Binance just executed an additional purchase of 4,545 BTC (worth approximately 304.58 million USD) a few hours ago, bringing the total holdings of the SAFU fund to 15,000 BTC, equivalent to about 1.005 billion USD (at the current BTC price).
This move completes the plan announced on 30/01/2026: to transfer the entire 1 billion USD reserve of stablecoins in the user protection fund (SAFU) to Bitcoin within 30 days.
In fact, Binance has completed it in just 10 days with gradual purchases on the dip:
🔸First batch: ~1.315 BTC (~100M USD)
🔸Next: 3.600 BTC (~250M USD)
🔸4.225 BTC (~300M USD)
🔸And the final batch: 4.545 BTC (~304.58M USD) at a lower average price (~66,000–67,000 USD/BTC).
Clear long-term strategy:
🔸Reduce risks from stablecoin issuers.
🔸Enhance the value of the reserve fund with top “digital gold” assets.
🔸Commitment to automatic rebalance: If the value of the SAFU fund drops below 800 million USD due to BTC price fluctuations, Binance will add from company resources to maintain a level of ~1 billion USD.
With this holdings, Binance's SAFU Fund is currently among the top 10 largest BTC holders in the world, surpassing even some major organizations like Coinbase at certain times – a strong signal of long-term confidence in Bitcoin from the leading exchange.
Significance for the market:
🔸Create a hidden “buy wall” to support BTC prices during volatility.
🔸Increase user trust: The protection fund is now backed by BTC instead of just stablecoins.
🔸This is a strategic move, affirming leadership position and commitment to user protection in the long term.
What do you think about this move? Will Binance continue to rebalance if BTC adjusts deeper? Or is this a positive sign for the upcoming bull cycle?
