📣 Nano Labs Buys $50M in BNB in $1B Plan to Hold Up to 10% of Supply
The purchase is part of a larger plan and brings Nano Labs' total digital asset reserves to around $160 million.
Nano Labs bought $50 million worth of Binance's BNB token, acquiring 74,315 BNB at an average price of $672.45.
The purchase is part of a plan to allocate up to $1 billion to BNB, funded in part by $500 million in convertible notes, and brings Nano Labs' total digital asset reserves to around $160 million.
Nano Labs (NA), a Nasdaq-listed chipmaker, snapped up about $50 million worth of Binance’s BNB (BNB) token as it works toward a goal of owning as much as 10% of the total supply.
The Hong Kong-based company said it bought 74,315 BNB in an over-the-counter deal at an average price near $672.45, lifting its total digital asset reserves, including bitcoin (BTC), to around $160 million.
The purchase marks the first major step in Nano Labs’ plan to allocate as much as $1 billion to BNB, funded partly through $500 million in convertible notes.
Nano Labs’ shares fell 4.7% on Thursday, and slipped another 2.15% after hours to $8.20.
The company isn’t alone in looking to accumulate BNB as a treasury reserve asset. A group of former hedge-fund executives late last month revealed plans to raise $100 million to buy the cryptocurrency through a Nasdaq-listed shell company.
