Solmate has launched a $300 million digital asset treasury centered on Solana, backed by Ark Invest and the Solana Foundation. The rebranding of Brera Holdings PLC to Solmate follows an oversubscribed PIPE round led by the UAE-based Pulsar Group. The initiative aims to deepen Solana’s presence in crypto infrastructure while expanding operations in the Middle East.
Solmate Establishes a Strategic Solana Position
Solmate will accumulate Solana ($SOL) at a discount, supported by a letter of intent with the Solana Foundation. This discount arrangement provides Solmate with a cost advantage as it builds its treasury and secures early access to Solana tokens. By locking in favorable terms, Solmate ensures stronger asset leverage as it develops a yield-generating ecosystem.

The Solana tokens will be staked through newly developed infrastructure designed for optimized performance. This infrastructure includes local validators and servers hosted in Abu Dhabi to enhance Solmate’s technical edge. These systems aim to outperform traditional strategies while delivering native blockchain rewards.
Solmate’s approach emphasizes active network participation and yield generation, moving beyond passive token holding. It intends to convert digital treasury management into a revenue model through strategic staking. This model enables Solmate to reinforce its role as both an accumulator and contributor to Solana’s growth.
Ark Invest and Solana Foundation Support Expansion
Solmate’s funding round included Cathie Wood’s Ark Invest, RockawayX, and the Solana Foundation, indicating strong institutional confidence. The financial backing will support infrastructure scaling, technical development, and Solana ecosystem integration in the UAE. These entities bring experience and capital, allowing Solmate to execute its plans at scale.
The appointment of Marco Santori as CEO adds leadership with significant digital asset experience. Santori previously served as Chief Legal Officer at Kraken and helped launch early altcoin treasuries on public exchanges. His industry knowledge positions Solmate for compliant and structured growth.
Solmate’s board will include economist Dr. Arthur Laffer and RockawayX CEO Viktor Fischer, further strengthening the governance team. The Solana Foundation will also appoint two directors, reinforcing ecosystem alignment. This structure reflects Solmate’s intent to combine financial expertise with blockchain-native oversight.
UAE Infrastructure and Solana Yield Integration
The UAE will serve as Solmate’s operational base, hosting key servers and validators to power Solana transactions. This infrastructure provides high-speed processing, enabling participants in the region to access native yields. With low-latency servers, Solmate offers technical advantages for staking and treasury operations.
The Pulsar Group’s leadership role reflects the UAE’s increasing focus on blockchain innovation and asset tokenization. Solmate aligns with national goals to position the country as a digital economy hub. The project enhances Solana’s relevance in the Middle East’s transformation agenda.
Solmate aims to replicate the success of other digital treasuries, such as SOL Strategies, which recently gained NASDAQ listing approval. The use of publicly traded vehicles ensures transparency while giving exposure to digital assets. Through this model, Solmate connects institutional capital with on-chain value creation.
