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.
Coinbase disclosed that 69,461 of the crypto exchange’s users were affected by a recently unveiled data breach, which took place last year, according to a notice filed with the Maine Attorney General’s Office. Among residents of the Pine Tree State, the San Francisco-based exchange warned that around 217 natives were impacted by the incident. The company said the exploit involved cyber criminals bribing overseas customer support agents to access names, addresses, phone numbers, emails, and gover...
A crypto founder was abducted in Uganda, held at gunpoint, and forced to send crypto worth $500,000 to his attackers, in the latest of a spate of crypto kidnap attempts. Festo Ivaibi, founder of crypto education hub Mitroplus Labs, was abducted on May 17 near his residence on Bunamwaya Road in Kampala, Uganda. The attackers were reportedly armed, dressed in military uniforms, and claimed to be "security operatives" of the Uganda People's Defence Forces, or UPDF, according to a formal statement f...
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...
