2025 Cryptocurrency Billionaire List Revealed: Zhao Changpeng Steadily Holds First Place

This year's most stable asset is not Bitcoin, but rather those who had already bet on Bitcoin and exchanges—Forbes + Bloomberg's latest list presents the top 10 crypto billionaires all at once.

1 Zhao Changpeng (CZ): Binance CEO, holding BNB + early BTC, net worth ≈ $96 billion

2 Brian Armstrong: Coinbase head, stocks + crypto assets ≈ $28 billion

3 Tyler Winklevoss & Cameron Winklevoss: Twin brothers, early Bitcoin holders ≈ $21 billion

4 Tim Draper: Venture capital mogul, didn't sell 30,000 BTC in 2014, now ≈ $18.5 billion

5 Chris Larsen: Co-founder of Ripple, XRP holdings ≈ $17.5 billion

6 Michael Saylor: MicroStrategy's aggressive BTC buyer, personal + company holdings ≈ $16 billion

7 Justin Sun: Huobi + TRON + stablecoin landscape, ≈ $13 billion

8 Jed McCaleb: Early miner of XRP and XLM, ≈ $12 billion

9 Matthew Roszak: Founder of Bloq + early investor, ≈ $11.5 billion

10 Anthony Pompliano: Podcast + fund dual engine, ≈ $10.5 billion

(The list does not count Satoshi Nakamoto, who holds 1.1 million BTC worth $110 billion, but is no longer in the limelight)

As the old saying goes, the early bird gets the worm—these billionaires share a common point: they got in the game between 2012-2016, either by building exchanges themselves or by holding onto Bitcoin. Now, newcomers want to make the list? They must first find the next 'exchange-level' opportunity, a challenge as difficult as mining the first BTC back then. #币圈首富
