Michael Saylor, the co-founder and executive chairman of MicroStrategy, has made a big splash by joining the Bloomberg Billionaires Index with a net worth of $7.37 billion. His net worth has increased by $1 billion since the start of 2025. This marks a good 15.80% increase since the 1st January.

This success is a result of his courageous decision to invest a great deal of money in Bitcoin through MicroStrategy, which has held more than 252,000 BTC nowadays. He is ranked at 491st position on the index, and the proof of his strategy paying off in the fast-moving world of crypto.

In a recent turn of events, investors have decided to drop a lawsuit on MicroStrategy and Saylor. The case, which was originally class action, alleged the company misled people about the risks of its large Bitcoin investments.
After a while, the plaintiffs decided to end the legal fight voluntarily and this was a big relief for Saylor and his team. This move enables MicroStrategy to concentrate on its planning for the future without legal distractions. It also hints that more people could be waking up at the idea of using Bitcoin as an asset of the company.
On the other hand, while some companies are celebrating new achievements, MicroStrategy missed the opportunity of being listed on the S&P 500 once again. This week S&P Dow Jones Indices announced that Robinhood, AppLovin, and EMCOR Group will join the index, replacing MarketAxess Holdings, Caesars Entertainment and Enphase Energy.
These changes reflect the S&P 500’s adjustment to match the current trends and good performances of companies. Even with a solid market cap and huge holdings of bitcoin, MicroStrategy didn’t cut this time. This exclusion may disappoint some, but it doesn’t appear to slow Saylor’s momentum down.
Saylor’s Rise Shows Power of Bitcoin in Corporate Portfolios
Meanwhile, there’s a buzz in the crypto market since Bitcoin’s price sits at around $111,000 today. Saylor’s personal Bitcoin holdings, estimated at 17,732 BTC, contributes to his own wealth, but it’s not fully accounted for in his net worth due to issues with tracking it.
The Bloomberg Billionaires Index uses the stock sales of MicroStrategy and other investments to calculate his fortune after taxes and market changes. This recognition puts him on par with other tech top dogs, even though his company is going its own way. Experts believe his focus on Bitcoin could pay off even larger gains if the crypto market continues to rise.
Saylor’s entry into the Bloomberg Billionaires Index is a proud moment for him and MicroStrategy. The dropped lawsuit clears the way for the company to press ahead with its plans for Bitcoin.
Although it didn’t join the S&P 500 this time around, MicroStrategy’s role in the crypto world is strong. As the market continues to evolve, Saylor’s decisions will likely continue to shape his wealth and the future of corporate crypto investments. This news is a reminder of how far his vision has come to take him in just a few years.
