How a public firm’s $70 million altcoin bet crashed 77% and left it facing Nasdaq delisting

Greenlane Holdings is a Nasdaq-listed company holding about 81.3 million BERA and BERA-equivalent units. Its token treasury ended the second quarter valued at about 77% below cost. A stayed Nasdaq rule could eventually expose the company to a $5 million listing test with no ordinary cure period.

At June 30, the treasury's $70.2 million cost basis compared with $16.4 million of fair value, according to Greenlane's quarterly filing. The 76.6% gap was a mark-to-market shortfall, not a realized loss from selling the tokens.

CryptoSlate Berachain market data puts the price at roughly $0.142. At that price, the same 81.3 million units would be worth about $11.6 million. That estimate is illustrative, not a company-reported current value. It assumes the holding was unchanged after quarter-end and that all BERA-equivalent positions value one-for-one.
