Binance Moves Another 1,315 BTC Into SAFU as $1 Billion Shift Advances

Binance frames a bitcoin-based reserve as faster to settle, promising top-ups if the fund dips below $800 million.

Overview

  • An additional 1,315 BTC was transferred to Binance’s SAFU reserve, bringing the total to 2,630 BTC valued at just over $201 million.
  • The transfers are part of a 30‑day plan to convert $1 billion of SAFU assets from stablecoins into bitcoin.
  • Binance has pledged to maintain the reserve at roughly $1 billion, with automatic replenishment if its value falls below $800 million.
  • Arkham Intelligence data cited in coverage shows the latest 1,315 BTC batch, as crypto markets saw heightened volatility and liquidations.
