BNB Network Company (BNC) was previously VAPE, a company focused on climate-controlled agriculture and e-cigarettes. In 2025, it executed a full pivot with a roughly $500 million PIPE led by YZi Labs, repositioning itself as the world’s largest publicly listed BNB treasury and rebranding as BNB Network Company ($BNC). CZ backed the deal to create a compliant, transparent and auditable public-market route for traditional investors to access BNB, akin to Strategy’s role for bitcoin. After months of governance disputes, the sides have now reached a cooperation agreement that strengthens the board, resets governance and refocuses the company on long-term support for BNB and its ecosystem while aligning shareholder interests.
