CZ revealed that 98.48% of his portfolio is in BNB, while Bitcoin makes up just 1.32%.
He admitted he doesn’t know where some holdings, like EURI and sBTC, even came from.
Despite Bloomberg estimating his net worth at $47.8 billion, CZ denies having that much wealth.
Changpeng “CZ” Zhao, co-founder and former CEO of Binance, just pulled back the curtain on his personal crypto holdings—and the numbers caught a lot of people off guard.
NEW: Former Binance CEO @cz_binance reveals 98.5% of his portfolio is $BNB
According to his post on Binance Square, BNB makes up a massive 98.48% of his portfolio, while Bitcoin, surprisingly, only accounts for 1.32%. The rest? Tiny allocations of stablecoins like EURI (0.17%) and USDT (0.03%)—and a few odd leftovers.
Wait… What’s EURI? CZ Isn’t Sure Either.
CZ shared the breakdown after a user on X asked him to add his trader profile, joking at first: “Where’s the button?”
Users were shocked at his tiny Bitcoin allocation, given how long he’s been a BTC advocate.
Same asked about EURI, a lesser-known stablecoin. CZ admitted he has no clue where it came from.
He also holds a fraction of sBTC, a Bitcoin-wrapped token on Stacks, but said: “I don’t even know what the heck SBTC is.”
“Maybe it was a fork or an airdrop coin, but it seems to have been delisted long ago. I can’t even get rid of it.”
Memecoins, Binance Drama & That $47.8 Billion Net Worth Claim
CZ has accidentally sparked multiple memecoin frenzies lately. Earlier this month, he shared a picture of his dog, Broccoli—and within hours, a flood of “BROCCOLI” tokens popped up.
BNB Chain devs also created a test token, TST, that was never meant for trading—but CZ mentioned it on X, and it shot up 2,000% ahead of its Binance listing.
Despite the hype, CZ says he doesn’t hold either token.
And then there’s his rumored $47.8 billion fortune—which Bloomberg’s Billionaire Index says makes him the 31st richest person in the world.
CZ, however, isn’t buying the numbers:
“I don’t have anywhere near as much.”
Last year, he pled guilty to violating the Bank Secrecy Act, paid a $50M fine, and stepped down as Binance CEO as part of a DOJ deal. He served four months in prison, was released in September 2023, and has mostly kept a low profile—until now.
One thing’s clear: BNB remains at the center of his portfolio, his wealth, and his influence.
