Solana Company Gets Hong Kong Strategic Enterprise Status and Plans Local Validators

Solana Company, trading on Nasdaq under the ticker HSDT, has received strategic enterprise recognition from the Hong Kong government. The firm announced the news on Thursday, saying it joined the seventh group of companies chosen by the city’s Office for Attracting Strategic Enterprises, known as OASES. It also described itself as the only blockchain infrastructure business the office brought in during 2026.

What the OASES Program Offers

Officials confirmed last week that 18 more companies were added, lifting the program’s total to 142. A company spokesperson said the status gives the firm one contact point across several government bodies and regulators. It also opens quicker routes for hiring talent from overseas and brings introductions to institutional partners based in the city.

Solana Validator Operations Coming to Hong Kong

The company runs staking and validator infrastructure, advises financial institutions that want to adopt blockchain technology, and keeps Solana (SOL) in its digital asset treasury. Its next step is setting up validator operations in Hong Kong through an effort called Pacific Backbone, which aims to build a fast, low latency blockchain network that serves the wider Asia Pacific region.
