Is the crypto a tranquil cable or a fortune factory? The question comes back constantly, fueled by the roller coaster mountains. Sometimes she strips small investors, sometimes she transforms reckless bettors into millionaires. But a constant remains: the big names in the sector continue to stack the gains. Whether it is Binance CZ, Sam Bankman-Fried before his fall or even Michael Saylor with Strategy, the story proves that the massive accumulation of bitcoins and Altcoins ends up, at least for those who know how to wait.
In short
- Michael Saylor enters the Bloomberg Index with a fortune valued at 7.37 billion.
- Strategy currently holds 659,739 bitcoins, or $ 73 billion at the current price.
- Saylor's fortune rests almost entirely on Bitcoin and its capital in Strategy.
- Strategy was excluded from the S&P 500 despite its recent inclusion in the Nasdaq 100.
Michael Saylor, from the 2000 crash to the return among the billionaires
Twenty years ago, Michael Saylor was already one of the tech giants. Co -founder of Strategy (formerly Microstrategy), he had raised more than $ 7 billion thanks to the Internet bubble. But the glory was brief: a dispute with the dry forced him to review his accounts and his empire collapsed. The man could have disappeared from the radar, he preferred to reinvent himself.
In 2020, he transformed Strategy into Bitcoin treasurer, first investing $ 250 million in the asset. Five years later, the company holds 659,739 BTC, or more than 3.4 % of the world supply. These reserves are worth around $ 73 billion, which makes strategy the largest company listed with Bitcoins.
This daring bet has raised Saylor to the world ranking. In early September, Bloomberg revealed His entry to the index Billionaireswith a fortune of $ 7.37 billion. As a resounding return in the powerful circle, two decades after his first fortune passed out.
A wealth under the infusion of Bitcoin and the Strategy title
Michael Saylor's fortune is not diverse. It is almost completely linked to Bitcoin and Strategy. According to Bloomberg, it holds approximately 8 % of the company's capital via 19.6 million stocks B and 382,000 shares A. This represents $ 6.72 billion, to which are added $ 650 million in cash sales.
This dependence makes Saylor a fragile billionaire. When Bitcoin flies away, it earns billions. When he falls, he loses as much. In recent months, the Strategy action has increased by 12 % since January, but fell by 12.4 % over the last 30 days. This does not prevent Bloomberg from having integrated Saylor into his ranking, while dismissing his 17,732 personal BTCs, because their detention could not be checked.

The way we buy bitcoin is that we do not move its price.
Michael Saylor and his Gospel of “Standard Bitcoin”
For Michael Saylor, Bitcoin is not just a speculative asset. He makes it a social project. During the BTC Prague 2025 conference, he launched A message that made a big splash ::
Anyone who invests in Bitcoin today will be incredibly rich in the future.
Its objective is clear: to impose what he calls “standard bitcoin”, a new global financial architecture. According to him, traditional currencies are condemned. The dollar, reinforced by favorable laws such as the Genius Act signed in July 2025, and Bitcoin would form the framework of the future system.
The figures that mark the trajectory
- Current fortune: $ 7.37 billion, +15.8 % since January;
- Strategy reserves: 659,739 BTC, or $ 73 billion;
- Cumulative investments: $ 47 billion in Bitcoin since 2020;
- Bloomberg classification: 491ᵉ Place du Billionaires Index.
As a tireless missionary, Saylor continues to multiply the conferences, tweets and BTC purchases. For his supporters, he is the visionary who leads finance to the future. For his detractors, a casino player with billions of dollars in digital tokens.
The glory of Michael Saylor, very real today, nevertheless finds his limit in the shadow of the creator of Bitcoin. Satoshi Nakamoto, a supposed holder of more than a million BTC, would have more than $ 130 billion if its keys were still active. An extraordinary heritage, attributed to a ghost being that some even suspect of being an artificial intelligence. What remember that, despite the current fortunes, the real master of the game is always invisible.
