Twitch streamer and FIDE Master Alexandra Botez has revealed that cryptocurrency accounts for more than 40% of her liquid net worth. During a livestream on May 9, 2025, Botez's attention was drawn to Twitch user apad64's comment, which asked the content creator what percentage of her savings were in cryptocurrency.
Claiming that the figure would "upset" her parents, the American-Canadian personality asked her live audience to guess the approximate percentage. She then noticed that Twitch user "papabotez," Alexandra and Andrea Botez's father, stated that he would be "angry" if the figure exceeded 40%.
The chess content creator responded:
"Please don't ask this, this is going to make my parents upset. Guess what percent of my liquid net worth that I hold in crypto. I'm just curious what you guys think. I said percent. Okay. Interesting guesses. A little interesting guesses. And obviously, it fluctuates depending on the price. 'I thought 10, but it's now going to 50.' 'If it's more than 40, it's going to make me angry.' It's more than 40, Dad. And I'm not going to answer anymore. It is more than 40. Yeah, diamond hand tested for real, man. Yeah, my dad is going to yell at me."

"I've lost a lot overnight" - Alexandra Botez responds to those asking how she "sleeps soundly" after streamer reveals having her liquid net worth over 40% in crypto
At the three-hour-34-minute mark of the livestream, Alexandra Botez responded to a fan asking her how she "sleeps soundly" after revealing the percentage of her liquid net worth in cryptocurrency.
Claiming to have "lost a lot overnight," the 29-year-old stated:
"'How do you sleep soundly?' I mean, I've had... I've lost a lot overnight before, and I've been holding since 2016. So, I'm starting to get used to it now. Maybe it's like Stockholm Syndrome."
Alexandra Botez made headlines last year after she and fellow streamer Ludwig Ahgren accused a poker company of failing to pay "dozens of creators" for sponsored livestreams.
