MEXC to Add 1,000 BTC, Grow Guardian Fund to $500M
MEXC will acquire 1,000 BTC and expand its Guardian Fund to $500 million over 24 months, pairing on-chain BTC with USDT reserves and publishing proof-of-reserves.
Crypto exchange MEXC announced plans to add 1,000 bitcoin to its reserves and increase its Guardian Fund to $500 million over a 24-month period. The program establishes a dual reserve structure that combines on-chain BTC holdings with liquid USDT reserves.
The rollout is scheduled over the next two years. Under the revised framework, the Guardian Fund will hold large USDT balances to provide immediate liquidity and operational flexibility, while the added bitcoin will act as a longer-term reserve intended to preserve purchasing power across market cycles.
Market data show the platform recorded roughly $271.6 million in net inflows through May 11. MEXC review framed the reserve plan as a disciplined reserve-management approach rather than a reaction to short-term price swings.
To increase transparency, MEXC published the wallet addresses for the Guardian Fund’s USDT and bitcoin holdings so users can verify balances on-chain in real time. The exchange also said it will provide on-chain proof-of-reserves for both BTC and USDT as part of the program, enabling external verification of the dual-reserve system.
In a company statement, CEO Vugar Usi wrote, “Trust has to be capitalized, not just claimed. The expansion of the Guardian Fund and the addition of bitcoin reserves reflect our commitment to building protection infrastructure that helps users access infinite opportunities with greater confidence.”
MEXC described the initiative as part of a broader effort to adopt institutional-grade financial safeguards, strengthen risk management and improve transparency. The exchange said the larger Guardian Fund is intended to help protect users during periods of market stress while supporting long-term growth as it aims to expand its global presence.
The dual-reserve design pairs stablecoin holdings for immediate operational needs with bitcoin reserves as a longer-term asset. The company expects the structure to provide liquidity for withdrawals and operational costs while holding bitcoin as a store of value over market cycles.
