This one’s wild… A low-key vape company just went all-in on a $500M crypto treasury move and instantly became the biggest corporate holder of BNB. It’s got heavyweight names running the show, serious momentum, and is one of those plays you’ve gotta watch unfold.
TODAY’S TOP ALERT!
CEA Industries (Nasdaq: BNC)
👉 BNC is TODAY’S #1 ALERT 👈
Happy Friday, Folks!
I hope you haven’t checked out for the week, because I have a very interesting “tactical trade” idea to share with you to follow up on yesterday’s 64% mover.
As you probably know, I’ve had great success lately alerting small stocks that are getting into crypto.
Last week, I alerted a cybersecurity company that had recently adopted a crypto treasury strategy. It surged 14% that day…
And this Tuesday, I alerted a social-media marketing company whose foray into crypto received backing from Donald Trump Jr. It also climbed double digits the day of my alert.
Today’s idea is especially wild. CEA Industries (BNC) has heretofore been a little-known vape company serving the Canadian market.
In June, the company acquired Fat Panda Ltd. — “Central Canada’s largest independent vape retailer and vertically integrated manufacturer.”
Fat Panda operates 33 retail locations and a national e-commerce platform. In the fiscal year ending April 30, 2024, it had approximately $28.5 million in revenue with 39% gross margins.
That’s nothing to sneeze at, but it’s what BNC did in July that has really excited investors. Have a look at this headline:
On July 28, the company announced a “$500 million private placement to establish [the] largest publicly-listed $BNB treasury company in the world.” [emphasis added]
According to the press release, the offering “consists of a common equity PIPE delivering $500M in gross proceeds ($400M in cash and $100M in Crypto), plus up to $750M in cash which may be received from exercised warrants to be issued in the private placement (assuming 100% of warrants are exercised).”
For the uninitiated, it helpfully adds that “$BNB is the fourth largest cryptocurrency in the world, with $100B+ market cap, and provides the treasury with opportunities to generate income and rewards on the BNB Chain and Binance ecosystem.”
As part of the move, David Namdar (Galaxy Digital co-founder & 10X Capital senior partner) was appointed CEO, Russell Read (former CIO of CalPERS and CIO of 10X Capital) stepped in as CIO, and Saad Naja (former Kraken director, ex‑Exinity board member) also joined.
10X Capital Founding Partner Hans Thomas and Partner Alexander Monje also joined the company’s board.
Furthermore, 10X Capital will serve as the asset manager of the treasury strategy, supported by YZi Labs.
The press release is worth reading in full to understand what’s going on, but the upshot was an 833% intraday gain in the company’s stock.
Retail trader forum Stocktwits reported a 12,000% increase in mentions of BNC that day, with sentiment flipping to “extremely bullish.”
The $500 million private placement offering closed on August 5, and BNC said it “plans to use the net proceeds to purchase BNB.”
The company previously traded under the symbol VAPE, but on August 6, it began trading under BNC to reflect its new BNB treasury strategy.
On August 10, it was game on, with BNC purchasing 200,000 BNB tokens — worth $160 million — to become “the largest corporate holder of BNB globally.”
And just yesterday, BNC purchased an additional 88,888 BNB. “Our focus is singular and our ambition is clear,” said CEO David Namdar.
In an article about BNC’s moves, The Street noted that “Binance, the last of the big four [blue-chip cryptos], has been under the radar until this month.”
It’s the “most difficult token of the four for U.S. investors to purchase. If any token needs a proxy, it’s BNB.” At the same time, “Unlike other tokens, BNB is linked to the largest and most liquid cryptocurrency exchange in the world.”
The Street predicted that “[t]he company will likely follow the path of MSTR and BMNR, climbing into the billions of dollars range within months, if not weeks.” [emphasis added]
The price of BNB has taken off lately. While Bitcoin is up only 1.6% over the last month, Binance Coin is up 24.6%.
So what have investors made of all this?
We heard about the stock’s 833% rally the day of the initial announcement — Monday, July 28.
