Brera Holdings PLC, an international holding company based in Ireland, has announced its rebranding and transformation into Solmate — a digital asset and crypto infrastructure platform built on the Solana blockchain. A key step in realizing this project was securing $300 million in private investments, led by Dubai’s Pulsar Group with participation from ARK Invest, the Solana Foundation, and RockawayX.

Solmate will become the first Solana validator in the region
The funds raised will be directed towards accumulating and staking Solana (SOL) tokens, as well as creating high-performance server infrastructure in Abu Dhabi. This will enable Solmate to become the first Solana validator in the region, allowing investors from the Middle East to earn native income from the Solana ecosystem.
Solmate will be led by former chief legal officer of the cryptocurrency exchange Kraken, Marco Santori, who outlined the company’s ambitious goals:
“Solmate is not just another treasury. It will implement a sustainable differentiated strategy in the crowded segment of similar DATs, creating real crypto infrastructure in the UAE. Our stakeholders have a deep, long-term conviction in the Solana ecosystem and will require us to accumulate SOL in both bullish and bearish markets.”
Leading experts and investors in the company’s management
The board of directors of Solmate will include influential professionals, among them Nobel economist Arthur Laffer, who emphasized the importance of a stable currency for a strong economy. Also in the management will be RockawayX CEO Viktor Fischer, who shared his experience in blockchain infrastructure and innovation.
CEO of Pulsar Group Alyazi al-Khattal emphasized that Solmate will play a key role in the digital transformation of the UAE. According to him, the partnership will allow Solana to strengthen its position as a digital technology hub in the region, fostering the development of the developer community and the implementation of innovations in the blockchain sector.
It is worth noting that this week several other companies announced their strategies for accumulating Solana tokens, including Helius Medical Technologies, Pantera Capital, and Forward Industries.
