Stolen Bitcoin from Binance Hack Exceeds Tesla's BTC Holdings, Nears SpaceX's, and More Than Doubles El Salvador's Reserve

Hackers stole 18,270 BTC (~$1.4 billion) from Binance hot wallets in a broader theft totaling $6.3–$6.4 billion, the largest cryptocurrency heist on record. The stolen bitcoin exceeds Tesla's disclosed holdings (11,509 BTC), more than doubles El Salvador's reserve (7,820 BTC), and nearly matches SpaceX's (18,712 BTC). TRM Labs and Chainalysis attributed the attack to North Korean state-sponsored actors (TraderTraitor/Lazarus Group); Binance reserved $6.34 billion to compensate users and suspended withdrawals.
