Changpeng “CZ” Zhao, co-founder of Binance, now holds an estimated $75.8 billion worth of BNB as the token surged to a record high of $850.70, according to Nansen.
A June 2024 Forbes report noted that CZ owns 64% of BNB’s circulating supply of 139.3 million — roughly 89.1 million tokens — while Binance holds another 7%. With 98% of CZ’s portfolio in BNB and just over 1% in Bitcoin, the massive valuation pushes him to No. 23 on Forbes’ global billionaires list, ahead of prominent figures like Julia Koch.
Analysts attribute the recent BNB price rally to increased whale activity, positive chain metrics, and Binance’s regular token burns. CZ’s crypto-centric portfolio reflects his deep conviction in BNB, which has played a central role in his rise as one of the wealthiest figures in the digital asset space. His BNB stake alone now exceeds the net worth of many legacy industrial billionaires.
