Solana Company (NASDAQ: $HSDT) is taking its public-market Solana strategy into Central Asia through a new partnership with Alatau City, Kazakhstan's planned technology and digital finance hub.

The company signed a memorandum of understanding with the Administration of Alatau City to support blockchain infrastructure, digital asset education, stablecoin payments and real-world asset tokenization across the city's emerging fintech ecosystem. The agreement gives Solana Company a role in a project Kazakhstan officials are positioning as a regional hub for digital assets, fintech and Web3-native commerce.

Alatau City is being built as a future-oriented urban center focused on sustainability, technology and green growth. The memorandum was signed during the Alatau City Roadshow in China, which included Hong Kong and Shenzhen and brought together government agencies, investment funds, financial institutions and technology companies. The estimated investment to develop the city is $6 billion.

The partnership will focus on four areas: digital asset treasury, blockchain infrastructure, institutional adoption and platform development. Solana Company said the work will draw on its treasury management experience, Solana-focused infrastructure network, advisory business and compliance-ready operating platforms to connect local institutions with digital asset networks across APAC and global markets.

Alatau City officials are also tying the effort to an "Alatau Crypto Cluster" and a "Tokenization by Default" strategy, aimed at making digital assets part of the city's financial and commercial design from the start.

Chairman and CEO Joseph Chee said the collaboration puts Solana Company "at the center of Central Asia's digital asset buildout," pointing to Alatau City's regulatory foundation and institutional relationships as reasons the project could develop into a regional blockchain hub.

For Solana Company, the agreement extends its pitch beyond balance-sheet Solana (CRYPTO: $SOL) exposure. It gives the company another infrastructure and advisory foothold at a time when listed crypto firms are trying to prove they can build operating businesses around their treasury strategies.

Solana Company (NASDAQ: HSDT) is currently trading at $1.66 U.S. per share.
