Most Influential: Gilles Roth

Gilles Roth, Luxembourg's Finance Minister, was recognized as influential for guiding the nation to become the first among the 20-member eurozone to invest in Bitcoin during the second half of 2025. Roth directed the allocation of 1% of the country's €745 million sovereign wealth fund into the cryptocurrency. Luxembourg for Finance, chaired by Roth, stated this move demonstrated commitment to supporting future-oriented investment trends. Speaking later, Roth clarified that Luxembourg intended to hold its Bitcoin investment for the long term, stating, "Luxembourg HODLs," and expressed confidence that other nations would follow their lead, emphasizing that they were only interested in Bitcoin, referencing Michael Saylor's sentiment that "there is no second best."
