFi Technologies’ corporate treasury of 208.8 Bitcoins was valued at an all-time high of US$25.6 million.
Record Growth – Driven by Operational Efficiency
These numbers demonstrate the effectiveness of DeFi Technologies’ vertically integrated business strategy, which combines trading, staking, and asset management. DEFT has grown its Bitcoin treasury exclusively through free cash flow, avoiding debt and stock dilution, in contrast to many other digital asset enterprises. This operational self-sufficiency sets it apart from peers in the sector.
Monetizing Bitcoin Through Strategic Partnerships
Valour, the asset management arm of DeFi Technologies, has further boosted revenue via a strategic joint venture with CORE DAO. This collaboration enables staking of Bitcoin assets under management at an attractive 6.5% annual percentage yield (APY). Leveraging Core Chain’s Satoshi Plus consensus mechanism, Bitcoin staking remains non-custodial, allowing DeFi to earn yield without compromising asset custody.
Diversified Treasury Strengthens Long-Term Position
DeFi Technologies actively oversees a diversified treasury of digital assets with the goal of fostering both strategic agility and sustainable capital growth. Its holdings in Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, and other high-conviction tokens amounted to around US$48.4 million (C$66 million) as of June 30, 2025. Additionally, the business has USDT and around US$14 million in cash on hand, giving it the flexibility to adjust to changing market.
With one of the few profitable and cash-generating models among publicly listed digital asset companies, DeFi Technologies continues to demonstrate strong fundamentals. The record AUM and Bitcoin holdings reflect both operational strength and a forward-looking approach to shareholder value creation in the evolving digital asset space.
