CEA Industries Acquires $33M Worth of BNB, Aiming for 1% of BNB Supply by 2025

CEA Industries has acquired 38,888 BNB tokens worth $33M, bringing its total holdings to 388,888 tokens. The company aims to own 1% of BNB's total supply by the end of 2025. BNB is a core part of the Binance ecosystem, powering transactions, fee discounts, and DeFi applications. The acquisition is seen as a strategic move, either as a hedge against market volatility or a bet on Binance's ongoing dominance in the industry.

CEA Industries has bolstered its BNB holdings by acquiring an additional 38,888 tokens, valued at approximately $33 million. This latest purchase brings the company's total BNB holdings to 388,888 tokens, worth about $330 million [2]. The acquisition is part of CEA Industries' long-term strategy to consolidate reserves in the Binance ecosystem token.

The company's CEO, David Namdar, emphasized the potential of BNB, stating, "Our mission couldn’t be clearer: every purchase amplifies our conviction, deepens our exposure, and accelerates us toward our bold target of owning 1% of the entire BNB supply" [2]. If the company executes its full treasury plan, including exercising warrants that could generate up to $750 million in proceeds, its BNB holdings could exceed $1.25 billion.

CEA Industries' initial BNB acquisition in August 2025, worth $160 million, was funded through a private placement led by investment firm 10X Capital in partnership with YZi Labs. This initial purchase led to a significant stock rally, with shares of BNC (CEA Industries' ticker symbol) climbing over 800% in a single trading session [2].

The acquisition of BNB tokens is seen as a strategic move for CEA Industries, either as a hedge against market volatility or a bet on Binance's ongoing dominance in the industry. BNB is a core part of the Binance ecosystem, powering transactions, fee discounts, and DeFi applications.

CEA Industries' focus on BNB is also inspiring other companies and investment firms to accumulate Binance Chain's native token. Digital asset firm B Strategy, founded by former Bitmain executives, announced plans to launch a $1 billion BNB-focused treasury, backed by YZi Labs [2].
