Solana Company (NASDAQ: HSDT) Announces Plan for the Pacific Backbone, a High-Speed Infrastructure Buildout for Solana

• Deployment to be focused on Asia-Pacific region to capitalize on fast-growing wealth accumulation, cross-border payments, and institutional adoption of digital assets
  
  
• Expansion planned to enable Solana Company to capture more value by eliminating external costs and providing compliant infrastructure for regulated institutions
  
  
• Strategic buildout designed to address needs of market makers, high-frequency traders, exchanges, and traditional finance partners across the Solana ecosystem
  
  

NEWTOWN, Pa., Feb. 23, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Solana Company (NASDAQ: HSDT or the “Company”) today rolled out a strategic roadmap to invest in a new low-latency cluster in Asia Pacific to drive staking and validation with the focus on supporting Solana’s ecosystem building and diversifying revenue streams for Solana Company. The significant new infrastructure investment, which will start with connecting Seoul, Tokyo, Singapore, and Hong Kong, is designed to help address the significant gap in Solana’s network in the region despite the fact that the majority of the global population and crypto users, and substantial wealth are located there. The region also has significant share of global financial transactions especially in cross-border payments and trading.

Solana Company plans to begin building out the network infrastructure immediately, expanding to optimizing performance and adopting new technologies by the second half of 2026, and anticipates launching liquidity related new products and services within the next 12 to 18 months.

“The reality is, we see an opportunity to improve Solana staking and validation for users across Asia,” said Cosmo Jiang, General Partner at Pantera Capital Management. “There is so much excitement and commitment to crypto across the region. We believe this investment roadmap will be critical for anyone holding and building on Solana and we expect it to diversify our revenue.”

Specifically, Solana Company will focus on addressing the needs of market makers, high-frequency traders as well as other Solana partners. The strategic roadmap will begin by activating a series of smaller nodes to ensure security and efficiency and then scale from there. The plan includes implementing state-of-the-art hardware and potentially capturing more value within the staking business.

Joseph Chee, CEO of Solana Company (HSDT), said, “We are building for Solana’s next super cycle. By establishing the Pacific Backbone, we better support our existing ecosystem of developers and partners while accelerating the onboarding of new participants—particularly financial institutions and tech companies in the region. Together, these investments will unlock significant potential for Solana across Asia Pacific and strengthen its connection to global markets.”

In order to target mass adoption, Solana Company intends to build out DeFi, liquid staking, AMMs, RPC services, and execution services for its traditional finance partners in the APAC region.

Solana has historically been the fastest-growing blockchain, leading the industry in transaction revenue, and processing more than 3,500 transactions per second. The network is also the most widely adopted, with an average of around 3.7 million daily active wallets and surpassing 23 billion transactions year-to-date. SOL is financially productive by design, offering a ~7% native staking yield, whereas assets like BTC are non-yield-bearing.

As an independent treasury company, HSDT’s mission is to support the growth and security of tokenized networks by serving as a long-term holder of $SOL, in addition to continuing the development of its neurotech and medical device operations.
