AboutGreenlane
Greenlane is a global platform for the development and distribution of premium lifestyle accessories and consumer products through a broad network of specialty and convenience retailers and direct-to-consumer channels. Alongside its operating business, in October 2025, the Company initiated a Berachain-focused digital asset treasury strategy dedicated to acquiring BERA and increasing BERA-per-share through treasury management. The Company is a Berachain ecosystem participant focused on supporting the development and operation of blockchain-based infrastructure, including assets and applications built on Berachain. The Company engages in network staking, validator participation, liquidity provisioning, and strategic initiatives intended to contribute to the long-term sustainability of decentralized protocols within its portfolio.
AboutBerachain
Berachain (BERA) is the first blockchain powered by Proof of Liquidity, an extension of Proof of Stake that aligns network security with ecosystem liquidity. Rather than locking tokens in isolation, Berachain’s PoL mechanism incentivizes users to provide liquidity to decentralized finance applications and stake receipt tokens in Reward Vaults to earn BGT, a non-transferable governance token. Validators direct BGT emissions to Reward Vaults based on protocol incentives, creating a market-driven flywheel that rewards liquidity providers, validators, and stakers in concert. The network operates with three native tokens—BERA (gas and staking), BGT (governance and rewards), and HONEY (native stablecoin)—designed to support sustainable on-chain economies. Berachain reports that it has raised $150 million from leading digital asset investors including Brevan Howard, Framework Ventures, Polychain Capital, Samsung Next, Laser Digital by Nomura, Goldentree Asset Management, SBI VC Trade and more.
