Michael Saylor Adds Nearly $1 Billion to His Fortune in 2025
Michael Saylor, co-founder and CEO of MicroStrategy, has boosted his wealth by nearly $1 billion this year, thanks to rising stock and Bitcoin holdings. His net worth climbed 15.8% to $7.37 billion, placing him at No. 491 on the Bloomberg Billionaires Index.
MicroStrategy Stock and Bitcoin Holdings Fuel Growth
MicroStrategy shares (MSTR) have risen 12% in 2025, according to Google Finance. A Bloomberg breakdown shows Saylor’s wealth consists of about $650 million in cash, with the rest tied to his massive stake in MicroStrategy.
The company remains the largest public holder of Bitcoin, with 636,505 BTC worth around $70 billion—equal to 3.42% of the entire Bitcoin supply.
Despite the enormous holdings, MicroStrategy says its buying strategy avoids disrupting markets.
“We buy Bitcoin in such a way that we do not influence its price,” explained Shirish Jajodia, the company’s treasurer.
Saylor Joins the Crypto Billionaire Elite
Saylor is now ranked alongside other crypto billionaires:
- Brian Armstrong, Coinbase CEO, worth $12.8B (No. 234)
- Changpeng “CZ” Zhao, Binance founder, worth $44.5B (No. 40)
This cements his place as one of the most influential figures in the intersection of crypto and Wall Street.
Aiming for the S&P 500
On September 1, 2025, MicroStrategy qualified for the S&P 500 index but was ultimately left out, despite delivering one of its strongest quarters ever. The company had hoped to become the first Bitcoin-focused firm added to the prestigious benchmark.
For now, Saylor’s growing wealth and MicroStrategy’s unmatched Bitcoin stash highlight how crypto adoption is reshaping global finance—with MicroStrategy at the center of it.
