BNB Treasury Firm BNC Acquires 200,000 Binance Coins, Becomes Largest Corporate Holder

Nasdaq-listed CEA Industries has purchased 200,000 Binance Coins worth $160 million, becoming the largest corporate holder of BNB. The acquisition is the first step in a $500 million treasury plan, with potential expansion to $1.25 billion.
