Tierney’s Appointment Highlights Commitment to Regulatory Oversight
CEA Industries (NASDAQ:BNC), operator of the world’s largest corporate treasury of Binance Coin (BNB), has appointed Annemarie Tierney—a renowned leader in digital asset policy and governance—to its Board of Directors, effective November 26, 2025. This strategic move comes as BNC positions itself for a new phase of institutional-grade expansion, emphasizing transparency, risk management, and regulatory best practices.
Tierney’s background spans leadership roles at firms like Nasdaq Private Market, SecondMarket (now Digital Currency Group), Templum, and the U.S. SEC, with deep expertise in U.S. securities law, digital asset regulation, and public company compliance. She’s also held executive roles structuring public trading vehicles for digital assets and is currently Principal at Liquid Advisors—a consulting firm for the digital asset industry.
Board Composition Points to Robust Governance and Diverse Market Experience
The current BNC board features seasoned leaders in public markets, governance, investment, and digital-asset infrastructure. The full roster now includes:

According to CEO David Namdar, the addition of Tierney provides “globally recognized leadership in regulation and governance” and signals BNC’s determination to build out the compliance and governance structures expected by regulators and institutional stakeholders alike.
Focus Shifts to Transparency and Institutional Trust as BNB Treasury Expands
BNC’s stated mission is to maintain and grow the world’s largest corporate BNB treasury—providing investors with institutional-grade access to BNB as an asset. As interest in digital assets among institutional players grows, the importance of clear regulatory alignment and governance only increases. Tierney’s track record at organizations like SecondMarket (where she led efforts for the Grayscale Bitcoin Investment Trust) and service on multiple regulatory committees underscore this alignment.
Tierney herself remarked that BNC’s governance model is being crafted “to align with the expectations of regulators, institutional investors, and public-company stakeholders,” and emphasized the company’s commitment to strong regulatory compliance and strategic growth.
Takeaway: Leadership, Compliance, and Strategic Growth Are Now in Sharper Focus
BNC’s expansion of its board with high-profile regulatory expertise may help the company further its role as a trusted and strategically positioned player in the digital asset treasury sector. As the competitive landscape intensifies and regulatory scrutiny mounts, BNC’s focus on experienced governance and risk oversight could be key to unlocking further institutional participation and shareholder value in the evolving BNB ecosystem.
For investors and stakeholders, this development signals that BNC is actively positioning itself not just for scale, but for lasting credibility and growth—backed by leadership deeply versed in both compliance and market strategy.
