Byrna Celebrates 5-Year NASDAQ Anniversary and Milestone Growth in Non-Lethal Personal Safety

Byrna Technologies marked a major milestone with the celebration of its five-year anniversary as a publicly listed company on the NASDAQ. Since joining the exchange half a decade ago, Byrna has emerged as a leading innovator in the personal safety space, redefining self-defense through effective, non-lethal solutions designed to protect lives.

When Byrna first listed on NASDAQ, the company was in its early stages, having just introduced its groundbreaking Byrna HD personal safety launcher. At the time, annual sales totaled less than $1 million, and only a few thousand devices had reached customers. The market for non-lethal personal security tools was still largely unproven, and the future of the category remained uncertain.

Five years later, Byrna’s growth has exceeded expectations. The company has now sold more than 750,000 personal safety devices worldwide, with fiscal year 2025 revenue reaching approximately $118 million. This rapid expansion reflects increasing demand for alternatives to lethal force and a growing awareness of non-lethal self-defense options among consumers and law enforcement agencies alike.

Under the leadership of CEO Bryan Ganz, Byrna has expanded its product lineup, enhanced its technology, and significantly broadened its distribution channels and geographic reach. The company’s devices have been used thousands of times to stop home invasions, prevent muggings, and deter carjackings. Law enforcement agencies around the world have also adopted Byrna’s solutions to apprehend suspects—all without a single reported loss of life.

These outcomes underscore Byrna’s core mission: empowering individuals and communities to protect themselves without resorting to deadly force. Over the past five years, the company has helped legitimize and popularize the less-lethal category, proving that personal safety and responsible defense can coexist.

The anniversary celebration included recognition from NASDAQ representatives, who commended Byrna’s innovation, growth, and impact on public safety. The partnership highlights the company’s evolution from a startup with a bold idea into a globally recognized leader in non-lethal defense technology.

As Byrna looks ahead, the focus remains on continued innovation, expanding access to less-lethal protection, and further establishing non-lethal self-defense as a mainstream solution. With strong momentum and a clear mission, the next five years are poised to be just as transformative as the first.
