CEA Industries targets 1% of total BNB supply by year-end, mirroring Strategy’s Bitcoin accumulation approach.
Binance Coin reached a new all-time high above $1,300 on October 7, 2025, propelling BNB Chain meme coins to surge alongside corporate treasury expansions. The rally pushed BNB’s market capitalization past $180 billion, overtaking XRP to secure the third position among cryptocurrencies by market value.
BNB Chain meme tokens experienced explosive gains with several CZ-inspired coins posting triple-digit percentage increases and combined trading volumes exceeding $335 million in 24 hours.
The price surge drove a 19% weekly gain for BNB, with the token trading around $1,314 at press time. Market data shows BNB’s total value locked increased from $7.58 billion on September 27 to $8.69 billion by October 7, marking the highest level since May 2022. Active addresses on BNB Chain surpassed 60 million monthly users, representing a 100% increase year-to-date.
CEA Industries announced holdings of 480,000 BNB tokens valued at approximately $585.5 million as of October 6, 2025. The Nasdaq-listed company acquired the tokens at an average price of $860, bringing total investment to $412.8 million. Combined with $77.5 million in cash and short-term assets, CEA’s total crypto and cash reserves reached $663 million.
The company deployed an estimated $78 million in September to add more than 91,000 tokens to its treasury. CEA Industries disclosed 388,888 BNB in September before ramping up accumulation as prices climbed toward record highs.
The firm aims to acquire 1% of the total BNB supply by the end of 2025, positioning itself as the largest corporate holder of Binance Coin.
CEO David Namdar described BNB as “the fulcrum of a massively integrated ecosystem” in an official statement. The company’s stock responded positively to the disclosure, with BNC closing 7.9% higher in Tuesday’s trading session following a 15% surge the previous day. CEA’s strategy mirrors approaches taken by Strategy for Bitcoin and BitMine Technologies for Ethereum.
A token named “4” surged approximately 25% in 24 hours with nearly $79 million in trading volume, reaching a market cap of $243 million within one week of launch.
The token references Changpeng “CZ” Zhao’s “fourth” resolution for 2023, which emphasized dismissing misinformation while focusing on development.
Other CZ-inspired meme coins posted even steeper gains. Paul (PALU) climbed 2,246% and 客服小何 (Binance Life) rose 415% in 24 hours. Together, these tokens generated over $335 million in on-chain trading volumes according to DEXScreener data. BNB Chain tokens dominated 19 of the top 20 trending coins tracked over a six-hour window.
Binance founder Changpeng Zhao posted on X: “BNB meme szn! I didn’t expect this at all. And people keep asking me to predict the future… Keep building!”. On-chain analytics platform Bubblemaps reported more than 100,000 traders bought new BNB memecoins, with approximately 70% in profit at the time of reporting.
