Solana Company (HSDT), Anchorage Digital, and Kamino collaborate to bring institutional capital to Solana's high-performance DeFi ecosystem through a first-of-its-kind tri-party custody model
Institutions earn staking rewards while accessing on-chain liquidity-24/7 automated collateral management enables real-time borrowing operations without sacrificing custody, compliance, or operational control
Scalable model designed to provide a blueprint for other treasury companies and what institutional investors will demand
NEWTOWN, Pa., Feb. 13, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Solana Company (NASDAQ: HSDT or the "Company"), together with Anchorage Digital and Kamino, today launched the first-ever digital asset treasury to enable borrowing against natively staked SOL in qualified custody.
Under the innovative structure, Solana Company will collaborate to bring institutional capital to Solana's high-performance DeFi ecosystem through a first-of-its-kind tri-party custody model.
Cosmo Jiang, General Partner at Pantera Capital Management and a Member of the Board of Directors for Solana Company, said, "This structure demonstrates how institutional-grade infrastructure can unlock deeper participation on Solana. It's a strong example of how regulated custody and on-chain borrowing and lending can work together within the Solana ecosystem. Simply put, we believe this scalable model is the blueprint other treasury companies will follow and institutional investors will demand."
Anchorage Digital will act as collateral manager for natively-staked SOL, enabling institutions to earn staking rewards while simultaneously unlocking borrowing power on Kamino. All collateral will remain held in the borrower's segregated account at Anchorage Digital Bank. This step ensures that all assets remain in custody, even as their economic value is tracked within Kamino's lending markets.
"Institutions want access to the most efficient sources of on-chain liquidity, but they aren't willing to compromise on custody, compliance, or operational control. Atlas collateral management allows institutions to keep natively staked SOL held with a qualified custodian while using it productively, bringing institutional-grade risk management to Solana's lending markets," said Nathan McCauley, CEO and Co-Founder of Anchorage Digital.
Cheryl Chan, Head of Strategy, Kamino, said "This collaboration unlocks meaningful institutional demand to borrow against assets held in qualified custody. By partnering with Anchorage Digital, Kamino enables institutions to access on-chain liquidity and yield on Solana while continuing to custody assets within their existing regulated framework."
A flagship model for institutional on-chain finance
- Seamlessly connect lending and borrowing markets to protocol-native credit via Anchorage Digital's tri-party custody infrastructure and collateral management suite.
- Access a new class of institutional borrowers by accepting a full spectrum of collateral, from standard digital assets to reward-bearing, unwrapped (native BTC, ETH, or SOL), and fiat positions.
- Access credit directly while collateral remains held at Anchorage Digital Bank
- Keep assets within existing custodial, compliance, and risk management workflows
Using Atlas collateral management, Anchorage Digital provides 24/7 automated oversight of loan-to-value ratios, orchestrates margin and collateral movements, and executes rules-based liquidations when required. This provides institutions with familiar risk, compliance, and operational controls while enabling direct participation.
This model is purpose-built for institutions seeking protocol-native credit while retaining the benefits of working with a federally-regulated qualified custodian. With Atlas, institutions receive both on-chain borrowing and the safety of industry-leading custody standards.
Beyond the initial deployment, the collaboration is designed as a repeatable blueprint for institutional participation in protocol borrowing. It can be reused by other investors, venture firms, and protocols seeking to serve institutional markets.
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.
