CEA Industries ($BNC) Appoints Financial Media Veteran Jon Najarian as Chief Evangelist

Louisville, CO, Oct. 09, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- CEA Industries Inc. (Nasdaq: BNC) (“BNC” or “the Company”), a growth-oriented company focused on managing the world’s largest corporate treasury of BNB token, today announced the appointment of Jon “Dr. J” Najarian, a renowned options trader, stock & crypto markets analyst, and financial media personality, as Chief Evangelist, effective immediately. Jon spent 16 years as a contributor to a variety of CNBC programs, including The Halftime Report, Fast Money, and Power Lunch, and is a regular commentator on Fox Business, NewsMax, NewsNation and Market Rebellion TV. In this new role, Najarian will be responsible for expanding BNC’s global visibility and investor engagement through thought leadership, media engagement, and strategic ecosystem partnerships. Day to day, will act as a bridge between traditional finance, investors and the digital asset economy, helping shape and communicate BNC’s mission to manage the world’s largest corporate treasury of BNB. A former Chicago Bears linebacker, Najarian has built a distinguished career spanning more than 44 years in the financial markets. Known widely as a pioneer in options trading, and algorithmic trading, he became a member of the Chicago Board Options Exchange (CBOE), New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME), and Chicago Board of Trade (CBOT), and worked as a professional floor trader for over two decades. Over the past two decades, Najarian has equally earned a reputation as an industry thought leader and innovator, developing patented trading applications and algorithms to identify unusual activity across stock, options, and futures markets. He spent 16 years as a contributor to CNBC’s Fast Money, Halftime Report, and Power Lunch, and is now a regular commentator on Fox Business and Market Rebellion TV. He is widely cited by leading financial media including The Wall Street Journal, Barron’s, Reuters, and Bloomberg. Jon is a noted, long time advocate for the role of digital assets in an investment portfolio. “Jon brings unmatched experience in traditional and digital markets, and a unique ability to communicate complex ideas to a broad audience,” said David Namdar, Chief Executive Officer of CEA Industries ($BNC). “As Chief Evangelist, he will play a critical role in expanding our visibility and engagement across global markets as we continue to build the world’s largest BNB treasury.” “I’m delighted to join CEA Industries at this exciting stage,” said Jon Najarian. “Already standing as the world’s largest corporate BNB Treasury, I’m impressed by their commitment to bridge traditional finance with the digital asset ecosystem – all underpinned by this remarkable underlying asset: BNB, which has rapidly grown to become one of the world’s largest tokens by market cap. BNB is bigger than Solana, and recently passed Tether and XRP to become the third largest cryptocurrency by market cap today. BNB is now up there with Bitcoin and Ethereum. Similar to what Strategy Inc. did for BTC and Bitmine Immersion Technologies, Inc. did for ETH, I believe BNC is one of the easiest ways for investors to access the growth of BNB, the most exciting asset in the digital assets ecosystem. This role and opportunity at BNC aligns perfectly with my own belief that education, access, and transparency are the keys to broader BNB adoption.” In 1990, Najarian founded Mercury Trading, a market-making firm on the CBOE, which he sold to Citadel in 2004. He also sold a high frequency trading system to Goldman Sachs in 1997. In 2005, he co-founded optionMONSTER and tradeMONSTER, groundbreaking platforms that combined options education, analytics, and brokerage services. In 2014 tradeMONSTER partnered with private equity firm General Atlantic Partners and they sold the firm in a landmark deal to E*Trade for $750 million in September of 2016. Today, Najarian serves as Co-Founder of Market Rebellion, a leading financial education and trading platform that he launched with his brother, Pete Najarian, in 2016. The company empowers individual investors through trading education, research, and proprietary analysis. Jon and Pete also co-manage Rebellion Partners, a venture consulting firm that invests in start-ups and early-stage ventures. Najarian’s appointment reinforces BNC’s commitment to leadership excellence, transparency, and education as it scales its digital asset treasury operations and targets 1% of global BNB supply by the end of 2025.
