The transition was completed within 30 days of the initial announcement, according to Binance. With the final tranche executed, the Secure Asset Fund for Users (SAFU) now holds 15,000 BTC.
At the time of completion, the total value stood at approximately $1.005 billion, based on a Bitcoin price of $67,000. Binance also publicly disclosed the SAFU Bitcoin address and the latest transaction ID, reinforcing its commitment to onchain transparency.
SAFU was originally created as an emergency insurance fund to protect users in extreme scenarios. By converting the reserves entirely into Bitcoin, Binance is effectively signaling strong conviction in BTC as a long-term store-of-value asset.
The move represents a structural shift from stablecoin-based reserves toward a fully Bitcoin-backed protection model.
Large-scale treasury conversions into Bitcoin often draw attention from institutional investors, as they signal confidence in BTC’s long-term value proposition.
With 15,000 BTC now sitting in the SAFU wallet, Binance holds one of the more visible exchange-controlled Bitcoin reserve pools, potentially reinforcing narratives around Bitcoin as a reserve-grade digital asset.
Market participants may monitor:
With SAFU now fully allocated to Bitcoin, Binance has positioned its user protection fund around the asset it describes as the premier long-term reserve within the crypto ecosystem.
