DeFi Technologies Bolsters Growth Strategy with Strong Financial Position

DeFi Technologies announces major share repurchase program, record $62.7M profit, and plans to expand its Valour ETP suite using its $178.7M war chest.

In a recent strategic update to shareholders, DeFi Technologies outlined its roadmap following record financial projections for 2025. The company's leadership emphasized its substantial war chest and an ongoing share repurchase initiative, aiming to address what it perceives as a significant gap between its market valuation and intrinsic worth.

Share Buyback Program to Counteract Valuation Gap

A cornerstone of the company's strategy is its active normal course issuer bid. The board has authorized the repurchase of up to approximately 31.7 million shares by August 2026, representing about ten percent of the public float. This decision stems from management's belief that the current share price does not reflect the firm's fundamental value. In the last fiscal year, DeFi Technologies already bought back and cancelled roughly 1.2 million shares at an average price of $2.24.

Record Results and a "Fortress Balance Sheet"

The company is funding its ambitions from a position of notable strength. For the past fiscal year, it reported record revenue of $99.1 million and a net profit of $62.7 million. Management highlighted what it termed a "fortress balance sheet," comprising cash reserves, digital assets, and venture portfolio holdings totaling $178.7 million. This capital is earmarked primarily to fuel the expansion of its subsidiary, Valour.

Valour, which reported assets under management of $622.3 million as of the end of 2025, is set to launch new exchange-traded products (ETPs) across European and Canadian markets. The subsidiary currently has 102 ETPs listed.

Clarification on Trading Order and Market Performance

During the conference, executives also provided clarity on a recent regulatory filing. The company applied for a Management Cease Trade Order (MCTO) with the Ontario Securities Commission due to delays in filing its annual reports. It was clarified that this order restricts trading only for the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer. Trading for the general public in the company's common shares continues without interruption.

Following a substantial decline over the preceding twelve months, the stock has recently shown signs of a modest recovery, posting a weekly gain of just over eleven percent.

Strategic Use of Capital and Blockchain Participation

Looking forward, DeFi Technologies plans to deploy its liquidity strategically to expand Valour's product suite and engage in staking activities. A key component of its strategy involves operating as a validator node on the Core network. By holding 1,498 Bitcoin, the company participates in network consensus, generating ongoing, protocol-based revenue streams.
