Greenlane Holdings, the Nasdaq-listed company that pivoted from cannabis accessories to a crypto-focused treasury, disclosed in a regulatory filing that its BERA token holdings ended the second quarter at just $16.4 million — a steep drop from the $70 million it originally paid for the assets.
As of June 30, the company held 81.3 million BERA and BERA-equivalent tokens. The gap between their cost basis and fair value widened to $53.8 million, leaving the portfolio 76.6% below cost, according to the filing released Friday.

Q2 Losses and Staking Revenue
Greenlane recorded a $19.1 million noncash fair-value loss on its digital assets during the quarter, a major contributor to its overall net loss of $24.8 million. The company’s digital asset segment generated just $309,000 in staking and yield revenue over the same period — a fraction of the losses incurred.
The company adopted BERA as its primary treasury reserve asset in October 2025, following a $110.7 million private placement. Despite the declining valuation, Greenlane increased its holdings from 77.7 million BERA and equivalent tokens at the end of March, indicating a continued commitment to its crypto treasury strategy.

Market Context: BERA’s Steep Decline
BERA has fallen 75.9% year to date and was trading at approximately $0.146 at the time of writing, according to CoinGecko. The token briefly traded above $1.20 earlier this year before entering a sustained downtrend toward the $0.15 range.
The sharp decline reflects broader challenges facing smaller-cap altcoins, which have struggled to maintain momentum amid shifting market conditions. Greenlane’s experience underscores the volatility and risk inherent in corporate treasuries that concentrate holdings in a single cryptocurrency.
Why This Matters
Greenlane’s situation serves as a cautionary example for companies considering crypto as a treasury reserve asset. While the potential for high yields exists, the downside can be severe — as evidenced by the $53.8 million unrealized loss. The company’s ability to continue funding operations and meet obligations could be affected if BERA’s price remains depressed.
This filing also adds to a growing list of crypto treasury firms facing significant mark-to-market losses, raising questions about the sustainability of such strategies in a volatile market.
Conclusion
Greenlane’s Q2 report highlights the stark reality of crypto treasury management: high risk, high volatility, and the potential for substantial losses. The company’s decision to increase its BERA holdings despite the price drop suggests a long-term conviction, but the financial impact is undeniable. Investors and industry observers will be watching closely to see how Greenlane navigates the ongoing downturn.
