🚨 JUST IN: Binance locks $1B SAFU Fund into Bitcoin — 15,000 BTC secured
Binance has completed the final tranche of its SAFU transition, purchasing 4,545 $BTC and bringing the total reserve to 15,000 BTC (~$1B+). This move shifts the protection fund from stablecoins to Bitcoin, signaling long-term confidence in BTC as a treasury asset.
While stablecoins offered price stability, a Bitcoin-backed SAFU introduces market exposure — but also growth potential. If BTC rises, the fund grows without additional capital. If it drops, the value fluctuates. It’s a calculated shift from stability to conviction.
This decision highlights a broader trend: major crypto institutions are not only trading Bitcoin — they’re holding it as reserve value. The narrative is evolving from emergency fund stability to Bitcoin-anchored security.
A bold move that reinforces BTC’s role as digital reserve gold.
