#Tiger21 , a network of wealthy investors with a total portfolio worth $200 billion, has allocated $6 billion to invest in cryptocurrencies, accounting for about 1-3% of the portfolio. This is a sign that the ultra-wealthy are increasingly interested in crypto as a long-term store of value.
Bitcoin - the “gold” of the new era?
In an interview with CNBC on February 5, Michael Sonnenfeldt, founder and chairman of Tiger21, emphasized that Bitcoin is increasingly resembling gold, as both are assets that are not dependent on government monetary policy.
According to him, Bitcoin is an important store of value, especially for countries with unstable economies like #argentina and Lebanon. Some Tiger21 members have even gone “all in” on crypto, placing great trust in the long-term potential of this market.
Tiger21 - the powerful investment network
Tiger21 is an organization exclusively for investors, entrepreneurs, and executives with substantial assets, with a membership requirement of having at least $20 million in investable assets.
Founded in 1999, Tiger21 has now expanded to 53 cities globally with over 1,600 members, becoming one of the most influential personal investment networks in the world.
Tiger21's investment portfolio focuses on high-risk assets but with significant potential returns:
✅ 80% of capital is allocated to real estate and private equity.
✅ The cash holding ratio is below 10%, the lowest in 17 years, indicating that they are heavily betting on investment channels rather than holding cash.
The crypto market is volatile but full of opportunities
Currently, the crypto market capitalization has recovered to $3.3 trillion, after “evaporating” $400 billion in early February due to trade tensions between the US, Mexico, Canada, and China.
A notable development is #bitcoindominance (the proportion of Bitcoin in total market capitalization) which has dropped to 61.42%, after peaking at nearly 63% on February 3. This could create opportunities for altcoins to gain market share and attract funds from investors.
Conclusion
Tiger21's participation shows that crypto is no longer just a playground for retail investors but is gradually becoming a choice for the ultra-wealthy. With this enormous influx of funds, Bitcoin and the cryptocurrency market may continue to experience strong growth in the future.
