How Much Does Vitalik Buterin Own Today? A Look Inside the Ethereum Founder’s Crypto Wallets

Abstract generation in progress

Following last week’s sharp downturn in the crypto markets, one big question is resurfacing: what is the current state of Ethereum founder Vitalik Buterin’s portfolio? And how much has his wealth been affected?

Total Net Worth Over $700 Million – Mostly in Ethereum Vitalik Buterin currently holds an estimated $706.9 million in assets. A detailed look at ten of his publicly known crypto wallets reveals that nearly all of his wealth is tied to Ethereum – which aligns with his vision and role in the ecosystem. His main holding consists of 241,011 ETH, currently valued at approximately $696.1 million. That means around 98% of his net worth is concentrated in Ethereum alone.

What Else Besides ETH? AETHWETH, Memecoins & Leftover DeFi Tokens Right after his main ETH holdings comes a position in AETHWETH, specifically 2,921 units, stored via the decentralized protocol Aave v3. This token is directly indexed to ETH and follows its price. Other holdings include small amounts of altcoins, mostly memecoins, such as: 🔹 WHITE – a memecoin with a balance worth about $1.28 million

🔹 MOODENG – listed twice with large nominal values (one as $385.8 million, another as 30 billion in token count, but with very low liquidity)

🔹 KNC – the older Kyber Network token, with about 869,000 KNC valued at $235,400 Most of these tokens were sent to him unsolicited, likely as marketing stunts or to gain attention from being associated with his name.

A Weekly Loss of Over $71 Million The recent crypto sell-off, especially in Bitcoin and altcoins, has also impacted Buterin’s portfolio. In just one week, he has lost over $71 million, representing roughly 10% of his net worth. Still, despite the dramatic drop, Buterin remains one of the wealthiest individuals in the crypto space – and his confidence in Ethereum is clear: there is virtually no diversification into other assets or coins.

Fun Fact: Vitalik Buterin has long said that personal profit isn’t his main motivation. In the past, he has donated significant sums to charity, research, and public-benefit projects.
