Description of Business

 

CEA Industries Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on October 14, 2009, and is headquartered in Louisville, Colorado. Historically, the Company operated a portfolio of consumer and commercial businesses, including climate control systems for controlled environment agriculture and retail operations in the vaping industry.

 

In August 2025, the Company initiated a strategic transformation by adopting a digital asset treasury strategy focused exclusively on Binance Coin (“BNB”), the native token of the BNB Chain blockchain. Through its wholly owned subsidiary, BNC BNB Cayman, the Company seeks to build and manage the largest corporate treasury of BNB, providing institutional-grade exposure to blockchain infrastructure and decentralized finance (DeFi).

 

The Company’s treasury operations include acquiring and holding BNB on its condensed consolidated balance sheet and generating income through activities such as validation services, lending, and other DeFi protocols. This strategy commenced on August 5, 2025, following the closing of a private placement that raised approximately $500 million, with up to $750 million in additional proceeds available through warrant exercises. This capital raise supports the implementation of the Company’s BNB-focused Digital Asset Treasury (“DAT”) strategy, under which BNB serves as the primary treasury reserve asset.

 

To support this strategy, the Company established CEA BRS LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, as a special purpose entity to hold and manage certain cryptocurrency assets in accordance with the DAT strategy. Additionally, the Company formed BNC BNB Cayman, an exempted company organized under the laws of the Cayman Islands, to facilitate international operations and treasury management. These entities are wholly owned subsidiaries of the Company.

 

In connection with this strategic shift, the Company changed its Nasdaq ticker symbol from “VAPE” to “BNC” on August 6, 2025, reflecting its new identity as the BNB Network Company while continuing its core business operations. The Company continues to operate its legacy business, and beginning in the second fiscal quarter ending October 31, 2025, its financial results also reflect the build-out of its digital asset treasury platform.

 

Additionally, on June 6, 2025, the Company completed the acquisition of Fat Panda Ltd. and related entities (“Fat Panda”), entering the Canadian nicotine vape industry. This acquisition aligns with the Company’s strategy to focus on high-growth, regulated consumer markets and provides a vertically integrated infrastructure to support retail expansion and e-commerce capabilities.
