Mexican billionaire Ricardo Salinas Pliego, founder and head of Grupo Salinas and the second-richest person in Mexico with an estimated net worth of $13.2 billion, revealed on social media that 10% of his liquid portfolio is held in Bitcoin.

Salinas Pliego clarified in an exchange with Kraken's Dan Held that the 10% allocation applies specifically to his liquid holdings rather than his entire net worth, adding that the remaining 90% is invested in precious metals mining companies. He noted that he first entered Bitcoin in 2016 through Grayscale when the asset traded around $800.

Prior to the disclosure, Salinas Pliego criticized government-issued fiat currency as vulnerable to inflationary expropriation and recommended Saifedean Ammous's book "The Bitcoin Standard," arguing that the digital asset serves to protect citizens from state expropriation.

The right is the site’s own call on the asset, from indicators and analysis. Press tone feeds no score and no signal: on the only corpus this site has measured, daily tone tracked the move that had already happened and showed no measurable link with what followed.
