Vitalik Buterin says 90% of his net worth is in ETH as EF outlines a slimmer mandate

On May 24, 2026, Vitalik Buterin said the Ethereum Foundation will narrow its mission and operate as a smaller, more opinionated organization focused on censorship-resistance, privacy, and open infrastructure. He also stated the EF holds about 0.16% of all ETH, while he personally keeps nearly 90% of his net worth in ETH and about $40 million in onchain fiat already allocated to open-source projects.
