LA PALMA, Calif., July 28, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Liminatus Pharma, Inc. (NASDAQ: LIMN), a preclinical-stage biopharmaceutical company dedicated to the development of targeted cancer immunotherapies, today announced plans for a strategic expansion into the cryptocurrency and blockchain sector.

The company intends to establish a dedicated subsidiary, named “American BNB Strategy,” to lead its digital asset investment and management initiatives. Through this planned vehicle, Liminatus aims to raise and deploy up to $500 million in phases, targeting strategic, long-term investments in BNB coin (Build and Build) the native token of the Binance ecosystem, the world’s largest digital asset exchange.

This announcement follows an internal review of blockchain-integrated financial strategies conducted over the past several weeks.

Liminatus emphasized that while it remains fully committed to its core business — advancing cancer therapeutics and developing pancreatic cancer diagnostics — the company believes that expanding into the digital asset space is a necessary step to support long-term growth and enhance shareholder value.

The proposed subsidiary, “American BNB Strategy,” is expected to focus on the strategic and structured acquisition and long-term holding of BNB Coin, utilizing capital raised through the planned fund. The company clarified that this is not a short-term speculative initiative, but rather a value driven strategy based on the long-term growth potential and strength of the BNB ecosystem.

Chris Kim, CEO of Liminatus, stated that BNB Coin was selected over numerous digital assets due to its robust technology, global user base, value generating features such as Launchpool participation and staking models, and the ongoing expansion of the BNB Chain.

He added that Liminatus expects to utilize custody infrastructure provided by Ceffu, an affiliated entity within the BNB ecosystem, to ensure institutional grade security and operational integrity. The company believes this approach will enable a secure and compliant entry into the digital asset sector and support its long-term capital strategy.

Establishing a dedicated subsidiary for large-scale cryptocurrency investment and designating a specific blockchain token as a core treasury asset is a rare move for a traditional biopharmaceutical company. Liminatus believes this bold initiative could set a precedent for how other Nasdaq listed companies approach participation in the digital asset economy.

As of the date of this announcement, Liminatus is actively engaged in a capital raise process in collaboration with placement agent Digital Offering, and the Board is in the process of finalizing its review and approval. The initiative remains subject to regulatory clearance and prevailing market conditions.
