Strategy’s Michael Saylor Breaks Into Bloomberg’s Billionaire Rankings

by

Ah, the sweet, sweet fragrance of Bloomberg’s millionaire-or, rather, billionaire-index. Michael Saylor, co-founder of MicroStrategy (oh, excuse me, now it’s “Strategy”-does it make it sound snazzier?), has finally slid into the list of the mega-wealthy with a modest $7.37 billion to his name, claiming spot number 491. Yes, you read that correctly-491st. How very… prestigious. 🤑

It appears that his fortune has bloomed like a Bitcoin plant in full spring. Reports have leaked that his wealth surged by a cool $1 billion since the dawn of 2025-essentially a 16% increase this year. Maybe he’s been buying low and praying for the best… or maybe his Bitcoin stash is just paying him a lovely little dividend. 🧑‍💻

Strategy Holdings Drive Wealth

According to Bloomberg (because where else would we get our finest gossip?), about $6.7 billion of Saylor’s reported net worth is tied to his company’s stock-yes, the one and only Strategy-and the rest is lounging in cash like a rich uncle on vacation. The majority of his wealth is like a tightrope between the value of the company’s shares and, of course, those precious Bitcoin reserves. 🍀

Different Counts For Bitcoin Hoard

Ah, Bitcoin-the gift that keeps on giving… or taking. Depending on how you look at it. Different publications keep jostling for the title of “Most Accurate Bitcoin Stash Counter.” Some say Strategy holds around 580,000 BTC as of May 2025. Others claim it’s closer to 630,000 BTC or perhaps even 660,000 BTC, depending on when they last refreshed their Google tabs. It’s like a financial game of “How Many Bitcoins Are In The Jar?”

Let’s be honest-this is less about counting digits and more about the wild rollercoaster ride of price changes. The company buys and sells Bitcoin like they’re buying fancy shoes on sale. 💸

Saylor’s Fortune Moves With Markets

Bloomberg’s live index is a thing of pure volatility-Saylor’s net worth can shoot up by a casual $167 million in a matter of moments. A little bump here, a little dip there, all thanks to the capricious whims of Strategy’s shares and Bitcoin’s rollercoaster movements. Think of it as a financial soap opera. 🎢

Yes, indeed, 2025 has brought its fair share of dizzying highs as Strategy’s stock soared and Bitcoin enjoyed a delightful uptick. Let’s toast to that… with a cryptocurrency cocktail. 🍹

From Dot-Com Highs To A Bitcoin Bet

Our dear Saylor’s journey has been quite the soap opera-an early dot-com darling, back when the internet was still a sparkly new toy, followed by a massive strategy overhaul in 2020. That’s when Strategy decided, “Why not take a wild leap into the Bitcoin game?” And lo and behold, now most of Saylor’s net worth isn’t just in cash or property, but rather a good chunk of Bitcoin-more volatile, more electrifying, and definitely more amusing to watch. 📉📈

Index Entry Joins Crypto Titans

And now, Michael Saylor finds himself rubbing elbows with other digital asset magnates. It seems the latest billionaire craze is tech and crypto overlords whose fortunes are locked in the mercurial grasp of Bitcoin and other digital treasures. Saylor’s entry is timed right after a turbulent year where public companies saw their fortunes dance along to Bitcoin’s erratic beat. 🎶

But remember-this is just a snapshot of his current state. Like an Instagram influencer’s follower count, it can change faster than you can say “blockchain.” Investors and onlookers will keep their eyes peeled to see whether Saylor’s wealth will surge, plummet, or maintain its… err… strange rhythm.
