EA Industries Inc. (Nasdaq: BNC) announced on Monday that it now holds 480,000 BNB tokens worth approximately $585.5 million, cementing its status as the world’s largest BNB treasury company.
The holdings, acquired at an average price of $860 per token, represent a total investment of $412.8 million, with an additional $77.5 million in cash reserves. Combined, CEA’s crypto and cash holdings stand at $663 million as of October 7, 2025, as per the official press release.
BNB’s surge to an all-time high of $1,336 has elevated its market capitalization to roughly $185 billion, placing it third largest cryptocurrency, just below Bitcoin and Ethereum, as per CoinMarketCap data.
CEA CEO David Namdar described the milestone as “a validation of the BNB ecosystem’s scale and credibility,” emphasizing that BNB is not merely a token but “the fulcrum of a massively integrated ecosystem.”
CEA’s concentrated exposure to BNB distinguishes it from peers like Strategy Inc. and Bitmine Immersion Technologies, which focus on Bitcoin and Ethereum respectively. The firm said its goal is to own 1% of BNB’s total supply by the end of 2025, a move it views as a long-term bet on Binance’s expanding blockchain and DeFi ecosystem.
BNB rally turns CEA’s high-risk treasury bet into a timely win
BNB’s ongoing rally appears to be fueling CEA’s confidence. The token recently surpassed $1,300 and overtook both XRP and USDT in select market metrics to become the third-largest cryptocurrency by capitalization. Analysts cite record Binance inflows of $14.8 billion in Q3, new gas fee reductions on BNB Chain, and rising DeFi activity as key factors behind the surge.
This confluence of exchange strength and network efficiency is reshaping how corporate treasuries like CEA view crypto assets. While traditional treasury strategies remain diversified, CEA’s all-in bet on BNB echoes a growing belief that ecosystem tokens can function as long-term, yield-generating assets rather than speculative instruments.
As Binance tightens its grip on trading and on-chain activity, CEA’s all-in BNB bet stands as a bold experiment in single-asset treasury management. With BNB now a top-three crypto, what once looked risky now reads as calculated timing—or just sharp luck.
