\n

Bitcoin has held up better than expected following the $6.3 billion Binance hack, according to Strive CEO Matt Cole, who said the breach does not undermine the cryptocurrency\u2019s long-term investment thesis.<\/p>\n

Speaking on Cointelegraph\u2019s Chain Reaction<\/a> on Friday, Cole said the breach had not changed his long-term investment case for Bitcoin. He compared the attack on Binance\u2019s wallets to a bank robbery rather than a failure of Bitcoin\u2019s network.<\/p>\n

Bitcoin traded near $77,400 at 4:00 pm on Saturday, about 4% below its price shortly before the attack began Thursday, according<\/a> to CoinGecko data.<\/p>\n

Strive, a publicly traded company that holds Bitcoin on its balance sheet, reported owning 43,000 BTC as of Oct. 23. <\/p>\n

\u201cI do have conviction that over any reasonable time frame, this does not change the investment thesis on Bitcoin,\u201d Cole said.<\/p>\n

Cole said Bitcoin\u2019s decline was less severe than he expected given the scale of the breach and broader market weakness, although he acknowledged that it was too early to determine whether the cryptocurrency had reached a price bottom.<\/p>\n

Cole described the market as being in an \u201cearly spring\u201d recovery phase that could last another six to nine months, with prices gradually rising rather than surging to new highs.<\/p>\n

Paul Chapman, financial crime director at Wirex, also distinguished the attack on Binance from a compromise of Bitcoin\u2019s network. \u201cIt\u2019s important to be clear that Bitcoin itself hasn\u2019t been hacked \u2014 this was an attack on one company\u2019s systems, not the network,\u201d he told Cointelegraph.<\/p>\n

Bitcoin reaction compared with Bybit<\/h2>\n

According to Glassnode, Thursday\u2019s Binance breach<\/a> was the largest cryptocurrency hack on record, with around $6.3 billion affected, exceeding the combined losses from the next nine largest hacks. The previous record was the $1.5 billion Bybit exploit in February 2025.<\/p>\n

Glassnode said<\/a> three of the 10 largest crypto hacks have occurred since the beginning of 2025, all involving exchanges.<\/p>\n

By comparison, following the Bybit hack in 2025, Bitcoin fell roughly 5% from nearly $100,000 to around $95,000 amid the breach and broader market volatility, according to a Bitfinex market report<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Anchorage Digital data cited<\/a> by CNBC put Bitcoin\u2019s average decline in the first 24 hours after previous crypto exchange exploits at 8.3%.<\/p>\n

Binance hack exposes exchange security vulnerabilities<\/h2>\n

Blockaid CEO Ido Ben-Natan said the attackers appeared to have compromised<\/a> Binance\u2019s transaction signing process. Binance said Friday that it had found no evidence of leaked wallet private keys, though its investigation remained ongoing.<\/p>\n

Blockaid\u2019s analysis identified an Ethereum transaction containing 50 signed authorizations covering different transaction counts. A matching authorization allowed attacker-controlled code to operate through the wallet. Ben-Natan argued that checks before signing could have blocked the malicious authorization.<\/p>\n
