A drop below $800 is seen as a breach of psychological support, raising questions for corporate treasuries that hold exchange tokens as part of their digital asset strategy.

The dip came after BNB hit a record high near $860 as several public companies revealed aggressive moves into the token.

CEA Industries (VAPE), backed by Binance co-founder Changpeng Zhao’s family office, Yzi Labs, said it aims to raise $500 million, with a possible extension to $1.2 billion, to build what it calls the largest U.S.-listed BNB treasury. Its stock surged over 700% following the announcement.

Other firms are also jumping in. Biopharma company Liminatus Pharma (LIMN) launched a subsidiary focused on BNB investments with a $500 million target, while Windtree Therapeutics (WINT) unveiled a $700 million BNB acquisition plan last week.

Separately, Nano Labs said it had already bought 128,000 BNB shortly after revealing new crypto treasury goals.

Volume patterns during the session, especially near the $815.40 resistance, point to active rebalancing and a lack of sustained demand. While a late-session bounce suggests pockets of confidence, the broader market structure remains fragile.
