Hong Kong Names Solana Company a Strategic Enterprise

Hong Kong has designated Nasdaq-listed Solana Company (HSDT) as a strategic enterprise under a government program aimed at attracting businesses that support the city's economic development, according to Cointelegraph.

Solana Company stated Thursday that it was selected among the seventh batch of businesses chosen by Hong Kong’s Office for Attracting Strategic Enterprises (OASES). The firm noted it is the only blockchain infrastructure company onboarded by the office in 2026. Hong Kong’s government confirmed the addition of 18 enterprises to the program last week, bringing its total to 142.

A Solana Company spokesperson told Cointelegraph that the designation provides the firm with a single point of contact across government agencies and regulators, expedited pathways for recruiting overseas talent, and introductions to local institutional partners.

The company operates staking and validator infrastructure, advises financial institutions on blockchain adoption, and holds Solana ($SOL) as part of its digital asset treasury strategy. Solana Company plans to establish validator operations in Hong Kong under Pacific Backbone, an initiative designed to build a low-latency blockchain infrastructure network across the Asia-Pacific region.
