Investing.com -- Solmate Infrastructure (NASDAQ:SLMT) stock surged 29% on Thursday after the company provided a business update detailing progress on its validator operations, M&A strategy, and amendments to its $300 million PIPE financing agreement.
The company announced it has selected a data center in the UAE to house its bare metal validators after completing an extensive diligence process. Solmate has already assembled its first validator hardware and is testing the configuration using SOL tokens purchased at what it described as a "historic discount" to market prices.
Once operational, the company claims this will be the first performant Solana validator in the Middle East. Solmate emphasized that its infrastructure-focused approach differentiates it from digital asset treasuries that rely primarily on financial engineering for growth.
Additionally, Solmate Infrastructure revealed plans to pursue an "aggressive M&A strategy" targeting opportunities across the Solana value chain. The company indicated it would apply rigorous criteria to potential acquisitions to ensure synergy and drive SOL-per-share growth.
"We aren’t interested in simply bolting on smaller companies to generate revenue," said Marco Santori, CEO of Solmate Infrastructure. "We are targeting businesses for which our SOL treasury will be fuel for their engine of growth – just like it is for ours – and will use that growth to accrete more SOL-per-share for Solmate investors."
The company also announced an amendment to its registration rights agreement with participants in its oversubscribed $300 million PIPE financing. The registration statement for PIPE investor shares is now expected to be filed with the SEC by November 22, 2025, providing the company with additional flexibility as it develops its infrastructure initiatives.
