Solmate Aims to Establish UAE as Solana Infrastructure Hub, Implements Reverse Stock Split

Solmate Infrastructure (formerly Nasdaq-listed Brera Holdings PLC) is undertaking a significant strategic transformation, planning to reshape the company into a digital infrastructure platform focused on the Solana ecosystem, headquartered in Abu Dhabi. The company intends to change its name to Solmate Infrastructure PLC and update its articles of association to formally establish a digital asset reserve and blockchain infrastructure development roadmap, strengthening its specialized position in the crypto space.

The company's management believes that this move will help align the governance structure with the business focus, completely abandoning the previous business model focused on sports investment. CEO Marco Santori stated, "This transformation is a natural result of Brera discovering infrastructure opportunities in the UAE. By focusing on Solana, we aim to become a core participant in the region's digital economic growth."

To free up resources to support technological development, Solmate will shut down underperforming football assets, including Brera Tchumene and Brera IIch, retaining only the Italian team Juve Stabia as its sole sports asset. The released funds will be mainly used to expand the Solana validator node network, provide commission-free staking services, and deploy localized blockchain infrastructure. To attract institutional investors, the company's board of directors has proposed a 10-for-1 reverse stock split. This adjustment will increase the market price per share, bringing it into the range preferred by mainstream institutions, while providing greater flexibility for future financing. It is worth noting that this operation will not change shareholders' ownership proportions and will not create fractional shares. Solmate has already established a deep presence in the UAE. In September 2025, the company completed a $300 million private placement, with support from Ark Invest, RockawayX, the Solana Foundation, and local UAE institution Pulsar Group. In November of the same year, the company launched its first bare-metal Solana validator node in the UAE, allowing users to participate in SOL staking and earn rewards with zero fees. In the future, the company plans to further expand its hardware deployment scale and build a regional Solana core infrastructure network.
