U.S. pharmaceutical company Windtree Therapeutics plans to establish a "$200 million BNB reserve"; CZ calls for more BNB micro-strategies.

U.S. publicly traded company Windtree Therapeutics (WINT) announced that it has signed a securities purchase agreement with Build and Build Corp for a total amount of up to $200 million, and that this funding will be used to establish a BNB cryptocurrency reserve. (Background: CZ's family office YZi Labs announced support for 10X Capital to establish a BNB reserve company, and also plans for an IPO.) (Additional background: Wall Street reports that $100 million will be invested to create a "BNB Reserve Company" for listing, with CZ revealing that multiple firms are involved.) Originally focused on pulmonary and cardiovascular drugs, Windtree Therapeutics (WINT) issued an announcement on July 16, stating that it has signed a securities purchase agreement with Build and Build Corp for a total amount of up to $200 million, and that this funding will be used to establish a BNB cryptocurrency reserve. Investment structure: Phase one $60 million in place. According to Windtree's official press release, the agreement consists of two steps: Build and Build Corp will initially invest $60 million, with a follow-up investment of $140 million based on demand. The funds will be used to directly purchase BNB tokens and hold shares in the Osprey BNB Chain Trust. Windtree CEO Jed Latkin emphasized: "Today marks a pivotal moment for Windtree." In response, Binance founder Zhao Changpeng (CZ) also praised this action on the X platform, calling for more BNB micro strategies. More BNB "micro strategies"… — CZ BNB (@cz_binance) July 16, 2025 Build and Build Corp: A crypto springboard for traditional capital. The facilitators of the deal, Build and Build Corp, were founded by Patrick Horsman, Joshua Kruger, and Johnathan Pasch, who have accumulated over 43 years of experience in hedge funds and digital asset management. An official statement indicated that the company has gathered investors such as Off The Chain Capital, Kraken, Galaxy, and Silvermine, forming a capital pool that spans both traditional and cryptocurrency sectors. Director Patrick Horsman CFA stated: "This innovative solution will provide investors with access to investment opportunities in Binance and BNB, filling a gap in the U.S. market." According to CoinGecko data, BNB currently has a market capitalization of approximately $101.9 billion, making it the fifth largest blockchain token globally, with a daily trading volume of up to $2 billion. At the time of writing, BNB is reported at $700, with a nearly 24-hour rise of 2.5%. What does this mean for traditional investors? StockTitan reported that Windtree's actions have positioned it as a U.S.-regulated "BNB pipeline," allowing institutional investors to access BNB in stock form without the need to set up wallets or deal with custody issues. This model is similar to the MicroStrategy strategy that heavily invests in Bitcoin. CoinCentral analysis suggests that if more companies follow this model to invest in mainstream crypto assets, BNB liquidity and market capitalization may have the opportunity for further enhancement. How is Windtree Therapeutics' stock performing? According to Google Finance data, Windtree Therapeutics' stock price has not seen significant growth following this news; as of July 16, Taiwan time, during U.S. stock trading, the stock price was reported at $0.79, down 4.62% intraday. Additionally, it is worth mentioning that the company's total market capitalization is only $2.83 million.
