SAFU Fund Adds 4,225 BTC â Total Holdings Reach 10,455 Bitcoin
Binance has taken another major step to enhance user security by adding 4,225 Bitcoin (BTC) to its Secure Asset Fund for Users (SAFU).
This latest purchase, valued at nearly $300 million, brings the fundâs total Bitcoin holdings to 10,455 BTC, worth approximately $741 million at current market prices.
The update was officially announced on February 9, 2026, through Binanceâs X (Twitter) account.
đĄïž What Is the SAFU Fund?
The SAFU Fund was launched in July 2018 as an emergency protection reserve designed to safeguard users in case of hacks, system failures, or unexpected incidents.
Key highlights:
âïž 10% of Binance trading fees are allocated to SAFU
âïž In 2019, users were fully reimbursed after a major security breach
âïž Fund addresses are publicly visible on the blockchain
This transparency has helped build strong trust within the crypto community.
âż Strategic Shift Toward Bitcoin
On January 30, 2026, Binance announced plans to convert nearly $1 billion of SAFU assets from stablecoins into Bitcoin over 30 days.
Reasons behind this move:
đč Long-term value of Bitcoin
đč High liquidity
đč On-chain transparency
đč Reduced reliance on stablecoins
To manage volatility, Binance introduced a rebalancing system. If the fundâs value drops below $800 million, additional BTC is purchased to restore balance.
