This is using the whole number value of BNB at the current level of $41. Taking two steps back and checking the amount reveals that this is a huge sum that has not been touched by the team at <a href=\"https:\/\/en.ethereumworldnews.com\/category\/news\/binance-bnb-news\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Binance<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The ability of the team to keep holding means that they are in it for the long haul and are committed to the vision of Binance. This commitment was also showcased by the announcement of the <a href=\"https:\/\/en.ethereumworldnews.com\/binance-destroys-165m-in-bnb-with-latest-coin-burn-highest-to-date\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">accelerated BNB coin burn<\/a> program that would reduce the total supply of BNB to 100 Million in 5 to 8 years.<\/p>\n<p>Such fundamentals are also reasons that Binance Coin holders are optimistic on the long term value of the coin.
