The Bank of America Board of Directors approved CEO Brian Moynihan's compensation of $41 million for 2025, a 17% increase compared to the previous year. The executive's base salary remains at $1.5 million, with no cash bonuses provided — the bulk of his compensation is provided in the form of $39.5 million in stock options.

The increase in compensation follows a strong financial year for the bank. Net income increased 13% to $30.5 billion, while diluted earnings per share increased 19% to $3.81. Revenue increased 7% to $113.1 billion, driven by record net interest income. The Board of Directors emphasized Moynihan's role in delivering sustainable growth for shareholders while simultaneously expanding investments in technology, people, and network development. By the end of the year, the bank improved its efficiency ratio to 62%, and its operating leverage increased by approximately 250 basis points.

Financial strength also remains high: the bank's assets are estimated at $3.4 trillion, including $201 billion in CET1 capital and approximately $975 billion in average global liquidity. The loan portfolio increased by 8%, and deposits by 3%. The bank's shares have appreciated by 25% in 2025 after rising 31% in 2024, and its market capitalization has grown by 19% since the end of last year.
