Binance has spent half its SAFU bitcoin, about $580 million
ITF Team1 min read
The exchange’s user protection fund fell below the $800 million refill trigger after using roughly $580 million of SAFU Bitcoin.
Binance disclosed that it has used about half of the Bitcoin held in its SAFU (Secure Asset Fund for Users) reserve, amounting to roughly $580 million. This depletion brings the fund’s balance under the $800 million threshold that, under Binance’s own policy, would normally require a top‑up.
Current fund level
The SAFU fund now sits below the $800 million mark, but the exchange has not announced a timeline for replenishing the reserve. Binance’s rules state that a shortfall triggers an automatic refill, yet no details have been provided on when or how the top‑up will occur.
