Michael Saylor Loses $4 Billion Amid Bitcoin and Stock Decline

Michael Saylor Loses Over $4 Billion Amid Decline in Bitcoin and Strategy Stock Value

  • Michael Saylor has lost over $4 billion of his personal wealth in the last six months due mainly to declines in Bitcoin (BTC) and MSTR stock prices.
  • As of May 2, 2025, Saylor owns approximately 19.6 million shares of Strategy class B common stock, valued at about $3.9 billion after a 52% decrease from six months ago.
  • Saylor’s personal bitcoin holdings include 17,732 BTC, worth about $1.6 billion based on the latest prices, though this quantity may have changed.
  • Saylor also has substantial other assets like real estate, yachts, and valuable internet domains, contributing to his total wealth.
  • Forbes estimates his net worth at $5.9 billion as of November 17, 2025, reflecting a 41% drop from six months prior.

Michael Saylor, founder of Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy), has reportedly lost more than $4 billion of his wealth in the past six months. The decline is mainly attributed to drops in bitcoin (BTC) prices and the value of his company’s stock, MSTR.

As of May 2, 2025, Saylor held 19,616,680 shares of Strategy class B common stock, a special class with 10 times the voting power, giving him 43.58% control over the company. Those shares are currently worth over $3.9 billion, a 52% decrease from the $8 billion value six months earlier. His class B stock remains his largest personal asset, and there has been no public indication of any change in his holdings since then.

Additional public filings show that Saylor has not reported insider transactions since April 2024, suggesting the number of shares he owns remains largely the same. In April 2024, he sold about $370 million worth of regular class A common stock after converting MSTR convertibles, continuing a planned stock sale that did not repeat in April 2025. The use of those funds is unknown.

Saylor also holds a significant amount of bitcoin outside of his company. In August 2024, he disclosed owning 17,732 BTC. If this amount is unchanged, its value today would be roughly $1.6 billion. Apart from Strategy equity and bitcoin, Saylor owns various other assets, including real estate, yachts, and valuable single-word .com domains. These undisclosed non-public assets likely add further to his overall net worth.

According to Forbes, as of November 17, 2025, Saylor’s net worth is estimated at $5.9 billion, reflecting a 41% decline from a $10.1 billion estimate six months prior. Forbes’ figure appears to combine his Strategy stock, bitcoin holdings, and roughly $400 million from other assets. Taking into account the decline in his class B stock and bitcoin value, his total loss could be approximately $4.2 billion in this period.

Saylor’s complete financial picture remains partly private, but public data shows substantial drops in his major asset categories, consistent with overall market trends in cryptocurrency and tech stocks.
