Brera Holdings PLC (NASDAQ: BREA) Closes ~USD $300 Million PIPE Financing

New York, NY, Sept. 23, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Brera Holdings PLC (Brera Holdings) (Nasdaq: BREA) today announced the successful closing of its previously announced private investment in public equity (“PIPE”) offering of securities. The PIPE, sponsored by UAE-based technology and blockchain advisory firm Pulsar Group, with backers including RockawayX, Ark Invest and UAE investors, was oversubscribed and generated gross proceeds of ~USD $300 million. To reflect the company’s new focus on the Solana ecosystem, Brera Holdings intends to change its name to Solmate, with BREA shares continuing to trade on Nasdaq under a new ticker symbol.

The ~USD $300 million PIPE financing was structured to provide Solmate with significant capital to fund its digital asset treasury (“DAT”) strategy and plans for revenue-generating crypto infrastructure projects in the UAE, the first of which is planned to be bare metal servers in Abu Dhabi configured to outperform typical DAT validator strategies. The offering was sponsored by UAE-based Pulsar Group, a strategic investment and advisory firm specializing in virtual assets and blockchain, with key commitments secured from USD $2 billion AUM digital asset investment firm and top-tier builder of performant SOL staking infrastructure RockawayX, major investment firm ARK Invest and prominent investors from the UAE.

Proceeds from the PIPE financing will be deployed to initiate Solmate’s strategic acquisition of $SOL, the native token of the Solana blockchain. These initial purchases will mark the first step in building Solmate’s Solana-based digital asset treasury, which aims to drive shareholder value through the accumulation and staking of $SOL, and the development of new revenue streams from advanced Solana staking infrastructure. Through its planned bare metal servers in Abu Dhabi, Solmate seeks to provide regional investors with the opportunity to capitalize on Solana’s native yield-generating capabilities while supporting the growth of the Solana ecosystem and aligning with the UAE’s digital transformation agenda.

Marco Santori, CEO of Solmate said, "Solmate offers a differentiated investment proposition, from our unparalleled proximity to capital, to our discounted entry price for SOL, to our high-performance staking platform leveraging the unique capabilities of the Solana blockchain. Our investment in bare metal servers in Abu Dhabi enables us to deliver superior validation performance and native yield generation that few others can match. This approach aims to create real value for our shareholders and contributes to the broader adoption of Solana, particularly in a strategic region like the UAE, which is rapidly becoming a global hub for blockchain innovation.”
