๐ Nasdaq-Listed Biotech Firm to Buy $700M in $BNB After ATH Surge
Windtree Therapeutics ($WINT), a Pennsylvania-based biotech company, has announced plans to purchase up to $700 million worth of #BNB , Binance's native cryptocurrency, for its corporate treasury. This comes just one day after BNB hit an all-time high of $808.
๐น The firm will raise $520M through equity financing, adding to a previously announced $200M commitment.
๐น It has partnered with Kraken for custody, trading, and OTC services.
๐น Windtreeโs strategy mirrors other public companies diving into crypto treasury holdings, following the lead of Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy).
BNB is currently the 5th largest cryptocurrency with a market cap of $106.9B. Launched in 2017 by Binance, it now powers the #BNBChain , a popular smart contract platform.
Despite a 5% dip today, Windtree's stock is up 162% this month. The move follows similar headlines from Nano Labs, which plans a $1B BNB buy.
