Key Insights:
- BNB Foundation burned 1,441,281.413 BNB valued at $1.66 billion in its 33rd quarterly event.
- The total BNB supply has decreased to 137,738,379.26 tokens after the burn.
- The burn aligns with BNB’s long-term goal of reducing total supply to 100 million tokens.
- All burn transactions remain publicly verifiable on the BNB Smart Chain for transparency.
The BNB Foundation has confirmed the completion of its 33rd quarterly burn of its native token, BNB, destroying 1,441,281.413 BNB. At the time of the burn, the value of the tokens removed from circulation was approximately USD 1.661 billion. According to the announcement, this reduction brings the total circulating supply of BNB to 137,738,379.26 BNB, moving the network closer to its long-term supply target of 100 million tokens.
Token Burn Mechanism and Supply Reduction
The BNB Foundation uses a programmed quarterly burn mechanism designed to reduce token supply over time. This process sees a specified quantity of BNB sent to an unreachable “black hole” address, ensuring those tokens are permanently removed from circulation. The quantity of each burn is determined by a formula tied to factors such as the number of blocks generated on the BNB Smart Chain (BSC) during the period and the average market price of BNB.
The BNB Foundation has completed its 33rd quarterly BNB burn, destroying 1,441,281.413 BNB worth approximately $1.661 billion at the time. This reduces the total supply to 137,738,379.26 BNB, moving closer to the ultimate target of 100 million.https://t.co/sVHNr44Fup pic.twitter.com/hBXN1c0SCq

With the 33rd burn completed, the circulating supply now stands at roughly 137.7 million BNB. This represents a further step toward the Foundation’s stated objective of reducing total supply to 100 million BNB. The burn mechanism is publicly auditable, with transaction details recorded on-chain, and aligns with prior burns, which also removed well over one million BNB each quarter.
Implications & Context of the 33rd Burn
By removing 1,441,281.413 BNB—valued at approximately USD 1.661 billion—this burn contributes directly to the deflationary pressure on the token’s supply. Lower supply, assuming constant or increasing demand, can influence the tokenomics of BNB over time. Meanwhile, the The foundation’s progress toward the 100 million target marks a clear ongoing commitment to its supply-reduction roadmap.
The reduction to 137,738,379.26 BNB now leaves fewer than 38 million tokens remaining to be burned if the target is strictly 100 million. This milestone may serve as additional transparency for network participants tracking supply dynamics and governance metrics within the BNB ecosystem.
The Foundation’s announcement did not offer predictions about future burn amounts beyond the 33rd event but reaffirmed that quarterly burns will continue in line with protocol parameters.
