The purchase marks the first major step in Nano Labs’ plan to allocate as much as $1 billion to BNB, funded partly through $500 million in convertible notes.

Nano Labs’ shares fell 4.7% on Thursday, and slipped another 2.15% after hours to $8.20.

The company isn’t alone in looking to accumulate BNB as a treasury reserve asset. A group of former hedge-fund executives late last month revealed plans to raise $100 million to buy the cryptocurrency through a Nasdaq-listed shell company.
