The Bitcoin Historian account (@pete_rizzo_) posted a video Friday claiming President Donald Trump was examining an alleged $6.3 billion hack involving Binance and describing the matter as under control.

The Oct. 30 post does not say when or where Trump made the remarks. It does not explain what was allegedly hacked, how the $6.3 billion figure was calculated or whether it represents stolen funds, exposure or another measure. It also gives no incident date, affected asset, wallet details or recovery information.

The post centers on an alleged statement and a dollar figure but gives no account of the incident itself. It does not identify a Binance response or any next step in the review Trump was said to be conducting. No detail in the post establishes that Binance suffered a $6.3 billion loss or that the attributed remarks refer to a confirmed breach.

Binance is named in the allegation, while Bitcoin appears only in the post's framing; no affected token is specified.
