Chinese Firm Aims for $1B BNB Treasury – Binance’s Token Poised for Corporate Adoption?

Move over dollar reserves—this corporate giant is betting big on Binance Coin.

The billion-dollar crypto pivot

A Shenzhen-based tech conglomerate just revealed plans to allocate 9 figures worth of their cash reserves into BNB. No slow accumulation—this is a full-throttle treasury transformation.

Why BNB beats bank deposits

With yields on traditional deposits barely covering inflation (if you're lucky), the move screams institutional frustration with legacy finance. The company's CFO cited 'yield opportunities' and 'operational utility'—corporate speak for 'banks aren't cutting it anymore.'

The regulatory tightrope

Observers note the irony: while China maintains its crypto trading ban, businesses keep finding loopholes to hold digital assets. The $1B stash would represent nearly 5% of BNB's circulating supply—enough to make even the most jaded trader raise an eyebrow.

One hedge fund manager quipped: 'When corporations start treating altcoins like dollar reserves, either we're early—or they're about to learn why the SEC exists.'

In brief

• Nano Labs wants to buy up to 10% of the circulating BNB for 1 billion dollars.
• Markets doubt this crypto strategy since the stock dropped despite the 50 million investment.

A colossal crypto bet: 10% of global BNB in the sights

Nano Labs has just made. Its primary goal: to build a company treasury completely focused on crypto. The company now holds 160 million dollars in digital assets (BNB and Bitcoin). According to its press release, it aims to acquire between 5% and 10% of the circulating supply of Binance’s native token.

However, the market remains skeptical. Indeed, the initial announcement of the plan had caused the stock to jump by +106%. But it then fell by 6.7% after the last purchase. The crypto market itself remained unmoved. Proof:

Indeed, buying 10% of BNB WOULD require more than 926 million dollars at the current price. Yet, 71% of the supply is still held by Binance and its former CEO CZ. This makes Nano Labs’ goal almost unrealistic.

A criticized crypto strategy: Scaramucci sounds the alert

Among crypto experts, Nano Labs’ strategy is not universally approved. Anthony Scaramucci, founder of SkyBridge Capital, for example, doubts the long-term viability of crypto treasuries. According to him, it would be better to buy the token directly yourself if a company invests your 10 dollars in BNB.

Even though he says he is bullish on Bitcoin, he urges cryptocurrency investors to look at the hidden costs associated with this type of structure. A recurring criticism for these companies whose valuation depends more on their tokens than on their actual business!

The crypto bet of Nano Labs therefore intrigues as much as it worries. Is it a strategic turning point or a risky hype? In any case, the crypto market is watching and waiting.
