Finance, Markets, and Satire by Matt Levine

Matt Levine is the Bloomberg Opinion columnist behind the immensely popular Money Stuff newsletter, which reaches over 300,000 subscribers daily. He began at Bloomberg in 2013 after writing for Dealbreaker. Prior to journalism, Levine worked as an investment banker at Goldman Sachs, a mergers & acquisitions lawyer at Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz, and clerked for the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit. These experiences underpin his ability to dissect finance with humor and insight.

Levine’s “Crypto Story,” a 40,000-word essay published in Bloomberg Businessweek, distilled complex crypto concepts into accessible prose. In August 2025, he argued that a blanket SEC ban on crypto is unfeasible, advocating regulated integration instead. His commentary is closely read by regulators, with portions of Money Stuff regularly cited in U.S. court filings and industry white papers.

He is considered one of the most influential finance writers globally. Levine’s annual income from Bloomberg and speaking engagements is estimated between $500,000 and $750,000, and his newsletter has become a key resource for hedge funds and law firms analyzing crypto litigation and policy risk.
