Binance hacker's Bitcoin holdings exceed Coinbase's reported treasury, Cointelegraph reports
· By MyCryptoSignal Editorial · 344 words
Cointelegraph reports that the attackers behind the Binance hack held 18,270 BTC early Friday, a balance the outlet says topped Coinbase's reported corporate holdings. The same report puts the group's Ether holdings above 500,000 ETH.
Cointelegraph frames the story as a holdings comparison: the attackers' Bitcoin position, at 18,270 BTC, sits above the corporate treasury Coinbase has reported. The summary also notes an Ether stash exceeding 500,000 ETH. The piece was published on 30 October 2026, with no author byline attached.
In the material available here, Cointelegraph does not set out how the balances were calculated, whether the coins have moved since, or how the figures were verified. We have not independently confirmed the source's numbers. The comparison rests on two stated figures — the attackers' BTC balance and Coinbase's reported corporate holdings — and the summary offers no further detail on either.
Our own data, collected on a 30-minute schedule, shows Bitcoin at $77,446 as of 13:17 UTC, up 0.21% over 24 hours. The coin traded between $76,338 and $77,932 in that window, with support at $76,460.90 and resistance at $77,946.80. Bitcoin's 7-day change is -3.78% and its 30-day change is -7.66%. The 14-period RSI reads 53.4 and the trend is marked down.
Ethereum traded at $2,248.72, up 0.82% over 24 hours, inside a range of $2,212.89 to $2,257.45. Its 7-day change is -4.77% and its 30-day change is -16.85%. RSI is 56.1, the trend is down, and support sits at $2,244.65 against resistance at $2,254.23. Across the wider market, total capitalization is $2.456 trillion, up 0.24% in 24 hours, with Bitcoin dominance at 63.4%.
The source's figures place a hacked balance above a listed company's reported treasury, a comparison built on two numbers rather than on any disclosed movement of coins. Our snapshot shows both assets slightly higher over 24 hours but lower across 7 and 30 days, with RSI readings near the middle of their ranges. That leaves the holdings comparison as a static accounting fact rather than a market event.
