Financial Analysis

Binance does not publish audited accounts, so every revenue figure is an outside estimate. Fortune put 2022 revenue at about $12 billion. Bloomberg's billionaires index estimated $9.8 billion for the 12 months to March 2024, using tracked trading volume and published fee rates. In March 2026 Forbes quoted an Artemis analyst estimating $16 billion to $17 billion a year in 2024 and 2025, about two and a half times Coinbase's $6.6 billion. Forbes valued Binance at about $100 billion and estimated CZ's stake at roughly 90%. The only disclosed outside equity investment is MGX's $2 billion minority stake from March 2025, settled in the USD1 stablecoin. The largest known cost was the roughly $4.3 billion US penalty agreed in November 2023. Binance is the world's largest cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume, historically commanding private market valuations exceeding $60 billion.

How much customer crypto does Binance hold?

Binance reported more than $160 billion of user assets at the end of 2024. It publishes monthly proof of reserves using Merkle trees and zk-SNARKs so users can check that their balances are covered.

How does the BNB auto-burn mechanism impact the supply and value of BNB?

Binance implements a programmatic Auto-Burn mechanism that automatically calculates the amount of BNB to be burned each quarter based on BNB price and blocks produced on BNB Chain, permanently reducing the circulating supply toward a target cap of 100 million BNB.

Is Binance profitable?

Yes, it is immensely profitable, though as a private company it does not disclose public financials. However, it easily absorbed a massive, historic $4.3 billion fine from the US Department of Justice in 2023 without going bankrupt.
