CRB Monitor | Weekly Update | October 18 - October 24, 2025
##### Published on October 29, 2025
### CRB Monitor Database: Charting Growth
#### There wasn't much movement in cannabis business licensing the week of Oct. 18. Tier 1A cannabis-related business records increased by 58, while total licensing dropped by 54. Beneficial owner records added 93.
#### Tier 1 Cannabis-Related Business Counts
Weekly Summary: 93,943 1A CRBs + 5,048 1B CRBs = 98,991 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.
