CRB Monitor | Weekly Update | June 15 - June 21, 2024

##### Published on June 26, 2024

### CRB Monitor Database: Charting Growth

#### Cannabis business licenses fell by 324 this week, with drops in all three categories. However, Tier 1A cannabis-related businesses grew by 65, and Tier 1B added 10 businesses. Beneficial owners increased by 75.

#### Tier 1 Cannabis-Related Business Counts

Weekly Summary: 82,270 1A CRBs + 4,026 1B CRBs = 86,296 total

### 1A CRBs

*![1A CRB-062424](https://www.crbmonitor.com/hs-fs/hubfs/1A%20CRB-062424.png?width=468&height=281&name=1A%20CRB-062424.png)  
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 

*![1B CRB-062424](https://www.crbmonitor.com/hs-fs/hubfs/1B%20CRB-062424.png?width=468&height=280&name=1B%20CRB-062424.png)  
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

*![CBL-062424](https://www.crbmonitor.com/hs-fs/hubfs/CBL-062424.png?width=468&height=305&name=CBL-062424.png)
