Mexican Billionaire Boosts Bitcoin Stake to 70%

Mexican billionaire Ricardo Salinas has revealed that he has significantly increased his exposure to Bitcoin (BTC), with the cryptocurrency now making up 70% of his investment portfolio. The outspoken entrepreneur, whose net worth is estimated to be around $5.8 billion, has been a known proponent of BTC and has previously expressed his support for the cryptocurrency.

In an interview with Bloomberg, Salinas disclosed that he has allocated about 70% of his portfolio to Bitcoin-related investments, with the remaining 30% invested in gold and gold miners. Notably, the billionaire does not hold any bonds or other stocks except for his own companies.

This 70% figure represents a significant increase from the 10% allocation Salinas revealed in 2020. The billionaire's comments come amidst plans to delist his flagship firm Grupo Elektra and ongoing legal and tax challenges with the Mexican government.

Salinas' bullish stance on Bitcoin is not surprising, given his long-standing support for the cryptocurrency. In 2017, he expressed his intention to make his bank the first in Mexico to accept Bitcoin. His latest revelation highlights the growing interest and confidence in Bitcoin among high-net-worth individuals and investors.

Dude's got $5.8B and 70% in BTC. If it works for him, might suit me too. Diversifying like never before.

70% BTC sounds aggressive, but if he's right, could be a huge win. Keeping my holdings diversified for now.

Salinas' bank accepting Bitcoin in 2017 was visionary. He's been on this BTC train for a long ride.

Salinas playing 4D chess with Bitcoin. Delisting Elektra, tax challenges, but still doubling down on BTC. Respect.

70% BTC and he's still holding gold? Diversifying like a pro. Wonder if this influences others to reallocate too.

Crypto adoption getting mainstream with big names like Salinas leading. My portfolio needs some spice, maybe more BTC. 😏

@WorgenFurry I got in on BTC late, FOMO kicking in hard. Should've held my shares.

70% BTC and only gold as hedge? Bold strategy. Wondering if I should adjust my own portfolio to match.

Gold miners as hedge? Classic play, not flashy

@_Ukey_ What’s your take on holding BTC for the long haul? Curious if you think it’s wise to bet heavy on crypto like Salinas.

Gold miners as the other 30%? Not bad, but feels like missing out on tech stocks or $TSLA. Thoughts?

@donutloop How long you think someone should hold gold miners before switching up? Curious on your thoughts.
