Windtree Therapeutics Inc., a firm with a significant BNB allocation, will be delisted from Nasdaq on August 21, 2025, due to non-compliance with bid price rules.
The delisting underscores challenges in corporate treasury shifts to crypto, causing Windtree's stock to plummet without impacting broader BNB markets.
Windtree Therapeutics Inc. is being delisted from Nasdaq after failing to meet listing criteria. The company has heavily invested in Binance Coin (BNB), which hasn't prevented its financial challenges. Trading is suspended on August 21, 2025. The delisting, confirmed by CEO Craig Fraser, shifts Windtree's focus to over-the-counter markets. The transition does not affect day-to-day operations but could reduce stock liquidity for investors.
Craig Fraser, President & CEO, Windtree Therapeutics, - "The transition of its common stock to the OTC markets will not impact the company’s business operations. However, the OTC market generally has lower liquidity and less transparency compared to the Nasdaq, which would reduce the ease of buying or selling its stock" - SEC 8-K, August 20, 2025
Financial challenges have persisted despite a $700 million allocation to BNB assets. The company's strategy to revamp its treasury around crypto does not gain the expected institutional support. Stock (WINT) fell 77% to $0.11. While the delisting affects Windtree directly, BNB prices have surged to highs above $880. This suggests market perception of the issue as company-specific rather than systemic within crypto sectors.
No significant regulatory actions or new policy changes emerged from the event. The situation remains under standard SEC and Nasdaq compliance measures. Experts note past precedents where companies failed in crypto pivots due to unchanged fundamentals. Meanwhile, no major on-chain data shifts for BNB arise, indicating primarily internal company impacts.
