Mexican Billionaire Ricardo Salinas Allocates 70% of His Portfolio to Bitcoin

Mexican billionaire Ricardo Salinas, owner of Grupo Salinas, said that 70% of his investment portfolio is now allocated to Bitcoin and Bitcoin-related assets. The remaining 30% is held in gold and shares of his own companies, while he holds no bonds and no stocks other than his own. This marks a major shift from 2020, when his Bitcoin exposure stood at just 10%, underscoring how strongly his conviction has grown over time. Salinas, whose net worth is estimated at $4.8 billion, has long been one of Latin America’s most outspoken Bitcoin advocates and has said he wants Banco Azteca to become the first bank in Mexico to accept Bitcoin. His comments come during a turbulent period: Grupo Elektra’s shares fell 70% last year, wiping out nearly $5 billion of his fortune, and he remains in legal disputes with the Mexican government over alleged unpaid taxes. Even so, Salinas has not backed away from Bitcoin. Instead, he continues to frame it as a central pillar of his financial strategy. His position adds to the broader narrative of Bitcoin as a long-term store of value and highlights how some high-profile business leaders are using BTC not as a side bet, but as a core portfolio allocation.
