Michael Saylor Joins Bloomberg Billionaires Index at $7.37 Billion

Bloomberg credits his wealth to a concentrated stake in Strategy Inc. rooted in a Bitcoin‑heavy treasury.

Overview

  • Saylor debuts at No. 491 on the Bloomberg list after a roughly $1 billion year‑to‑date gain.
  • About $6.72 billion of his fortune is tied to his Strategy stake with roughly $650 million in cash, while Bloomberg excludes his previously disclosed 17,732 BTC due to lack of independent verification.
  • Strategy reports the largest corporate Bitcoin trove, totaling about 636,505 BTC after recent buys that included 4,048 BTC on Sept. 2 for $449 million at an average $110,981 per coin.
  • Q2 results reflected roughly $14 billion in unrealized gains from Bitcoin exposures, feeding outside discussion of possible S&P 500 inclusion after the company was left out in August despite meeting technical criteria.
  • Investor lawsuits accuse Strategy of misleading shareholders about the risks and financial impacts of its Bitcoin‑focused approach.
