MIAMI BEACH, Fla., March 08, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Bang Holdings Corp. (OTCBB:BXNG), a marijuana focused holdings company, is pleased to announce that its shares of common stock have been approved to trade by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) and became DTC eligible on March 3, 2016 under the ticker symbol "BXNG."
“I’m incredibly proud of our team,” stated Bang Holdings CEO Steve Berke. “In the past 20 months, we have completed our entry into capital markets and built two businesses that are poised to disrupt two separate, but synergistic, multi-billion dollar industries.”
Bang Holdings Corp wholly owns two subsidiaries, Bang Digital Media, a cannabis focused digital media company, and Bang Vapor, an e-juice company set to hard launch in the second quarter of this year.
Since launching the digital channel 4TwentyToday across multiple digital platforms in July 2014, Bang Digital Media’s network has grown to reach 659,929 engaged marijuana enthusiasts and generated more than 150 million content views. Further, Bang’s expanded network of marijuana-friendly social influencers reaches a further 10 million potential customers.
“Bang Holdings is committed to responsible and transparent investments within the marijuana industry,” Berke said. “We have gone public through the S-1 process, rather than effecting a reverse merger, so we could provide a greater sense of transparency to our shareholders and the public. And, as a company, we do not directly touch cannabis, which gives our investors a sense of security that we will not be violating any Federal laws.” Berke continued, “We realize that the marijuana gold rush has already begun. So, rather than mining for gold, we prefer to be selling the pickaxes—and in the 21st century, the pickaxes are digital.”
Over the next several months, Bang Holdings will sign-up powerful social influencers to our marketing network. We will continue to expand our network of marijuana enthusiasts via 4TwentyToday and other managed channels, along with launching our first line of BANG branded products.
