Ricardo Salinas, the third richest man in Mexico, who has increased his wealth over the years, has announced his crypto money portfolio. Salinas stated that 60 percent of his liquid investment portfolio is in the leading cryptocurrency Bitcoin.
Famous billionaire: I have a large amount of Bitcoin in my portfolio
Ricardo Salinas, the third richest man in Mexico and the 154th richest man in the world, with a net worth of $12.8 billion according to Bloomberg Miami Bitcoin 2022 At his conference, he said that he does not own any bonds, instead preferring to invest mostly in Bitcoin. Regarding his cryptocurrency and other investments, Salinas states:
I have absolutely no bonds. I have a liquid portfolio – I have 60 percent in Bitcoin and Bitcoin stocks followed by 40 percent in fixed asset stocks like oil and gas and gold miners.
As the head of home appliance and electronics brand Grupo Elektra, Salinas has long been known for his fascination with the leading cryptocurrency Bitcoin. The famous billionaire posted a series of book recommendations on Twitter in October 2020, including the “Bitcoin Standard” by economist Saifedean Ammous.
I want to thank @TheBitcoinConf for giving me the opportunity to speak about “what’s next”, it was a pleasure to meet you all 😌.

Leading cryptocurrency adoption is spreading
Salinas shortly after these book recommendations admitted that he keeps Bitcoin in his portfolio. Subsequently, Salinas began to fully demonstrate his passion for Bitcoin. As Kriptokoin.com reported earlier, Salinas has also changed his Twitter bio to include the largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization, joining the likes of MicroStrategy’s Michael Saylor and Skybridge’s Anthony Scaramucci.
Controlling more than half of the Mexican motorcycle market, Salinas has been talking about Bitcoin frequently on social media since then. On the other hand, he is not the only Mexican in Miami currently excited about Bitcoin. Earlier today, Senator Indira Kempis, a pro-Bitcoin politician representing the State of Nuevo León, said she would propose to make Bitcoin a legal currency in Latin America’s second largest economy. It doesn’t seem clear how realistic the announcement is, however.
