Does Kevin O’Leary Invest in Bitcoin?

Bitcoin has been on a tear lately with the cryptocurrency up more than 40% in the last month. The rally has been driven by a number of factors including institutional adoption, macroeconomic uncertainty, and most recently, comments from Tesla CEO Elon Musk.

One of the most notable investors in the space is Kevin O’Leary, also known as “Mr. Wonderful” from the popular TV show Shark Tank.

O’Leary has been a Bitcoin believer for some time now and even though he’s not invested directly in the cryptocurrency, he has put money into companies that are involved in Bitcoin.

NOTE: WARNING: Investing in Bitcoin (or any cryptocurrency) carries a high level of risk. It is not known whether Kevin O’Leary has invested in Bitcoin, or if he would ever consider investing in Bitcoin. Before investing in any cryptocurrency, please do your own research and speak with a qualified financial advisor. Never invest more than you can afford to lose.

In an interview with CNBC back in 2017, O’Leary said that he thought Bitcoin was a “fraud” but he was open to investing in companies that were involved in the cryptocurrency space. And that’s exactly what he’s done.

In 2019, O’Leary invested in BitPay, a Bitcoin payment processor, through his venture capital firm Cookie jar. More recently, O’Leary has also invested in BlockFi, a cryptocurrency lending platform.

So does Kevin O’Leary invest in Bitcoin? While he doesn’t own any Bitcoin directly, he has put money into companies that are involved in the cryptocurrency space. And given his positive comments about Bitcoin in recent months, it seems likely that his investment portfolio will continue to grow.
