A Crypto Treasury Went From $70M to $16M in One Quarter — Here's What Happened to Greenlane's BERA Holdings

WHY IT MATTERS

Imagine a small company that kept all of its savings in a single stock instead of spreading it across a bank account, bonds, and different investments. If that one stock crashes, the company could struggle to pay its bills. That's essentially what happened here. Greenlane kept most of its money in one cryptocurrency called BERA, and when BERA's price dropped sharply, their savings shrank by more than three-quarters. A 'treasury' in crypto is like a project's savings account — it's the money they use to fund development, pay team members, and grow. This story is a reminder that even in crypto, diversification — not putting all your eggs in one basket — is a fundamental principle of sound financial management.
