He has invested in over 40 companies that have had successful IPOs or mergers, and is the second largest individual shareholder of stablecoin firm Circle, which went public in June 2025. Breyer is a trustee of the American Film Institute in Los Angeles and SFMOMA in San Francisco and a board member of investment firm Blackstone.
