Nasdaq-listed BNB treasury firm CEA Industries buys 200K BNB for $160M, starting its $1.25B long-term investment plan.
CEA Industries (BNC), which is listed on the Nasdaq, became the largest BNB treasury firm earlier when it paid $160 million for 200,000 Binance Coins.
This is the first of five hundred million dollars invested in BNB cryptocurrency.
This effort to assist CEA in developing its own BNB reserves is spearheaded by 10x Capital in collaboration with CZ-backed YZi Labs.
Start Of $1.25 Billion Purchase Plan By BNB Treasury Firm
After paying $160 million for 200,000 BNB, Nasdaq-listed BNC, formerly VAPE, became the world’s largest corporate cryptocurrency holder.
This is the first significant acquisition following the company’s announcement of the BNB treasury firm plan last week, which caused the price of BNC stock to rise by 550%.
A $500 million private placement led by 10X Capital and YZi Labs was used to finance the acquisition.
According to the corporation, it plans to keep acquiring BNB and may raise its stake to $1.25 billion.
CEA Industries is concentrating heavily on gaining substantial exposure to BNB with the new BNC ticker.
BNB treasury firm has also disclosed essential leadership changes in this area.
There are 250 million BNB Coin users on the market as of July 2025, and daily trading volume averages $9.3 billion.
According to CEA Industries, BNB is still underrepresented in the US market.
By increasing institutional participation in the BNB ecosystem, BNC seeks to close this gap.
As previously stated, the business will proceed with its BNB purchase plan after the initial treasury allocation is fully deployed.
It may access up to an additional $750 million under its warrant structure.
This will remove the requirement to hold the token directly and enable BNB treasury company BNC to expose BNB to investors in the US and elsewhere indirectly.
As the treasury firm pointed out, “BNB is not just a strategic reserve—it’s a growth opportunity aligned with one of the strongest ecosystems in the industry.”
The BNC stock saw a sharp fall after peaking above $50.
But as of Friday’s closing, it has recovered from the $16.10 support and is trading above $17.1.
Growth Of BNB Ecosystem
The ecosystem for BNB, the native cryptocurrency of BNB Chain, has grown significantly in terms of Web3 developers and consumers.
It is currently the third-largest blockchain by total value locked (TVL), with $12.3 billion, indicating significant growth potential.
The price of BNB has seen a slight increase, rising 20% on the monthly chart to trade at $822.
As investors seek new all-time highs, market gurus predict a rise to $1,000 and higher.
