Boca Raton, Florida, March 3, 2026 – PRISM MediaWire (Press Release Service – Press Release Distribution) – Greenlane Holdings, Inc. (“Greenlane” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: GNLN), a company with a Berachain-focused Digital Asset Treasury (“DAT”), is providing an update on its holdings of units of BERA and deployment activity.
Digital Asset Treasury Holdings Update
As of February 27, 2026, the Company held approximately 70.4 million units of BERA1. Since the Company’s last treasury update on December 8, 2025, the following developments have occurred:
BERA Purchases: Between December 4, 2025 and February 27, 2026, the Company acquired approximately 9 million units of BERA at prices ranging from approximately $0.40 to $0.93 per unit of BERA.
Validator Deployment: In January 2026, the Company announced plans to deploy up to 50 million units of BERA into validator infrastructure on the Berachain network comprising approximately 20 million units of BERA across two independently operated validators (announced January 20, 2026) and up to 30 million units of BERA through a partnership with Infrared Finance (announced January 26, 2026). Validator deployment has been structured across multiple operators and is intended to align with Berachain’s protocol-level decentralization constraints. As of February 27, 2026, the Company had deployed approximately 50 million units of BERA into validator infrastructure.
Staking Activity: The Company has sought to stake substantially all of its liquid on-chain holdings of BERA, including units held directly or managed pursuant to structured agreements, through Proof of Liquidity (“PoL”) staking and validator participation. As of February 27, 2026, the publicly reported annualized PoL staking rate on the Berachain network was approximately 25%2, subject to prevailing network conditions3.
Leadership Update
On February 18, 2026, the Company announced the appointment of Jason Hitchcock as Chief Executive Officer. Mr. Hitchcock is a technology executive with over 15 years of experience building and scaling revenue engines across SaaS, blockchain infrastructure, and decentralized finance. He most recently served as Head of Business Development at thirdweb. His mandate is expected to include overseeing corporate strategy, capital allocation, and the continued development of the Company’s DAT initiatives, including seeking to deepen participation within the Berachain ecosystem across validator infrastructure, staking, and liquidity provisioning.
“Since joining Greenlane, my immediate focus has been on the disciplined execution of our Digital Asset Treasury strategy. We have continued to deploy units of BERA into validator infrastructure across the Berachain ecosystem and remain focused on transparent reporting and prudent capital allocation as we seek to build long-term value for shareholders.”

About Greenlane
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.
About Berachain
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.
