Anthony Scaramucci, the founder of SkyBridge Capital, has continued to promote his belief in cryptocurrencies throughout 2025, with a strong focus on Bitcoin (BTC) and Solana (SOL). Given his public investment preferences, a hypothetical investment made at the beginning of this year could shed light on the current market dynamics.
Scaramucci has disclosed that over 50% of his personal wealth is now invested in Bitcoin, a significant increase from earlier allocations. He also views Solana, Ethereum (ETH), and Avalanche (AVAX) as pivotal blockchain platforms for the future. In a discussion on December 18, Scaramucci emphasized Solana”s potential in a diversified portfolio, arguing that the crypto space will likely see a consolidation of major blockchains as long-term leaders.
According to his statements, Scaramucci has positioned himself heavily in Solana, even more than in Bitcoin, and has staked his holdings. He indicated a minor stake in Ethereum, while holding substantial investments in Bitcoin and Avalanche.
When analyzing a hypothetical portfolio of $1,000 divided evenly among Bitcoin, Solana, Ethereum, and Avalanche at the start of 2025, the results illustrate the market”s volatility. As of December 25, Bitcoin has seen a decline of around 6-8% year-to-date, while Ethereum has dropped approximately 12%. Solana has experienced a more significant downturn of about 36%, and Avalanche has plummeted by around 66%.
In total, this evenly distributed investment would now be valued at roughly $680-$710, translating to a loss of around 29-32% throughout the year.
Despite the disappointing short-term results, Scaramucci remains committed to a long-term investment strategy. He has consistently maintained that his thesis is designed for multi-year growth rather than short-term gains. He believes Bitcoin is transitioning into a digital gold equivalent, while Solana and Avalanche represent foundational investments for the long haul.
Interestingly, a prior hypothetical investment of $1,000 split among these cryptocurrencies in 2024, which included Polkadot (DOT) instead of Ethereum, yielded a value of approximately $1,595, highlighting a robust 59% gain during that period.
This scenario underscores a recurring theme in the cryptocurrency market: while concentrated investments in high-potential assets can yield significant returns in bullish trends, they also pose risks of substantial losses when market sentiment shifts.
