Liminatus Pharma and CEA Industries have joined the growing trend of corporate BNB treasury strategies, announcing significant allocations totaling over $1 billion combined. These announcements follow Windtree Therapeutics’ pioneering $700 million BNB investment revealed last week.
Liminatus Pharma (NASDAQ: LIMN) unveiled plans to establish an “American BNB Strategy” subsidiary and allocate $500 million into BNB as a long-term asset. According to the official statement, BNB was selected for its active global user base and staking models like Launchpool. “This is not a short-term speculative initiative,” said Liminatus CEO Chris Kim, describing it as a value-driven, long-term strategy.
In a parallel move, CEA Industries Inc. (NASDAQ: VAPE) revealed a $500 million private placement led by 10X Capital and supported by YZi Labs, further strengthening the institutional backing for BNB.
Binance founder Changpeng Zhao (CZ) reacted to CEA Industries’ announcement on social media, noting that this marks the third company to invest in BNB as part of their corporate treasury strategy within a single week.
