Positioned for Leadership in Institutional Solana Infrastructure

The investment underscores management’s and the Board’s shared conviction in Solmate’s strategic position within the Solana ecosystem. The Company believes it is well-positioned to serve as a bridge between institutional capital and one of the fastest-growing regulated digital asset markets globally.

With its strategic presence in Abu Dhabi, Solmate is focused on building institutional-grade infrastructure and services for the Solana ecosystem, including validator operations, staking infrastructure, RPC services, colocation solutions, and related technology offerings.

“I have never been more confident in the path ahead for Solmate, and my personal investment in the Company reflects that conviction and my alignment with shareholders. We believe Solmate has the operational foundation, strategic relationships, regional positioning, and balance sheet strength to capitalize on a significant long-term opportunity in institutional digital asset infrastructure within the UAE and broader Solana ecosystem.

We are operating with discipline, sharpened focus, and a clear framework for long-term value creation while actively evaluating strategic partnerships, M&A opportunities, infrastructure expansion initiatives, and SOL treasury strategies intended to strengthen our position within the Solana ecosystem. We look forward to sharing additional updates as these initiatives progress.”

— Ron Sade, Chief Executive Officer, Solmate Infrastructure

Since assuming the CEO role, Mr. Sade has strengthened the Company’s operational foundation through significant cost optimization initiatives and executive compensation restructuring designed to align leadership with long-term shareholder value creation.

A Long-Term Infrastructure Strategy

“I believe Solmate is uniquely positioned to become a leading institutional gateway to the Solana ecosystem globally. The combination of strategic positioning in the UAE, strong industry relationships, and long-term infrastructure vision creates a compelling opportunity ahead. I’m proud to personally invest in the company and support its next phase of growth.”

— Keren Maimon, Member of the Board of Directors, Solmate Infrastructure

Mr. Sade has articulated a long-term vision for positioning Solmate as a significant participant in the Solana-focused technology infrastructure ecosystem by 2030. Unlike passive digital asset treasury vehicles, the Company’s strategy focuses on building a vertically integrated, institutional-grade infrastructure platform intended to support long-term ecosystem growth and generate durable shareholder value.

The Company’s strategy includes expanding validator infrastructure, staking operations, RPC services, colocation capabilities, and related infrastructure solutions, supported by a disciplined treasury management approach intended to compound long-term per-share value creation.

The Company intends to use the proceeds from the offering to support infrastructure expansion initiatives, strategic partnerships and acquisitions, SOL treasury initiatives, and general corporate purposes.
