CRB Monitor | Weekly Update | July 26 - August 1, 2025
##### Published on August 6, 2025
### CRB Monitor Database: Charting Growth
#### Total Tier 1 cannabis-related business records increased by just 32 the week of July 26, 2025, and beneficial owners jumped by 124. Licensing continued its slide, losing a total 168, but at least an additional 38 approved/pending licenses wait in the wings.
#### Tier 1 Cannabis-Related Business Counts
Weekly Summary: 93,265 1A CRBs + 5,008 1B CRBs = 98,273 total
### 1A CRBs
*
Tier 1A defined: Businesses in this tier literally touch the cannabis plant at some point along the supply chain from "seed to sale," and are generally licensed by a government agency or regulator. Effectively all of their actual or expected revenue is derived from the cultivation, production, testing or sale of cannabis. *
### 1B CRBs
*
Tier 1B defined: Businesses that have a financial or controlling interest in a Tier 1A CRB. CRB Monitor generally considers 1B businesses as seemingly unrelated businesses highlighted as red flags by FinCEN in its marijuana banking guidance and are similar in nature to individual beneficial owners. *
### Cannabis Business Licenses
*
Note: Inactive licenses, unlicensed, and unknown licenses have been excluded.*
### Beneficial Owners Count
*
Beneficial owners defined: For beneficial owners, each economic owner or controlling person is classified into one or more categories based on their relationship to the linked CRB including: (1) Owner/Investor, (2) Board Member, (3) Corporate Officer, (4) Executive, (5) Non-commercial Registered Agent or (6) Senior Manager.
