In a significant change to the way the exchange handles its emergency protection reserves, Binance intends to fully convert its $1 billion Secure Asset Fund for Users into Bitcoin.
The existing combination of stablecoins and cryptocurrency assets will be replaced with just Bitcoin over the course of the next 30 days. Binance stated the fund will be rebalanced depending on market value and topped up if it falls below $800 million.
The exchange stated that storing SAFU in BTC represents a long-term belief rather than a short-term market call and referred to Bitcoin as the cornerstone of the cryptocurrency ecosystem. The fund was established in 2018 to shield users from unforeseen losses or hacks.
According to Binance, it currently serves 300 million users worldwide and transacted $34 trillion in trade volume in 2025. It also disclosed proof-of-reserves of nearly $160 billion.
According to founder Changpeng Zhao, as acceptance increases and regulations become more apparent in large nations, Bitcoin may reach a “supercycle” in 2026.
