With a net worth of over $200 billion, Elon Musk says he barely has any cash on hand: The person in the crypto world most like him might be CZ! In 2021, Musk revealed in an interview that although his net worth had surpassed $200 billion, his cash reserves were very low, with the majority of his wealth tied up in Tesla and SpaceX equity. When he needs funds, he mainly relies on stock-backed loans. He even said that if these two companies went bankrupt, he would go bankrupt immediately as well. There was one line from the interview that really stuck with me: *I could totally sell my shares in advance, diversify my investments, and protect my wealth. But if the company ultimately fails, and I end up rich because I cashed out early while other investors bear the losses, that just doesn’t seem right.* Musk said that a captain should go down with their ship. Tesla and SpaceX have come within weeks of bankruptcy multiple times, but even then, he didn’t sell his shares to reduce his personal risk. After hearing this, I started wondering: Are there any founders like this in the crypto world? The first person who came to mind was CZ. In 2025, he publicly disclosed part of his crypto asset allocation: 98.48% in $BNB, only 1.32% in $BTC, and just 0.2% in stablecoins. The second is Vitalik. According to Arkham’s stats from October 2026, his known wallets still hold about 224,000 $ETH, worth approximately $530 million. Over the years, he has sold some $ETH, including in 2026 to fund open-source tech and ecosystem development, but the majority of his known on-chain wealth is still in $ETH. The rise and fall of Ethereum directly impacts his personal wealth. The third is Satoshi Nakamoto. 1 million $BTC sitting quietly in wallets, untouched. The only things that seem to threaten those coins now are AI and quantum computing crises. Crypto founders should take a page from Musk’s book. Besides the three mentioned above, who else do you think fits this mold? Name them all if you can. #Crypto #ElonMusk #CZ #Vitalik #Satoshi #Bitcoin #Ethereum #BNB #HODL #CryptoFounders
