BNB Sets New Record as Institutional Interest Accelerates with Treasury Allocations
BNB, the native token of the BNB Chain, surged to an all-time high of $860 early Monday before pulling back slightly to around $840 during the U.S. trading session. Despite the retracement, BNB posted a 9% gain over the past week, outperforming all other major non-stablecoin cryptocurrencies in the top 10. It also held a 3% increase over the last 24 hours, even as peers like Ethereum (ETH), XRP, and Solana (SOL) gave up earlier gains.
The surge in BNB price comes amid a wave of corporate announcements around new BNB-focused treasury strategies, as listed firms increasingly seek exposure to blockchain-native assets.
CEA Industries Targets Leadership in BNB Treasury Holdings
CEA Industries (VAPE), a Nasdaq-listed firm, revealed plans to raise $500 million through a private funding round backed by Yzi Labs, the family office of Binance founder Changpeng “CZ” Zhao. The company aims to establish the largest BNB treasury among U.S.-listed firms. The round may expand to $1.2 billion depending on investor interest.
CEA’s stock price skyrocketed over 700% following the announcement, signaling strong market enthusiasm for its crypto treasury initiative.
“This facility gives us long-term capital flexibility and positions us to be a strategic anchor in the BNB Chain ecosystem,” the company noted in a press statement.
More Public Companies Join the BNB Treasury Trend
CEA isn’t alone. Several other firms have also unveiled major BNB investment plans:
- Liminatus Pharma (LIMN) announced a new subsidiary, American BNB Strategy, with long-term plans to allocate up to $500 million into BNB.
- Windtree Therapeutics (WINT) disclosed last week a commitment of up to $700 million for BNB acquisitions.
- Nano Labs confirmed on Monday that it had acquired 128,000 BNB tokens, valued at more than $100 million, after sharing its crypto treasury roadmap last Friday.
The uptick in corporate participation highlights growing institutional confidence in the BNB Chain ecosystem, and mirrors broader trends around crypto adoption within traditional capital markets.
BNB’s price movement reflects this sentiment shift, with renewed demand and on-chain participation supporting its bullish breakout. Analysts now expect continued interest in altcoin treasury strategies as companies look to diversify assets and tap into on-chain yield opportunities.
