Sameer Group LLC, a privately held alternative investment firm based in Dubai, has announced a significant increase in its assets under management (AUM), which grew from $300 million to $650 million in Q1 2025 — representing a 116% surge. This impressive growth is attributed to the firm’s early and strategic investments in Bitcoin and selected Solana-based assets.
A major driver of this performance was the firm’s long-term Bitcoin holdings, which were accumulated between 2017 and 2018 as part of a macro investment thesis centered on digital asset scarcity and long-term value storage.
“We made our Bitcoin allocation years ago and didn’t touch it. That’s what made the difference this quarter,” said Syed Sameer, Group CEO. “Our philosophy has always been simple: buy the right assets early, hold through noise, and scale when it counts.”
Beyond Bitcoin, Sameer Group deployed capital over the past year into a select group of projects within the Solana ecosystem. These investments span token positions and strategic equity in early-stage infrastructure, tooling, and protocol-layer innovations. The firm emphasized a high-conviction approach, favoring projects with demonstrated product-market fit and strong community engagement.
“We weren’t chasing speculative trends,” added Sameer. “We focused on assets demonstrating real user engagement, clear narrative alignment, and favorable liquidity dynamics. Over the past few quarters, Solana has quietly emerged as the most structurally compelling environment for that.”
To build on this momentum, Sameer Group has unveiled plans to raise an additional $100 million from a network of Dubai-based institutional investors, family offices, and high-net-worth individuals. This capital will be used to expand the firm’s digital asset holdings, with a focus on Binance's BNB token and TRON (TRX) ecosystems — both of which the firm views as poised for long-term growth.
“Binance has shown strong long-term commitment to the UAE’s digital asset ecosystem, and BNB remains central to one of the most widely used infrastructures in crypto,” Sameer said. “TRON continues to lead in stablecoin settlements and cross-border transaction volume. Both ecosystems are fundamentally strong yet undervalued in relation to their utility. This raise allows us to build deeper exposure.”
In addition to its core positions in Bitcoin and Solana, Sameer Group also made key strategic investments in 2024 and early 2025. These include a $300 million participation in World Liberty Financial ($WLFI), a decentralized finance initiative, and a $10 million investment in the Solana Foundation to support its global development efforts.
