TREE NEWS update: Changpeng Zhao said on X that he never stated he would sell SPCX shares, clarifying that he mentioned the holding only because a post comparing Binance with FTX could have suggested Binance lacked funds. Zhao said Binance holds assets beyond crypto, that the SPCX stake is negligible to the other party and no threat, and that SPCX remains a quality long-term holding. He urged against framing the matter as confrontation.
CZ Denies Plans to Sell SPCX Shares, Calls Stock a Long-Term Hold
The clarification matters less for the SPCX stake itself than for what it reveals about how Binance's balance sheet gets discussed in public: a casual mention intended to rebut an FTX comparison became a market signal, forcing a follow-up denial. That sensitivity is the real story for counterparties and observers parsing Binance's disclosures, since off-crypto holdings now carry reputational weight in how the firm is judged against peers. Whether such offhand remarks keep snowballing into clarification cycles is the open question.
