BNC Acquires 200,000 BNB Worth $160 Million, Becomes the World’s Largest Corporate Holder

The acquisition was funded through a $500 million private placement led by 10X Capital and YZi Labs — a firm backed by CZ. BNC stated that it plans to continue accumulating BNB, with total investments potentially increasing to $1.25 billion. This move came just a week after the company unveiled its “BNB Treasury” plan, which triggered a 550% surge in BNC’s stock price.

According to CEA Industries, although BNB already has about 250 million global users and an average daily trading volume of $9.3 billion (as of July 2025), the U.S. market remains largely untapped. BNC aims to attract stronger institutional inflows into the BNB ecosystem, offering U.S. and global investors indirect exposure to the asset without the need to hold the token directly.

The company is also implementing key leadership changes to support this new strategy. BNC emphasized that BNB is not just a strategic reserve but “a growth opportunity tied to one of the strongest ecosystems in the crypto industry.”

In the market, after plunging from above $50, BNC shares have rebounded from the $16.10 support level, closing Friday at $17.1.

BNB Ecosystem Continues to Expand

BNB, the native cryptocurrency of BNB Chain, has seen remarkable growth in both user base and Web3 developer participation. With a total value locked (TVL) of $12.3 billion, BNB Chain is currently the third-largest blockchain by TVL, signaling substantial growth potential.

Over the past month, BNB’s price has risen 20%, now trading around $822. Analysts expect this upward momentum could push BNB to $1,000 and beyond, potentially setting fresh all-time highs in the near future.
