Report: Cryptocurrency Billionaires of 2025 Among Biggest Losers

BlockBeats News, January 1st, Bloomberg Billionaires Index shows that due to factors such as the October cryptocurrency market "flash crash," many well-known figures in the cryptocurrency industry suffered heavy losses in 2025.

Strategy's Chairman Michael Saylor saw his assets shrink by $2.6 billion in the past 12 months, with a net worth of $3.8 billion. Bloomberg noted that Strategy's Bitcoin treasury strategy brought significant returns before Bitcoin hit a new high in early October, but the subsequent price drop caused Strategy's stock price to fall by more than half from its highs, and Saylor's net worth also decreased by nearly $6 billion from its peak.

In addition, Gemini co-founders Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss, as well as CZ, also suffered significant asset losses due to the sharp decline in the cryptocurrency market in October. Bloomberg stated that CZ's net worth has decreased by about 5% (about $50.9 billion) since January 1, 2025, while the Winklevoss brothers' assets have shrunk by 59% during the same period.

Nevertheless, Bloomberg also pointed out that global billionaires saw their wealth increase by about $2.2 trillion in 2025, with 8 individuals contributing about 25% of the increment, but the overall performance of cryptocurrency industry professionals lagged significantly.

In contrast, Circle CEO Jeremy Allaire's net worth has grown by about 149% since June 4th, benefiting from the US passing the "GENIUS Act" related to stablecoin payments.
