Binance commits $500M for Elon Musk's takeover

Crypto exchange Binance has pledged $500 million to support Elon Musk's $44 billion takeover bid. Musk also received $800 million from Sequoia Capital, $316 million from Fidelity, and $400 million from a16z. These details were revealed via a Schedule 13D form, which must be filed with the SEC when an entity acquires more than 5% of a company's equity shares.

In response to the announcement, Binance CEO Changpeng Zhao tweeted, "A small contribution to the cause," implying that he believes in the changes Musk wants to make to Twitter. Binance also made a $200 million strategic investment in Forbes earlier this year, so this isn't the first time it's taken a stake in a media company.

Twitter takeover

Elon Musk agreed to buy Twitter for $54.20 per share in April. The transaction, which will turn Twitter into a privately held company, is expected to close this year, subject to stockholder and regulatory approval.

Musk has stated he plans to open source Twitter's algorithm to make it a more inclusive space for free speech. He also stated that he would attempt to combat spam and bot accounts.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I trust Cryptonary's calls?

Yes. We've consistently identified winners across multiple cycles. Bitcoin under $1,000, Ethereum under $70, Solana under $10, WIF from $0.003 to $5, PopCat from $0.004 to $2, SPX blasting past $1.70, and our latest pick has already 200X'd since June 2025. Everything is timestamped and public record.

Do I need to be an experienced trader or investor to benefit?

No. When we founded Cryptonary in 2017 the market was new to everyone. We intentionally created content that was easy to understand and actionable. That foundational principle is the crux of Cryptonary. Taking complex ideas and opportunities and presenting them in a way a 10 year old could understand.

What makes Cryptonary different from free crypto content on YouTube or Twitter?

Signal vs noise. We filter out 99.9% of garbage projects, provide data backed analysis, and have a proven track record of finding winners. Not to mention since Cryptonary's inception in 2017 we have never taken investment, sponsorship or partnership. Compare this to pretty much everyone else, no track record, and a long list of partnerships that cloud judgements.

Why is there no trial or refund policy?

We share highly sensitive, time-critical research. Once it's out, it can't be "returned." That's why membership is annual only. Crypto success takes time and commitment. If someone is not willing to invest 12 months into their future, there is no place for them at Cryptonary.

Do I get direct access to the Cryptonary team?

Yes. You will have 24/7 to the team that bought you BTC at $1,000, ETH at $70, and SOL at $10. Through our community chats, live Q&As, and member only channels, you can ask questions and interact directly with the team. Our team has over 50 years of combined experience which you can tap into every single day.

How often is content updated?

Daily. We provide real-time updates, weekly reports, emergency alerts, and live Q&As when the markets move fast. In crypto, the market moves fast, in Cryptonary, we move faster.

How does the 3X Value Guarantee work?

We stand behind the value of our research. If the documented upside from our published research during your 12-month membership does not exceed three times (3X) the annual subscription cost, you can request a full refund. Historical context: In every completed market cycle since 2017, cumulative documented upside has exceeded 10X this threshold.
