Solmate Infrastructure announced a corporate restructuring that aligns the company with its blockchain infrastructure strategy centered on the Solana ecosystem. The firm plans to change its legal name from Brera Holdings PLC to Solmate Infrastructure PLC and shift its corporate structure toward digital asset infrastructure and treasury operations.
The proposal requires shareholder approval. The company’s board of directors approved the plan as part of a broader transition that places Solana infrastructure at the core of the firm’s business model. The company operates on the Nasdaq under the ticker SLMT, and the symbol will remain unchanged after the restructuring.
The announcement reflects a transformation that began in September 2025 when the company repositioned itself beyond its earlier identity as a football ownership group. Leadership introduced a Solana-focused treasury and infrastructure strategy after securing new capital from investors that included ARK Invest, RockawayX, the Solana Foundation, and UAE-based Pulsar Group.
“This transformation is the culmination of Brera’s strategic shift toward infrastructure opportunities we see in Abu Dhabi,” Solmate CEO Marco Santori said in a statement.
“By focusing our capital and corporate identity on Solana, we are positioning ourselves to be a central player in the region’s rapidly expanding digital economy. This is not just a name change, it is the evolution of a specialized infrastructure firm built for the future of capital markets.”
Legal restructuring aligns corporate identity with blockchain strategy
The proposed changes focus on legal alignment and operational priorities. The company plans to formally adopt the name Solmate Infrastructure PLC and update its constitutional documents to reflect a focus on blockchain infrastructure and digital asset treasury activities.
Solmate said the restructuring will concentrate resources on Solana staking, validation infrastructure, and treasury operations. The company intends to build institutional-grade blockchain infrastructure with its primary operational base in Abu Dhabi.
The UAE location plays a central role in the firm’s strategy. Solmate deploys specialized hardware and validator infrastructure in the region to provide institutional access to Solana’s staking ecosystem. The company already launched a bare-metal Solana validator in the United Arab Emirates in November 2025, according to its announcement. The validator allows partners and public participants to stake SOL tokens and receive network rewards.
The infrastructure initiative supports the company’s plan to accumulate and stake SOL tokens while generating revenue through validator services and blockchain infrastructure.
Company restructures sports portfolio to redirect capital
The shift toward blockchain infrastructure also affects Solmate’s legacy sports assets. The company previously built its identity around football club ownership through the Brera brand.
Solmate said it will wind down two underperforming soccer teams, Brera Tchumene and Brera Ilch. The company will retain its Italian club Juve Stabia as its flagship sports asset.
Leadership stated that the capital freed from those operations will support the expansion of Solana infrastructure in the UAE. The restructuring represents a major shift from sports ownership toward blockchain infrastructure development.
The company described the capital redirection as a step that allows it to accelerate its digital infrastructure strategy in the Middle East.
Reverse stock split proposal aims to attract institutional investors
Solmate also introduced a proposal for a 10-for-1 reverse stock split of its Class A and Class B ordinary shares. The plan requires shareholder approval and will be presented at a shareholder meeting scheduled for April 7, 2026.
Under the proposal, every ten existing shares will consolidate into one share. The nominal value of each share will increase from $0.05 to $0.50. The company stated that no fractional shares will be issued.
Following the reverse split, Solmate shares will continue trading on Nasdaq under the ticker SLMT. The company stated that proportional adjustments will apply to all equity awards and warrants.
The firm said the move aims to place the stock within a trading range that institutional investors generally prefer. The reverse split will affect all shareholders uniformly and will not change ownership percentages except in cases that involve fractional rounding.
Equiniti Trust Company will act as exchange agent for the reverse stock split. Shareholders who hold shares through brokers or other record holders must contact those institutions for further instructions.
Strategic push builds on earlier Solana investment
Solmate’s Solana-focused strategy emerged after a $300 million private investment in public equity secured in September 2025, as GlobeNewswire reported. The placement attracted backing from ARK Invest, RockawayX, the Solana Foundation, and Pulsar Group.
That funding launched the Solmate initiative as a digital asset treasury and infrastructure platform built around the Solana network. The company outlined plans to accumulate SOL tokens and develop validator infrastructure in Abu Dhabi.
The transition has faced challenges. Solmate said last month that it would not proceed with a previously announced merger with RockawayX. The company cited major changes in market conditions but stated that the two firms will maintain their strategic partnership.
Despite the setback, Solmate continues to pursue its goal of building institutional-grade blockchain infrastructure in the region. The company stated that Abu Dhabi will serve as its central hub for Solana infrastructure deployment across the Middle East and beyond.
