$BNB The declared holdings of BNB by Binance co-founder Changpeng “CZ” Zhao have far surpassed an estimated value of $75.8 billion, as the token reached new all-time highs on Monday.

A Forbes note in June 2024 stated that Zhao owns 64% of the circulating supply of BNB of 139.3 million coins, and Binance controls another 7%, meaning that the former CEO of the cryptocurrency exchange owns about 89.1 million tokens.

The $75.8 billion solely from BNB would place him above American philanthropist Julia Koch and her family, who hold a 42% stake in Koch Industries, the second-largest privately held company in the United States.

The initial supply of BNB was set at 200 million coins, but the supply is gradually decreasing due to token burns initiated by Binance to reduce the circulating amount.
