Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates has pledged to liquidate virtually his entire $108 billion fortune by 2045 through the Gates Foundation, marking a seismic shift in billionaire philanthropy. The accelerated timeline—20 years sooner than his prior commitment—has reignited his longstanding feud with Tesla CEO Elon Musk, who has criticized foreign aid spending.

The Gates Foundation’s annual budget will grow to $9 billion by 2026, with projections suggesting $200 billion in total distributions over two decades. This strategic deployment of capital could indirectly influence tech investment landscapes, including blockchain infrastructure favored by crypto-native philanthropists.
