BNB Hoarders: $90M & Counting! 🤑

Ah, Nano Labs. A name that, to the uninitiated, sounds vaguely pharmaceutical, doesn’t it? But no. These are not purveyors of little pills to cure existential dread (though, perhaps they should be). They are, it seems, devoted collectors – of digital fluff. Specifically, Binance Coin (BNB). A perfectly respectable digital fluff, I suppose, if one has $90 million to spend on it. A sum, one notes, sufficient to purchase a rather charming chateau in the Dordogne, or, indeed, a significant number of butterflies. But butterflies don’t promise… *growth*.

Our protagonists, trading with the quaintly clinical designation of ‘NA’ on the Nasdaq (a place I’ve always pictured teeming with bowler hats and anxious tickers), are accumulating this BNB with the enthusiasm of a lepidopterist in a meadow. It’s all terribly ‘strategic’, naturally. Apparently, publicly-traded companies are now permitted to dabble in cryptocurrency “strategic reserves,” a phrase that sounds suspiciously like a sophisticated form of digital magpie-ing. Institutional interest, they say. One pictures stern gentlemen in pinstripes, murmuring about ‘blockchains’ over brandy.

The latest haul – 45,684.9862 BNB, which, to the discerning eye, is almost, but not quite, 45,685 – cost a rather sensible $34.8 million. This brings the total cache to 120,000 BNB, currently valued at approximately $90 million. A perfectly plump little nest egg, wouldn’t you agree? And acquired, they tell us, via ‘over-the-counter transactions.’ How delightfully clandestine! 🕵️

The average purchase price, we are informed, is a respectable $707 per token. One wonders if they haggled. I suspect Mr. Zhao wouldn’t approve of a company failing to attempt a bargain. Still, one must admire their persistence. To spend nearly a hundred million dollars on something one cannot physically hold… it’s a certain kind of beautiful madness.

In June, Nano Labs rather boldly announced a $500 million convertible notes agreement – a term that sounds rather like a particularly complicated recipe. The initial ambition, a cool $1 billion worth of BNB, might seem a tad excessive, but then again, what is excess in the world of digital finance? The ultimate goal, one gathers, is to control between 5% and 10% of the circulating supply. Such ambition! Such… control.

Their plan now involves a multi-pronged attack on the BNB market – more accumulation, investments in BNB-related ventures, and even the acquisition of companies dedicated to BNB. A veritable BNB empire in the making! 🏰

And they are not alone, you see. Windtree Therapeutics, another Nasdaq resident, is contemplating a $200 million BNB spree, starting with a modest $60 million. Backed, naturally, by Build and Build Corp. – a name that implies a commendable, if slightly repetitive, dedication to construction.

Then there’s YZi Labs, backing 10X Capital’s foray into the BNB treasury business. And, bless his heart, Changpeng Zhao himself has offered a supportive nod. The man understands the allure of a well-stocked digital treasury, one imagines. Perhaps he keeps his own little hoard under the mattress. One can dream. 💭
