Overview

  • BNC deployed $160 million from a $500 million private placement to acquire 200,000 BNB, securing the largest corporate stake in the token.
  • The financing, led by 10X Capital with backing from YZi Labs, includes warrants that could boost BNC’s buying power by an additional $750 million.
  • As part of the pivot, BNC rebranded from VAPE, named David Namdar as CEO and added two 10X Capital directors to its board.
  • The company plans to pursue staking and DeFi revenue opportunities on BNB Chain to monetize its growing token reserves.
  • Analysts view the purchase as a sign of rising institutional demand for altcoin treasuries but warn it may concentrate market influence.
