CEA Industries closes $500M private placement, targets BNB digital assets

CEA Industries Inc. (NASDAQ: BNC) completed a $500 million private placement on August 5, 2025, according to a company statement. The financing closed after the company's first fiscal quarter ended July 31, 2025.

The company announced a digital asset treasury strategy focused on BNB tokens, with a target of acquiring 1% of BNB's total supply by the end of calendar 2025. The acquisition of digital assets began after the reporting period and will not appear in first quarter financial results.

The private placement offering could generate up to $1.25 billion in gross proceeds if all associated warrants are exercised. On August 6, 2025, the company's stock began trading under the ticker symbol "BNC" on the Nasdaq exchange.

"This quarter was the dawn of a new era for our company, culminating in our rebirth as BNC," said David Namdar, CEO of CEA Industries. "We intend to continue to fortify our balance sheet and build out a world-class management team to execute on a mission: to build the world's leading digital asset treasury company focused on the BNB ecosystem."

The first quarter financial results reflect the company's operations before implementing the digital asset strategy. The digital asset treasury is expected to be included in second quarter financials for the period ending October 31, 2025.

CEA Industries operates on a fiscal year beginning May 1. The company plans to provide updates on its BNB holdings and treasury operations, according to the statement.
