The price of Ethereum surged to an all-time high of $3,188 today. That makes the project’s 27-year-old co-founder, Vitalik Buterin, one of the richest men in the world. He holds a little over $1 billion of Ethereum in a single wallet.
Buterin disclosed his personal ETH address in October 2018, noting that it also includes donations to charity. Currently, the wallet holds 333,520 ETH, or just over $1.06 billion. He said that he owns several other “relatively small” addresses.
Though that doesn't just include sales, it also includes some gifts and charity donations.

The community has closely watched Buterin’s addresses for fear that a huge sell-off indicates that the market has peaked. But Buterin is a confirmed HODLer: the last time he sold ETH was in August 2020, when he sold 13,333 ETH for $5.2 million—back then, the price was just below $390.
Here’s a crypto tidbit for you. In late 2015, Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin sold half a million Ethereum (ETH) to Galaxy Digital CEO Mike Novogratz in an over-the-counter transaction. He sold each ETH for just $0.99. Today that nest egg would have been worth $229 million. Novogratz explained how the sale happened during an interview with YouTube channel Nugget’s News. He said that he met up with college roommate Joseph Lubin to discuss purchasing a 25% stake in his venture studio ConsenSy...
Nor is Buterin adept at calling the market top. He disclosed that he sold and donated an unspecified part of his ETH holdings for fiat when the price of ETH was $700, or almost half the previous top of $1,300 observed in January 2018.
*I* sold ETH at ~$700, or about half the top (actually, both sold and donated). The *ethereum foundation* sold at ~$1200, and that money has gone into devs and grants since then.
— vitalik.eth (@VitalikButerin) August 17, 2020
Despite his immense wealth, Buterin’s disclosed wallet is only the 22nd most valuable on the network, according to data from Etherscan.
It’s far less valuable than the wallet operated by major cryptocurrency exchanges and token issuers. The top wallet, associated with Wrapped Ether, has sucked in almost 7 million ETH ($22.1 billion), or more than 6% of Ethereum’s supply. The second most valuable wallet collects deposits to Ethereum 2.0; that wallet holds 4.137 million ETH ($1.3 billion).
The latest price rally also brought the holdings of the non-profit that organizes Ethereum’s development, the Ethereum Foundation, to more than $1.36 billion. Currently, the organization holds 430,141 ETH.
Buterin is not the only founder of a blockchain project known for selling their substantial holdings. Jed McCaleb, the co-founder of Ripple, also has a history of selling his XRP holdings. He’s already sold about 60 million XRP this month; the sales netted him $95.4 million.
Energy storage company KULR Technology Group has bought an additional $9 million Bitcoin for its corporate treasury, the company announced Tuesday, part of a recent surge of companies that have been building treasuries of the digital asset. Publicly traded KULR, which has headquarters in Houston, now holds 800.3 tokens worth about $85 million, based on current pricing. The company bought its latest Bitcoin at an average price of $103,234 per token. Bitcoin was recently trading at roughly $106...
The founder of online news publication TechCrunch has claimed that Coinbase’s recent data breach “will lead to people dying,” amid a wave of kidnap attempts targeting high-net-worth crypto holders. TechCrunch founder and venture capitalist Michael Arrington added that this should be a point of reflection for regulators to re-think the importance of know-your-customer (KYC), a process that requires users to confirm their identity to a platform. He also called for prison time for executives that f...
Kevin O’Leary responded Monday to U.S. Senator Elizabeth Warren's (D-MA) latest attacks on the Senate’s stablecoin bill, rejecting her claims as “completely deranged” and warning that politicizing the legislation could undermine the U.S.’s position in global finance. “She’s confusing politics with progress, and this time, it could cost America dearly,” the Shark Tank investor and entrepreneur tweeted Monday. He added that, “This bill has nothing to do with Trump or meme coins.” Elizabeth Warre...
