Nano Labs’ Shift to BNB Reserves
Nano Labs has recently undergone a significant shift, adopting BNB as its primary reserve asset.
Since Q2 2025, the company has accumulated roughly 128,000 BNB tokens, valued at over US $108 million at current market prices.
This move is part of a broader crypto-centric strategy designed to strengthen its balance sheet. Last month, Nano Labs announced a US $500 million convertible notes issuance, structured with zero interest and a 360-day maturity, convertible into Class A shares at US $20 per share.
The capital raised will support the company’s ambitious plan to eventually control 5–10% of BNB’s total circulating supply.
Nano Labs made a strategic equity investment in CEA Industries Inc., a firm developing BNB reserve infrastructure.
BNB Price Growth
This strategic shift by Nano Labs coincides with BNB’s strong performance in the ongoing market cycle. BNB is currently trading near $843, up by around 50% in the past year.
The coin has set multiple record highs this year, most recently touching $899.7 last week, its latest all-time peak.
It’s easily one of the best cryptos to buy, as analysts suggest that a potential BNB ETF approval could push BNB to the $1,000 mark.
