Solana Company (NASDAQ: HSDT), Anchorage Digital, and Kamino launched a tri-party custody model enabling institutions to borrow against natively staked SOL while keeping assets in qualified custody. The structure allows institutions to earn ~7% native staking yield and access 24/7 on-chain liquidity with automated collateral management.

The model keeps collateral in segregated accounts at Anchorage Digital Bank, uses Atlas for rules-based LTV oversight and liquidations, and is presented as a repeatable blueprint for institutional participation in Solana lending markets.

defi financial
"bring institutional capital to Solana's high-performance DeFi ecosystem through a first-of-its-kind"
DeFi, short for decentralized finance, is a system of financial services built on blockchain technology that operates without traditional banks or intermediaries. It allows people to borrow, lend, trade, and earn interest directly with each other through digital platforms, much like using a peer-to-peer marketplace. For investors, DeFi offers the potential for greater access, transparency, and control over their financial activities.
View in glossary
staking rewards financial
"Institutions earn staking rewards while accessing on-chain liquidity—24/7 automated"
Staking rewards are incentives given to individuals who commit their cryptocurrency holdings to support a blockchain network's operations, such as confirming transactions and maintaining security. Think of it like earning interest or dividends for locking up your savings or investments, encouraging people to keep their assets engaged in keeping the system running smoothly. For investors, staking rewards provide a way to earn passive income while helping to secure the network.
on-chain liquidity financial
"staking rewards while accessing on-chain liquidity—24/7 automated collateral"
On-chain liquidity is the amount of assets available to buy or sell directly on a blockchain-based market, such as decentralized exchanges and smart-contract pools. It matters to investors because higher on-chain liquidity makes trades easier and less likely to move the market price—think of it as a supermarket with many items on the shelf versus a tiny corner store: the bigger the supply, the less your purchase will change the price and the lower the risk of getting stuck with an order.
tri-party custody financial
"through a first-of-its-kind tri-party custody model"
Tri-party custody is an arrangement where a neutral third party (usually a bank or custodian) holds and manages assets on behalf of two other parties, handling safekeeping, settlement and record-keeping like a shared locker and accountant. For investors it matters because it reduces day-to-day operational burden and counterparty risk by ensuring assets are tracked, protected and exchanged correctly—similar to using an escrow service to make sure both sides meet their obligations.
qualified custodian regulatory
"keep natively staked SOL held with a qualified custodian while using it productively"
A qualified custodian is a regulated financial institution that holds and safeguards investors' cash and securities on behalf of another party, acting like a secure vault and official record-keeper. It matters to investors because using a qualified custodian reduces the risk that assets will be lost, stolen, or misused, and provides independent verification and legal protection that many regulators and contracts require.
loan-to-value ratios financial
"provides 24/7 automated oversight of loan-to-value ratios, orchestrates margin"
Loan-to-value ratio is the percentage that compares how much is borrowed to the market value of the asset used as collateral (for example, a mortgage loan amount divided by the home's appraised value). It matters to investors because a higher ratio means more leverage and greater risk of loss if prices fall, which affects interest rates, lending decisions and the stability or pricing of securities tied to those loans — like bonds or funds backed by mortgages or loans.
liquidations financial
"orchestrates margin and collateral movements, and executes rules-based liquidations when required"
Liquidations are the process of turning assets or investment positions into cash by selling them, either voluntarily or because a lender or exchange forces a sale. Think of it like clearing out a garage to sell items quickly: it raises cash but can push prices down if many sellers act at once. For investors, liquidations matter because they can create sudden price swings, reveal financial stress, and change available supply and demand in a market.
protocol-native credit financial
"institutions seeking protocol-native credit while retaining the benefits"
A protocol-native credit is a loan-like balance or IOU that is created, recorded and handled entirely inside a blockchain or decentralized finance protocol, often represented by a token or ledger entry unique to that system. Investors care because this credit is only as reliable as the protocol’s code and rules—like store credit that only works at one app—so its value, liquidity and recoverability depend on smart contract security, token design and the protocol’s governance rather than traditional banks or regulators.

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.
