🌐 Vitalik Buterin says Ethereum Foundation will sell less ETH under leaner plan

⚠️ He said this means the foundation will sell less ETH going forward. Buterin made the comments in a long post on X, where he described the foundation as one part of Ethereum, not the center of the network. He said his own power inside the organization will keep falling as the board expands.

‼️ Buterin said the Ethereum Foundation has limited funds, staff, and organizational capacity. He said the foundation holds about 0.16% of all ETH, which is far smaller than the central foundations behind many other blockchains. He wrote that the foundation is choosing “longevity over breadth” and added that this means it will sell less ETH. His post described a narrower mission around censorship resistance, openness, privacy, and security.

🔗 The statement builds on the foundation’s treasury policy from June 2025. That policy said ETH sales depend on operating needs and reserve targets, while the foundation also planned to reduce annual operating costs over five years.
