Mexican billionaire Ricardo Salinas Pliego said he has increased his exposure to Bitcoin so that the cryptocurrency now represents about 70% of his investment portfolio. Salinas, the country’s third-richest person, predicted the token would eventually surpass gold’s roughly $15 trillion market capitalisation and rise to at least $800,000 per coin, calling it “the new global reserve currency.” Salinas’s remarks added to a fresh wave of bullish commentary from prominent Bitcoin advocates. MicroStrategy founder Michael Saylor reposted his trademark “Bitcoin Tracker” graphic on social media, stating “Nothing stops this orange,” a phrase he typically uses before announcing new purchases. Crypto-focused media outlet Cryptodotnews separately reported—without company confirmation—that MicroStrategy’s next buy could total about $1.08 billion. The public pronouncements underscore continued enthusiasm for Bitcoin among a small group of high-profile investors even after the token’s sharp swings. Neither Salinas nor Saylor disclosed the timing of any additional transactions or provided further financial details.
