On Sept 17, 2025, Leon Lu, founder of B Strategy, announced the launch of a $1 billion U.S.-listed BNB treasury in partnership with YZi Labs. The announcement, made through a video with Binance’s former CEO Changpeng Zhao (CZ) on the X platform, established BNB’s extensive utility across CeFi and DeFi ecosystems. https://twitter.com/BStrategyTech/status/1967969608721485935 Institutional Leap for BNB BNB’s treasury initiative is designed to give regulated and transparent exposure to BNB, a move aimed at maximizing BNB returns per share while providing independent audits for credibility. Early commitments from prominent Asian family offices highlight the scale of interest from high-net-worth and institutional investors.

His team includes veterans from both traditional finance and the crypto sector, including executives from Bitmain, further boosting confidence in the project’s execution. “The goal is to maximize BNB per share and offer full transparency to investors,” said Lu in the video. CZ’s Influence and Market Expansion While Changpeng Zhao clarified that he only supports a select group of financially sound firms, his participation shows the importance of BNB in the crypto space. BNB already enjoys a strong presence in corporate treasuries, with public companies investing more than $794 million in 2025 alone. China Renaissance, for example, allocated $100 million into BNB this August, underscoring the asset’s appeal beyond retail speculation. According to CoinMarketCap data, BNB is the fifth-largest cryptocurrency with a valuation of $132 billion. BNB Price Analysis: At the Brink of Breakout At the time of writing, BNB trades at $949, brushing against the upper resistance of a long-term ascending channel on the weekly chart below. The price is pressing against the upper Bollinger Band ($967), signaling potential overextension. Meanwhile, the RSI is hovering above 70, i.e., BNB is in overbought territory, often preceding consolidation or pullbacks. Both the MACD line (75.91) and signal line (54.82) point strongly upward, confirming bullish strength. Source: TradingView If momentum continues and the channel resistance breaks, BNB could push toward the psychological level of $1,200, setting new record highs. On the other hand, failure to sustain above $950 may trigger a pullback toward mid-channel support near $750, or deeper corrections toward $540 if bearish pressure intensifies.
