Total Operating Expenses Reduced Approximately 37% Sequentially in the Second Quarter 2026 from the First Quarter 2026, Reflecting Continued Cost Alignment
BERA Holdings of Approximately 81.3 Million Units at Quarter-End; BERA-per-Share Increased Approximately 37% from Year-End, While the Fair Value of BERA Holdings Declined During the Quarter

BOCA RATON, Fla., Aug. 14, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Greenlane Holdings, Inc. ("Greenlane" or the "Company") (NASDAQ:GNLN), a publicly traded company with a digital asset treasury strategy focused on the acquisition, management, and strategic deployment of BERA, the native token of the Berachain blockchain network, today reported its financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2026 ("second quarter 2026").

Digital Asset Treasury Strategy

In October 2025, the Company adopted a digital asset treasury strategy (the "BERA Strategy") focused on the acquisition, management, and strategic deployment of BERA, the native token of the Berachain blockchain network, following the closing of a $110.7 million private placement transaction (the "October 2025 private placement"). The Company’s treasury policy is overseen by the Board’s Digital Asset Committee, and capital deployment under the BERA Strategy is governed by a disciplined approach aimed at increasing long-term BERA-per-share. Additional information regarding the BERA Strategy and its component activities is set forth in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K and Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC").

During the second quarter 2026, Greenlane deployed approximately $1.2 million into BERA and BERA-equivalent digital assets and approximately $4.1 million into stablecoin-related protocol instruments. As of June 30, 2026, the Company held approximately 81.3 million units of BERA (inclusive of BERA-equivalent tokens) at a cost basis of approximately $70.2 million and a fair value of approximately $16.4 million, compared to approximately 77.7 million units of BERA at March 31, 2026 and approximately 51.7 million units of BERA at December 31, 2025. BERA-per-share was approximately 117 units of BERA per Class A share at June 30, 2026, compared to approximately 86 units of BERA per Class A share at December 31, 2025, an increase of approximately 37%¹. BERA-per-share reflects the number of BERA and BERA-equivalent units held per outstanding share of Class A common stock and is not a measure of financial performance or of the fair value of the Company’s holdings. BERA-per-share does not reflect changes in the market price of BERA, and the fair value of the Company’s BERA holdings declined during the second quarter 2026, as reflected in the accompanying financial statements. The Company also recognized approximately $0.3 million of staking and yield revenue, consisting of staking revenue from participation in Berachain’s Proof of Liquidity ("PoL") consensus mechanism and yield earned on the Company’s stablecoin-related protocol instruments, during the quarter.

During the second quarter 2026, the Company continued to execute token purchase and lending arrangements with Berachain Operations Corporation to facilitate BERA acquisition activity. As of June 30, 2026, the maximum amount available under the lending arrangement was $5.0 million. Additional information regarding these arrangements is included in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Management Commentary

"In the second quarter of 2026, we reduced total operating expenses by approximately 37% sequentially from the first quarter 2026 as we continued to align our cost base with the scale of our business. At the same time, we advanced our BERA Strategy, growing our holdings to approximately 81.3 million units of BERA at quarter-end and increasing BERA-per-share by approximately 37% from year-end, even as the fair value of our BERA holdings declined during the quarter, reflecting lower BERA market prices. We remain focused on the disciplined execution of our BERA Strategy, prudent management of our liquidity, and continued cost discipline."

Jason Hitchcock, Chief Executive Officer

Second Quarter 2026 Financial Highlights

*(in thousands)*	Q2 2026			Change vs. Q2 2025
Net revenue	$	82		(90	)%
Staking and yield revenue	$	309		N/A
Gross profit	$	32		NM

Total operating expenses declined approximately 37% sequentially to $3.6 million in the second quarter 2026, from $5.8 million in the first quarter 2026, reflecting continued alignment of the Company’s operations with the scale of its business. The sequential reduction was driven primarily by an approximately $0.7 million (approximately 49%) decline in salaries, benefits and payroll taxes, reflecting reduced legacy headcount. On a year-over-year basis, total operating expenses increased from approximately $3.3 million in the second quarter 2025, primarily reflecting costs associated with the Company’s newly established Digital Asset Segment, which did not exist in the prior-year period.

Net revenue for the second quarter 2026 was approximately $0.1 million, compared to approximately $0.8 million in the second quarter 2025, and consisted entirely of legacy wholesale and distribution sales. In addition, the Company recognized approximately $0.3 million of staking and yield revenue from the Digital Asset Segment, which is presented separately below gross profit (loss) in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. The year-over-year decrease in net revenue was primarily attributable to the transition of the legacy business to a lower-scale, asset-light operating model, including lower sales volume and the exit of leased facilities.

Loss from operations was $(3.3) million, compared to $(3.3) million in the second quarter 2025, but narrowed from $(5.6) million in the first quarter 2026 as the Company continued to reduce its operating cost base. General and administrative expenses for the quarter also reflected costs associated with the newly established Digital Asset Segment. The Company also recognized a non-cash change in fair value of digital assets of $(19.1) million and an impairment of investments of $(1.8) million during the second quarter 2026, primarily driven by market fluctuations in the price of BERA and a reduction in the carrying value of a legacy equity investment. Net loss attributable to Greenlane Holdings, Inc. was $(24.8) million, compared to $(3.2) million in the prior year period.

For the six months ended June 30, 2026, net revenue was approximately $0.1 million, compared to approximately $2.3 million in the prior year period, and the Company recognized approximately $0.7 million of staking and yield revenue from its Digital Asset Segment. Loss from operations was $(8.9) million, compared to $(6.7) million in the prior year period, reflecting costs associated with the newly established Digital Asset Segment and elevated legal, professional and advisory costs, partially offset by lower legacy operating costs. The Company also recognized a non-cash change in fair value of digital assets of $(32.0) million and an impairment of investments of $(1.8) million for the six-month period, primarily driven by market fluctuations in the price of BERA and a reduction in the carrying value of a legacy equity investment. Net loss attributable to Greenlane Holdings, Inc. was $(43.2) million, compared to $(7.1) million in the prior year period.

The Company’s selected unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are included as exhibits to this press release and should be read together with the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2026.

Subsequent Events

Subsequent to June 30, 2026, the Company had the following developments:

Nasdaq Market Value of Listed Securities Requirement

On July 22, 2026, the staff of the SEC, acting pursuant to delegated authority, approved an amendment to the Nasdaq listing standards that would establish a minimum market value of listed securities requirement of $5.0 million for continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market. Petitions seeking Commission review of the approval order were subsequently filed, and on July 29, 2026, the approval order was stayed pending review by the Commission. As a result, the ultimate effectiveness and timing of the amended rule remain subject to Commission review. Absent the stay, the Company’s current market value of listed securities would be below the $5.0 million threshold under the amended rule. The amended rule, as approved, does not provide a compliance or cure period. As of the date of this press release, the Company has not received a deficiency notice or Staff Delisting Determination from the Nasdaq staff. The Company is monitoring its market value of listed securities, the status of the Commission’s review, and communications from the Nasdaq staff, and is evaluating alternatives to increase its market value of listed securities. Additional information is included in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2026.

¹BERA-per-share is calculated by dividing the Company’s total holdings of BERA and BERA-equivalent units as of the applicable date by the number of shares of Class A common stock issued and outstanding as of such date. BERA-per-share does not give effect to shares of Class A common stock issuable upon the exercise of outstanding pre-funded warrants or other convertible securities.
