In an April 23 interview with When Shift Happens, Bybit CEO Ben Zhou described a straightforward personal wealth philosophy: buy Bitcoin when it dips, hold it long term, and use it as a financial fallback rather than a vehicle for outsized gains. Zhou was candid that he considers himself a builder, not an investor, and structures his asset allocation accordingly — defensively.
The strategy strips away the complexity often attached to crypto wealth management. No active trading, no yield chasing — just a recurring bid on Bitcoin at relative lows and a long-term hold. For a CEO running one of the world's largest derivatives exchanges, the simplicity of the approach is itself a signal.

Bybit CEO: I Buy a Lot of Bitcoin to Give Myself a Safety Net
In an April 23 interview with When Shift Happens, Bybit CEO Ben Zhou @benbybit said he is not good at investing and is better at creating and building, so most of his asset allocation is defensive.
He said the key to managing his personal wealth is not chasing aggressive returns, but making sure he has a fallback and does not have to worry about money if things go wrong. For that reason, he has bought a lot of Bitcoin and tends to hold it long term. In his view, the strategy is simple: when Bitcoin falls to a relatively cheap level, he buys more.
