BNC becomes the largest corporate holder of BNB after a $160 million purchase.
The company aims to expand holdings to $1.25 billion through warrants.
The move strengthens institutional exposure to BNB in the U.S. market.

Nasdaq-listed BNC has taken a bold step into the crypto market. The company acquired 200,000 BNB tokens for $160 million, making it the largest corporate holder of BNB worldwide. The purchase is part of a broader $500 million private placement led by 10X Capital and YZi Labs.

Everyone talks about “following the smart money,” but when the smart money makes its move, most people still look the other way.

This funding will fuel a treasury strategy built entirely around BNB as the core reserve asset. The acquisition signals a full pivot from the company’s previous focus. Under its new Nasdaq ticker, BNC is shaping a crypto-first approach, targeting long-term growth through exposure to BNB.

The leadership structure has been reorganized as part of this plan. Important industry executives such as CEO David Namdar, Russell Read, and Saad Naja now lead the charge. 10X Capital leaders Hans Thomas and Alexander Monje also sit on the board.

Potential BNB Spot ETF Adds to Investment Interest

BNB is the native currency of BNB Chain, one of the most vibrant Web3 communities. Binance Coin ranks fourth highest in market capitalization of all cryptocurrencies. The network has $12.3 billion of value locked overall and ranks third highest of chains by this metric.

Its deflationary tokenomics, rising transaction volume, and potential triggers like a future BNB spot ETF make it appealing. For BNC, this is more than a defensive treasury play, it’s an investment in a growing ecosystem with strong fundamentals. BNB Chain’s broad user base, active developers, and continuous upgrades add to its attractiveness.

Up until July 2025, BNB boasted 250 million users and $9.3 billion average daily trade volume. That said, U.S. exposure has still been low. BNC hopes to reverse that through institutional-scale investment into the ecosystem.

BNC Sets New Standard for Corporate Crypto Reserves

BNC will continue to purchase BNB until original $500 million is fully deployed. Through its warrant deal, it also has access to another $750 million, increasing the potential overall investment to $1.25 billion. If fully exercised, this will reconstruct corporate treasury strategies in the crypto space.

Through setting up the largest institutional BNB reserve, BNC is also opening up an entry point for U.S. and global investors to earn exposure with no direct ownership of the tokens. This approach reduces barriers of entry for traditional investors while also enhancing liquidity and faith in the asset.

Through this action, BNC is not only placing a bet on BNB Chain’s increase in size but also announcing its intentions of being a leader in digital asset treasury management. The plan integrates aggressive capital allocation and focus on one of the best crypto ecosystems available in the market.
