Solmate, formerly Brera Holdings PLC, secured $300 million from investors in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and ARK Invest. The company positions itself as a key player in building a digital Solana (SOL) treasury, combining token accumulation with cutting-edge technical infrastructure. The plan includes validation in the UAE as a differentiator and could drive international institutional capital toward Solana.
Strategy, Governance, and Funding
The company, previously Brera Holdings PLC, obtained $300 million from the UAE and ARK Invest, a boost that places it in a leading position to create a Solana-focused digital treasury. This financial backing marks the starting point for its strategic deployment on the network, further consolidating trust among global investors.
The strategy combines SOL acquisition and staking with next-generation validation infrastructure. According to Marco Santori, CEO of Solmate, the initiative aims to stand out by building real crypto infrastructure in the UAE, integrating validation operations with a material base anchored regionally.
Leadership and corporate governance bring together well-known industry figures. The team includes Marco Santori (former Chief Legal Officer at Kraken), Dr. Arthur Laffer (renowned economist) and Viktor Fischer (CEO of RockawayX), along with two representatives from the Solana Foundation on the board, contributing highly specialized regulatory, economic, and technical expertise.
Regional Expansion and Implications for Solana
Solmate is seeking a dual listing on Nasdaq and a UAE exchange, strengthening its visibility to both global and regional capital. Its first project will be a bare-metal server network in Abu Dhabi, designed to surpass traditional validation strategies and enhance resilience and technological performance.
The positioning of the UAE as a regional crypto hub is accelerating, and blockchain solution development aligns with the local digital agenda. This approach, combined with infrastructure and staking, could attract growing institutional investment into the Solana ecosystem.
Next steps prioritize SOL accumulation regardless of market conditions. The long-term vision covers institutional markets, DeFi, NFTs, and artificial intelligence, consolidating a comprehensive and diversified strategy built on the Solana network.
With significant funding, recognized leadership, and a UAE-based infrastructure rollout, Solmate is shaping a SOL treasury with operational ambition and institutional reach, marking a practical path toward adoption and strengthening of the Solana ecosystem.
