B Strategy Raises $1B for Public BNB Reserve Company
Digital asset firm B Strategy plans to raise up to $1 billion to establish a publicly listed BNB reserve company in the US. The fundraising round is backed by YZi Labs, the family office of Binance co-founders CZ and Yi He, marking a major strategic move within the Binance ecosystem. The new entity will be led by Max Hua, former Bitmain CFO and Metalpha co-founder, aiming not just to hold BNB but to act as a “Berkshire Hathaway” for the BNB ecosystem. It will fund core development, support experimental projects, and drive community-led innovations. Emphasizing transparency and robust governance, B Strategy will adopt independent audits, top-tier custody, strict risk controls, and seamless cross-border processes to meet institutional demands from New York to Hong Kong.
Bullish
The announcement is likely bullish for BNB. Backing from Binance founders and a $1 billion fundraise signals strong institutional confidence. The governance framework, audits, top-tier custody and cross-border setup address key concerns of institutional investors. Parallels can be drawn with Grayscale’s successful Bitcoin trust, which boosted institutional inflows and price stability. In the short term, this news may drive positive sentiment and price support for BNB. In the long term, a well-capitalized, transparent reserve entity could enhance liquidity, ecosystem development and broader adoption, reinforcing BNB’s market position.
