At Consensus 2026 in Miami, Kevin O’Leary, Chairman of O’Leary Ventures, shared his latest investment insights, highlighting a notable shift in asset performance. He revealed that high-end sports cards, exemplified by his $12.93 million Kobe-Jordan card necklace, have recently outperformed his stakes in cryptocurrency, the S&P 500, and private equity. This market trend prompted O’Leary to streamline his digital portfolio drastically, cutting down his crypto holdings from 27 tokens to just three primary assets.
Beyond collectibles, O’Leary discussed his recent focus on energy investments, particularly land acquisitions in Alberta and Utah. He also expressed skepticism about the blockchain sector's current state, pointing out the limited utility of most crypto chains and the general lack of interest in many competing networks. His comments underscore a more cautious and diversified investment strategy amid evolving financial landscapes.
