Brera Holdings Rebrands to Solmate with $300M SOL Treasury Launch
Solmate, formerly known as Brera Holdings, secures $300 million in PIPE funding, with backing from Pulsar Group, ARK Invest, and Solana Foundation, to build a Solana-based digital asset treasury and infrastructure.
Brera Holdings has rebranded as Solmate and raised $300 million in an oversubscribed private investment in public equity (PIPE) deal. The company, now focusing on Solana-based digital asset infrastructure, will accumulate and stake Solana (SOL), while also establishing validator operations in Abu Dhabi. The firm will continue its sports ownership operations and pursue a dual listing on Nasdaq and a UAE exchange. CEO Marco Santori leads the new venture, supported by key figures such as economist Arthur Laffer and RockawayX CEO Viktor Fischer on the board.
