Michael Saylor Joins Bloomberg Billionaires Index Top 500 With $7.37B Net Worth

Michael Saylor, co-founder and executive chairman of MicroStrategy (now Strategy), has seen his net worth rise by over $1 billion in 2025, leading to his debut on the Bloomberg Billionaires Index at 491st with an estimated net worth of $7.37 billion. His wealth is primarily tied to MicroStrategy's significant Bitcoin holdings, which include approximately 659,739 BTC valued at nearly $73 billion, making the firm the largest publicly traded holder of Bitcoin. Despite MicroStrategy's stock declining 12.4% over the past 30 days and being left out of the S&P 500 despite meeting all requirements, Saylor's Bitcoin accumulation strategy continues to boost both his personal fortune and institutional interest in cryptocurrency. Saylor personally holds a substantial number of MicroStrategy shares and has realized gains from stock sales, diversifying into cash while maintaining strong confidence in Bitcoin's long-term value, with ambitions for the company to hold up to 1.5 million BTC. His rise on the billionaire list underscores the transformative impact of Bitcoin on wealth creation and highlights renewed market optimism and trading opportunities within the crypto sector. Although Bloomberg excludes Saylor's personal Bitcoin holdings from his net worth due to verification issues, his influence remains significant in both traditional and crypto markets.
