In 2025, Anthony Scaramucci, the founder of SkyBridge Capital and a notable advocate for cryptocurrency, has maintained a strong belief in digital assets, especially Bitcoin (BTC) and Solana (SOL). Given his public statements regarding these assets, one might wonder how a hypothetical investment reflecting his preferences has fared this year.
Scaramucci has expressed that over 50% of his net worth is currently allocated to Bitcoin, a position that evolved as he increased his stake alongside rising prices in previous market cycles. In addition to Bitcoin, he has emphasized Solana, Ethereum (ETH), and Avalanche (AVAX) as pivotal blockchain platforms likely to lead the industry in the future. During a discussion on December 18, Scaramucci highlighted Solana“s importance in a diversified crypto portfolio, suggesting that the market is approaching a point where only a select few major blockchains will emerge as enduring champions.
According to Scaramucci, “My largest personal position, even greater than Bitcoin, is my position in Solana and I have it all staked.” He also mentioned holding Avalanche and Bitcoin, while maintaining a “very small position” in Ethereum.
Now, let”s analyze how a $1,000 investment, evenly distributed among Bitcoin, Solana, Ethereum, and Avalanche at the beginning of 2025, has performed. With the current prices as of December 25, Bitcoin has seen a decline of about 6–8% year-to-date. Ethereum has dropped roughly 12%, Solana is down approximately 36%, and Avalanche has experienced a significant decline of about 66%. As a result, this balanced portfolio would be valued around $680 to $710 today, reflecting a loss of approximately 29–32% for the year.
Despite this short-term setback, Scaramucci has consistently asserted that his investment approach is focused on the long-term rather than short-term fluctuations. He views Bitcoin as evolving into a digital form of gold, while platforms like Solana and Avalanche symbolize strategic bets on the future infrastructure of blockchain technology.
Interestingly, a similar $1,000 investment made in 2024, which included Polkadot (DOT) instead of Ethereum, yielded a value of about $1,595, showcasing a robust gain of 59%. This case illustrates a well-known principle in the cryptocurrency market: concentrated investments in high-potential assets can lead to substantial returns during bullish phases but can also incur sharp declines when market sentiment shifts.
For those intrigued by Scaramucci”s insights and his views on the evolving landscape of digital assets, the full interview is available for viewing below.
