Justin Sun, one of the most controversial names in the crypto world, is back in the spotlight over his wealth as of 2025.
Founder of TRON, CEO of BitTorrent, and majority shareholder in exchanges HTX (formerly Huobi) and Poloniex, Sun manages billions of dollars in both on-chain and off-chain assets.
A comprehensive analysis by analytics platform Arcam Intelligence estimates Sun’s net worth to be between $5 billion and $8 billion, based on both verified crypto wallet holdings and exchange holdings.
A significant portion of Mr. Sun’s wealth is tied to the cryptocurrency exchange he owns. HTX in particular stands out as a key component of Sun’s overall wealth. The company’s average daily trading volume is $3.4 billion, which equates to approximately $1.2 trillion in annual trading volume. This suggests that HTX’s market cap could be between $6 billion and $10 billion.
Given Son’s large stock market holdings, this investment is believed to account for the bulk of his wealth. Poloniex, on the other hand, is smaller, with a daily trading volume of about $1 billion and a total trading volume estimated at $150 million to $200 million.
According to Arcam data, Sun has over $2.1 billion in verified on-chain assets. The portfolio includes approximately $600 million in TRX, approximately $400 million in Bitcoin, and investments in various stablecoins and DeFi protocols. It is also reported that Sun may be linked to 142 wallet addresses. If these wallets are confirmed to be his, his total assets could reach even higher levels.
Some sources, most notably Bloomberg, estimate Sun’s net worth much higher than that, at around $12.5 billion. However, this estimate is difficult to verify due to the high volatility of crypto asset prices and the lack of transparency surrounding off-chain investments.
Sun’s wealth is closely tied to the TRON ecosystem he founded. While the TRON network, which he launched in 2017, stands out among smart contract platforms, the price performance of the TRX token has a direct impact on Sun’s personal wealth. His purchase of BitTorrent for approximately $140 million in 2018 and subsequent launch of the BTT token is also considered a strategic move to diversify his wealth.
After all, Justin Sun’s assets are much more than $ 1 billion, but it is impossible to provide a definite figure. His confirmed on-chain assets are over $2 billion, but his total net worth is estimated to be between $5 billion and $8 billion, considering his holdings on exchanges like HTX and Poloniex, his art collection, and other personal investments.
