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.
Hackers took aim at Westminster on Tuesday, commandeering British Leader of the House of Commons Lucy Powell’s verified X account to promote a bogus crypto token branded as the “House of Commons Coin (HCC).” The compromised account, followed by nearly 70,000 users, tweeted a now-deleted message claiming the HCC token was “a community-driven digital currency bringing people’s power to the blockchain.” The posts, which featured the official House of Commons logo, were quickly removed after Powell’...
Sam Altman's OpenAI is reportedly working on a social media platform that could go head-to-head with Elon Musk’s X, according to a report by The Verge, marking a new front in the increasingly bitter feud between the two tech titans. The project, described as an internal prototype, is said to revolve around a social feed integrated with ChatGPT’s image generation capabilities. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman has allegedly begun soliciting feedback on the concept, which remains in early development. OpenAI...
More than two months after it brought its Bitcoin holdings to 3,192 BTC, healthcare tech firm Semler Scientific is preparing to buy more. Semler Scientific plans to raise up to $500 million through a new securities offering that could boost its Bitcoin holdings, according to a Tuesday SEC filing. The filing was a shelf registration statement that would allow it to issue various securities, including common stock, preferred stock, debt securities, warrants, and units over time, the filing shows....
