Paris, France, August 12, 2025 at 8:00 am CET (CBI, Euronext Growth Paris: FR0014007LWO - ALCBI) – CBI today announces that BNC (ex: VAPE), the new BNB Treasury Company in which CBI participated in the funding round, becomes the first institutional holder of BNB tokens. BNC is a company created with the support of YZi Labs and aims to become the new BNB Treasury Company. BNC has raised US$500 million, which can be increased to US$1.25 billion, and announced on August 11, 2025 that it had acquired US$160 million worth of BNB tokens, becoming the largest institutional holder. CBI participated in the founding round of BNC, a company listed on the NASDAQ. On August 11, 2025, the closing price of BNC was $27.34 (+59.88%).

BNB Network Company, the treasury arm of CEA Industries (BNC), has announced the purchase of 200,000 BNB tokens as part of a $160 million investment, making BNB the largest institutional holder of BNB tokens. BNB is the fifth largest cryptocurrency in the world by capitalization (capitalization of more than US$110 billion).

The move is part of the company's new treasury strategy that will focus exclusively on BNB, and follows a recent $500 million private placement led by 10X Capital and YZi Labs. The company plans to pursue the acquisition of BNB until its treasury funds are fully deployed. If the warrants related to the fundraising are exercised, BNC could have up to $1.25 billion to invest in the BNB token.

As part of this fundraising operation, CBI was able to subscribe for 49,505 shares at a unit price of US$10.10, to which are attached warrants entitling the right to subscribe for 49,505 new shares at a price of US$15.15 for a period of 3 years. Shares and warrants are not subject to any lockups.

On August 11, 2025, BNC's closing price was $27.34 (+59.88%) on the NASDAQ.

The deal was underwritten by more than 140 underwriters, led by institutional and native crypto investors, including YZi Labs, Pantera Capital, Arche Capital, GSR, Borderless, Arrington Capital, Blockchain.com, Hypersphere Capital, Kenetic, dao5, Protocol Ventures, Reciprocal Ventures, G-20 Group, Three Point Capital, Propel Horizon, Exinity, Winone, Nano Labs, as well as several other leading investors, including Olaf Carlson Wee, Rajeev Misra's family office and the founders of BitFury, participated in the offering.

NBC has reshuffled its leadership to support this change. David Namdar, co-founder of Galaxy Digital, takes over as CEO, joined by Russell Read, former CIO of CalPERS, and Saad Naja, former director of Kraken. Hans Thomas and Alexander Monje of 10X Capital have also joined the Board of Directors.

This investment is a unique opportunity for CBI to partner with a key blockchain player with a top-tier team.
