Forbes has released its 2024 global billionaire list, and it's truly astounding! Last year, there were only 9 tycoons from the cryptocurrency field on the list, but this year, it surged to 17! Their combined holdings of crypto assets, stock investments, and personal wealth amount to a staggering $93 billion, more than doubling the wealth of the 9 billionaires who made the list last year!
The founders of the U.S. publicly traded company MicroStrategy, Michael Saylor, and the CEO of the U.S. publicly traded exchange Coinbase, Brian Armstrong, have seen incredible increases in their fortunes! Thanks to the skyrocketing value of Bitcoin, Michael Saylor's net worth soared from $760 million last year to $4.4 billion, ranking him fourth in the crypto world! Meanwhile, Brian Armstrong skyrocketed from $2.2 billion last year to a staggering $11.2 billion!
The four major shareholders of the stablecoin USDT also made their debut on the Forbes billionaire list for the first time. |