The stock pulled back through the following Tuesday, but that Friday, August 8, it began a steady runup. From its low that day through yesterday’s close, it’s up 76%.
The stock seems to have moved past its initial hype and now has well-grounded momentum. I’m watching it today to see where this rally takes it.

Be sure to do your homework on this “tactical” idea, beginning with the company’s initial crypto-treasury announcement. Check out the company’s other press releases and the website for 10x Capital as well.
And of course, always approach your trading in a responsible manner, remembering that trading is very risky. Nothing is ever guaranteed, so never trade with more than you can afford to lose.
Please read the full disclaimer at the bottom of this email as well, so you are aware of additional risks and considerations. Always have a well-thought-out game plan that takes your personal risk tolerance into consideration.
Bottom line: I’m loving this “tactical” setup. BNC is providing investors with significant exposure to one of the four “blue chip” cryptos that have so far not been part of a public company’s dedicated crypto treasury strategy.
With solid momentum over the past week, I’m watching it today for another leg up.
Tune into BNC to see how it plays out!
To Your Success,

Just so you know, what you’re reading is curated content for which we have received a monetary fee (detailed below) to create and distribute. Let’s be clear that investing can be quite the roller coaster as stock prices can have wild swings up and down, so consider those crucial risks before you ever consider trading anything we discuss. Make sure you check out our full disclosure down below for the details on how we were paid, the risks, and why these results aren’t what you’d call “typical.”
Just a quick heads up about this ad you’re reading—as we’ve said, even though we like the company referenced above, and all the facts we discussed above are true to the best of our knowledge, we are running a business here. To distribute this information and help offset the costs of maintaining our large digital audience, in advance of writing the content above, we received twenty five thousand dollars (cash) from Sideways Frequency for advertising CEA Industries, Inc for a one day marketing program starting on August 15, 2025. It might seem obvious, but while our client claims not to own any shares in CEA Industries, Inc, whoever ultimately paid them most likely owns shares. You should assume they are looking to sell some or all of them at any time after we send out this information, which might negatively affect the stock price. We may also buy or sell shares in the company at some point in the future, although neither Sherwood Ventures nor its owners own any shares of the company at this time. Also, keep in mind that due to the sheer size of our audience, if even a small percentage of people decide they want to buy this stock, it could potentially boost interest enough to hike up those share prices and cause a temporary spike, and the opposite is possible as the marketing campaign ends, though that is not always the case.
Now, diving right into CEA Industries, Inc might sound exciting. But remember, it’s like venturing into the wilderness—be aware that there’s exceptional risk involved in trading. This isn’t small potatoes we’re talking about; you could lose every dime you put in, so always carefully think about what you’re doing. That’s why they call this trading, after all. We’re shining a light on the good stuff about the company here, but it’s on you to do your homework, make your own calls, and determine a plan for your own trading, hopefully with the help of your professional 1nvestment advis0r.
Oh, that brings us to another crucial point—we’re not here to tell you (or even recommend) what you should do with your hard-earned money. We’re simply sharing our non-expert thoughts by highlighting some companies who are paying us and we like that could use some help telling their story to more people. We’re obviously biased in our writing. We’re not here to dig into anything that may be negative about the company; this is advertising, after all! Also, keep in mind that if we make some predictions about the future, these are technically known as “forward-L00king statements” under the securities acts, so take those with a grain of salt. As with all forecasts, they’re not set in stone, often wrong, and we certainly can’t know where the Company’s earnings, business, or share price will be tomorrow or a year from now.
Everything you read from us is all for your education, information, and possible entertainment. While we believe the info is reliable and accurate, we can’t wear a cape and guarantee it. Before you jump into anything, make sure to talk it over with a pro—someone you trust who’s licensed to give you real advice. To be clear,
Neither Sherwood Ventures nor its owners, employees, or independent contractors are registered as a securities broker-dealer, broker, 1nvest.ment advis0r (IA), or IA rep’s with the SEC, any state securities regulatory authority, or any self-regu1atory organization.
