Tron Founder Justin Sun is Suing Bloomberg For…
Justin Sun, the founder of Tron blockchain, has taken legal action against Bloomberg, alleging the media outlet published false and private information about his cryptocurrency holdings. The lawsuit centers around his profile in the Bloomberg Billionaires Index, which Sun claims misrepresented his assets and breached a confidentiality agreement.
The dispute stems from Sun’s profile on the Bloomberg Billionaires Index, a daily ranking of the world’s wealthiest individuals, updated using market data, financial disclosures, and interviews. For public figures in traditional industries, the index typically lists an estimated value of company shares and other investments. However, for cryptocurrency holders like Sun, the index usually provides a total estimated value of digital assets rather than breaking down each token.
According to the lawsuit filed on August 1, 2025, in a Delaware federal court, Sun’s team shared his financial data with Bloomberg after receiving clear promises that the information would remain confidential, be used only for verification purposes, and be deleted afterward. The complaint claims internal Bloomberg messages confirm these commitments were made by their staff.
Sun asserts he shared his financial data because Bloomberg assured him they would not publish it. He is seeking both temporary and permanent injunctions to prevent further publication, along with legal costs.
