DeFi Development (DFDV) Director Tai Zachary Aris Receives Award

What Happened

Tai Zachary Aris, a director of DeFi Development Corp. (DFDV), was granted 5,000 restricted stock units (RSUs) on February 17, 2026. The grant is reported at $0.00 per share (total reported value $0) because RSUs are awards that convert to shares upon vesting rather than purchases. This is an award/compensation event, not a stock purchase or sale.

Key Details

Transaction date: 2026-02-17; Form filed with the SEC on 2026-02-19 (timely within the standard two business-day window).
Amount granted: 5,000 RSUs reported at $0.00 per share (aggregate reported value $0).
Vesting (F1): 1/12 of the RSUs vest each month after the grant date so the full grant vests on the one-year anniversary, subject to continued service.
Prior unvested awards (F2): Filing also references 7,000 unvested RSUs (on a 7-for-1 forward split basis) granted April 4, 2025 and previously reported in a Form 3.
Shares owned after the reported transaction: not specified in the supplied filing details.
Transaction code: A (award/grant).

Context

RSUs are a form of compensation that convert to common shares as they vest; they do not reflect an immediate market purchase or sale. Such awards are routine for directors/executives and are primarily compensation-based rather than a direct signal of buying or selling intent.
No tax withholding, sale, or 10b5-1 plan was disclosed in the provided notes.
