🇸🇦 Ricardo Salinas told his wife to mortgage her house to buy Bitcoin — and his net worth is $5 billion
Mexican billionaire Ricardo Salinas Pliego, whose estimated net worth sits around $5 billion, publicly confirmed that he told his wife to mortgage their home and buy $BTC with the proceeds. Salinas is one of the most publicly committed Bitcoin maximalists among the global ultra-wealthy, having first disclosed significant $BTC holdings years ago and consistently advocated for it as the primary store of value against currency debasement in emerging markets. The house mortgage story is anecdotal but illustrative of the conviction level that long-term $BTC bulls maintain at these price levels — genuine believers who treat every price drawdown as an accumulation opportunity rather than a reason to reduce exposure. In the context of a market sitting near cycle lows with Fear and Greed at 18, this kind of public conviction from credible individuals functions as a sentiment counter-signal worth tracking.
