In brief
- Sports holding company Brera Holdings is becoming a Solana treasury, the Nasdaq-listed firm announced Thursday.
- The company’s stock rocketed 500% on the news after receiving big backing to buy the cryptocurrency.
- It is the latest in a crowded market of altcoin treasuries—but it promises it will be different.
The race to build the biggest Solana treasury is on. Nasdaq-listed sports holding company Brera Holdings said Thursday that it will pivot to a Solana-based digital asset treasury, changing its name to Solmate. And now its stock is skyrocketing.
Brera, which buys football and volleyball clubs, said it had raised $300 million via a private investment in a public equity round, with Ark Invest, the Solana Foundation, and RockawayX all backing the company. United Arab Emirates-based Pulsar Group led the funding round.
The firm’s stock—which trades under the ticker BREA—rocketed on the news and was recently up 500% on the day, with shares priced at close to $46. Shares have since settled to a price of about $40. Brera said it expected dual listings on the Nasdaq and the Abu Dhabi Securities Exchange once it converts to Solmate.
