24h Move is the share-price change in the day after each event; other market factors may also have contributed.
Recent negative corporate events (earnings, reverse split) have been followed by sharp selloffs, while operational BERA updates have not consistently lifted the stock.
Over the last several months, Greenlane has pivoted toward a Berachain-focused digital asset treasury, highlighted in its 10-K and subsequent updates detailing BERA accumulation and validator deployment. Earnings on Mar 31, 2026 showed steep revenue declines and large losses, coinciding with a -21.62% move. The company has also executed and approved multiple reverse stock splits, including a 1-for-8 action effective Apr 6, 2026, which likewise saw a -21.62% reaction. Leadership changes and treasury updates around BERA have produced more muted price responses. Today’s buyback and treasury update arrive against this backdrop of restructuring, volatility, and a concentrated BERA strategy.

Company Reports 77.9 Million BERA Holdings Representing
BOCA RATON, Fla., April 09, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Greenlane Holdings, Inc. (“Greenlane” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: GNLN), a publicly traded digital asset treasury company with a strategic focus on BERA, the native digital asset of the Berachain blockchain network, today provided an update on its BERA treasury holdings and announced that its Board of Directors (the "Board") has authorized a

| Metric | Value | Detail |
| Total BERA Holdings | 77.9 million units | As of April 7, 2026 |
| % of Circulating Supply | Per CoinMarketCap2 | |
| Validator Deployment | 50.0 million units | Across multiple operators3 |
| BERA Purchased | ~7.5 million units | February 27 – April 7, 2026 |
| Cumulative Protocol Rewards | 1.46 million units | Since inception (October 2025) |
- Validator Deployment: Deployment has been structured across multiple operators, including the Company’s BeraStrategy validator, and is intended to align with Berachain’s protocol-level decentralization constraints3. Units deployed in validator infrastructure are subject to protocol-defined unbonding periods that limit near-term liquidity.
- Staking Activity: The Company has sought to stake substantially all of its liquid on-chain holdings of BERA through Proof of Liquidity (“PoL”) staking and validator participation4.
- Protocol Participation: Protocol rewards are determined by network-level parameters, including PoL reward rates and validator commission structures, and are subject to change outside the Company’s control. The Company does not characterize these protocol rewards as revenue, and investors should not view historical reward rates as indicative of future results.
Why Berachain: A Differentiated Layer 1 Blockchain Built for Sustainable Revenue
In a market crowded with hundreds of speculative Layer 1 (L1) protocols, Greenlane believes Berachain represents a rare combination of technical differentiation, demonstrated revenue generation, and early proof of product-market fit.
Berachain is a Layer 1 blockchain that has been designed to address a structural limitation in how existing Proof of Stake (PoS) chains allocate capital. Rather than directing network inflation toward validators performing an increasingly commoditized security function, Berachain's Proof of Liquidity (PoL) mechanism redirects that same budget toward the applications driving actual network demand. It is the only L1 architecturally designed to convert operating costs into a revenue-generating engine, capturing 60 to 80 cents on every dollar emitted and returning it to the network. Berachain has returned cumulative revenue of approximately
Greenlane is the only publicly traded, regulated equity vehicle purpose-built to accumulate BERA, the native token of Berachain, and actively participates in Berachain's Proof of Liquidity economy. The Company aims to generate double-digit annualized yield while increasing its per-share token position through active network participation.
Management Commentary
“Our conviction in Berachain continues to deepen. We are seeing real businesses with meaningful revenue leveraging its Proof of Liquidity mechanism to share value directly with token holders and tokenize real-world revenue streams on the network. We believe this differentiated economic model has the potential to drive significant adoption over time.
As the only publicly traded vehicle providing exposure to the Berachain ecosystem, with a strong balance sheet and growing treasury of BERA, we believe now represents a compelling entry point for investors. The share repurchase program we're announcing today reflects our conviction in the underlying asset value and our commitment to enhancing shareholder value.”
Jason Hitchcock, Chief Executive Officer
Share Repurchase Program
The Repurchase Program follows the Company's recently approved reverse stock split and represents an additional step the Board is taking to support trading liquidity and enhance shareholder value.
Under the Repurchase Program, the Board has authorized the Company to repurchase up to
The Repurchase Program does not obligate the Company to repurchase any specific number of shares. The timing, manner, price, and amount of any repurchases will be determined at the Company's discretion based on a variety of factors, including the market price of the Company's common stock, general market and economic conditions, the Company's liquidity requirements, applicable legal requirements, and other factors the Board deems relevant.
The Company may enter into one or more plans under Rule 10b5-1 of the Exchange Act to facilitate repurchases. The Repurchase Program has no fixed expiration date and may be modified, suspended, or terminated by the Board at any time without prior notice.

Investors are encouraged to review the reported figures and draw their own conclusions.

1 Total BERA holding as of April 7 is comprised of (i) initial BERA holding of 54.2 million units of BERA, per Greenlane press release dated October 24, 2025, (ii) cumulative open-market purchases of approximately 22.4 million units of BERA, (iii) BERA earned from staking and validator participation, and (iv) BERA acquired through structured token trading agreements.
2 “Circulating supply” as reported by CoinMarketCap (coinmarketcap.com) as of April 7, 2026. Circulating supply is not a standardized metric and may vary across data providers. The total supply of BERA is approximately 535.8 million units, of which a significant portion remains subject to vesting or lock-up schedules. The Company’s percentage of circulating supply will fluctuate as additional units of BERA enter circulation through scheduled unlocks, validator emissions, and other protocol mechanisms. A material portion of the Company’s BERA holdings are deployed in validator infrastructure and are subject to protocol-defined unbonding periods, which limit the near-term liquidity of such units. The Company does not control or seek to influence the market price of BERA.
3 Validator deployment figures are based on publicly available on-chain data as reported on the Berachain network explorer (berascan.com) and/or BeraHub (hub.berachain.com) as of April 7, 2026. On-chain data is independently verifiable and is not sourced from the Company’s internal records. Validator stake amounts may fluctuate due to protocol rewards, additional delegations, unbonding activity, or slashing events.
4 Prevailing network conditions include, but may not be limited to, protocol parameter changes, reward schedule adjustments, validator set changes and market volatility.
