## Hashing Out the Truth
CRB Monitor’s database growth by the numbers.
### Tier 1 Marijuana-Related Business Counts
Weekly Summary (June 10 - June 16, 2023):
72,388 1A MRBs + 3,689 1B MRBs = 76,077 total
### 1A MRBs
*
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 MRBs
*
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. *
### Marijuana 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.
