LOUISVILLE, CO, Sept. 22, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- CEA Industries Inc. (NASDAQ:BNC), ("BNC" or the "Company"), today reported financial results for its first fiscal quarter ended July 31, 2025.1 The Company's first-quarter performance underscores the resilience of our core business while complementing the transformational growth following the successful closing of a $500 million private placement at the end of the quarter. As part of the Company's new Digital Asset Treasury (DAT) strategy, the Company is targeting 1% ownership of BNB's total supply by the end of calendar 2025.
"This quarter was the dawn of a new era for our company, culminating in our rebirth as BNC," said David Namdar, CEO of CEA Industries. "We intend to continue to fortify our balance sheet and build out a world-class management team to execute on a mission: to build the world's leading digital asset treasury company focused on the BNB ecosystem."
Fiscal Quarter and Subsequent Strategic Highlights
- Announced and Closed Transformational Financing: On July 28, 2025, the Company announced a $500 million private placement and successfully closed it on August 5, 2025. The offering has the potential to deliver up to $1.25 billion in gross proceeds if all associated warrants are exercised.
- New Nasdaq Ticker: On August 6, 2025, the Company's common stock began trading on the Nasdaq under new ticker symbol "BNC".
The financial results for the quarter ended July 31, 2025 (which, for clarity, is the Company's first quarter of its Fiscal Year 2026), reflect the Company's legacy operations prior to the initiation of the digital asset treasury strategy, and the closing of a $500 million private placement. The acquisition of digital assets commenced subsequent to the end of the reporting period, and these digital assets are not included in the first quarter financials. The digital asset treasury is expected to be reflected in the subsequent fiscal Q2 financials, which period ends on October 31st, and is expected to be reported on or prior to December 15, 2025.
Business Outlook
Looking ahead, CEA Industries remains committed to the disciplined execution of its digital asset treasury, which is designed to complement and strengthen its operating business. The Company will continue to deploy significant capital to acquire additional BNB, with the publicly stated goal of owning 1% of the total BNB supply.
The Company plans to provide transparent and timely updates on its BNB holdings and treasury operations.
