Solana (SOL) treasury holder DeFi Development added 5,346 SOL on October 26, 2026, lifting its reported holdings to 2,595,612 SOL. Business Insider reported the purchase as the Alpenglow network upgrade moved into live operation. The Solana price is 100.65 USD as of October 27, 2026, down 0.43 percent compared with the UTC daily close of October 26, 2026.

DeFi Development holdings reach 2,595,612 SOL

The October 26, 2026, update puts the treasury at 2,595,612 SOL, up from 2,590,266 SOL in the prior reported total, according to Business Insider. The company described the increase as part of its Solana treasury strategy, making the transaction a named-holder purchase rather than a network issuance change.

The reported figures refer to SOL held by DeFi Development and do not represent Solana's circulating supply. That distinction matters because treasury purchases and protocol token supply are separate measures.

Alpenglow targets 150-millisecond finality

Solana's Alpenglow consensus upgrade went live on October 21, 2026. The protocol targets transaction finality of 150 milliseconds, compared with 12.8 seconds under the previous system, according to Cointelegraph. Finality is the point at which a transaction can no longer be reversed.

The same report said the mainnet showed 6.6-second transaction finality and throughput of 4,721 transactions per second at the time of its report. Those measurements sit alongside the 150-millisecond design target and give a separate operational measure of the upgrade's early network performance.
