Binance Moves 1,315 BTC into SAFU Fund as Part of $1B Rebalance
On Feb. 2, Binance transferred roughly 1,315 Bitcoin — about $100 million — into its Secure Asset Fund for Users (SAFU), an internal reclassification that begins a planned shift of the $1 billion fund toward BTC.
On Feb. 2, on-chain data and exchange disclosures show Binance moved roughly 1,315 BTC into its Secure Asset Fund for Users (SAFU), a holding worth about $100 million at the time of the transfer [4][5][3][1].
The transaction originated from a Binance-labeled hot wallet and went to a known SAFU address, with reports indicating no interaction with external wallets — suggesting an internal reclassification of reserves rather than an external market purchase [4][5].
The move is the first concrete step in a broader plan Binance announced on Jan. 30 to shift its $1 billion SAFU fund toward Bitcoin over a 30-day period, part of an effort to bolster the fund amid recent market declines [2][5][1].
Binance’s transfer of 1,315 BTC into SAFU represents an internal rebalance beginning the exchange’s disclosed 30-day conversion of the $1 billion reserve toward Bitcoin, according to on-chain data and company disclosures [2][4][5].
