Recently, through voting, the U.S. Senate officially confirmed Paul Atkins, nominated by Trump, as SEC Chairman. With this, the main government officials during Trump's current term have been basically confirmed, and these individuals will become key figures influencing the political and economic landscape and cryptocurrency market in the next 4 years.
Therefore, although the main officials of the Trump administration are constrained by the U.S. government's ethics office, their crypto holdings may still become an important incentive affecting subsequent regulatory policies and cryptocurrency project benefits. Based on this, Odaily will compile the cryptocurrency-related holdings of key figures in this article for readers' reference.
Vice President Vance: Focusing on BTC
According to a previous Business Insider report, the current U.S. Vice President JD Vance's personal 2023 financial information disclosed in August 2024 shows that Vance's personal assets are approximately $4 million; among which, related crypto assets are around $250,000-$500,000, all in Bitcoin.
Additionally, crypto asset-related index funds and crypto asset management company funds are also included.
White House AI and Crypto Director David Sacks: Previously Held BTC, ETH, SOL, BITW, Now Liquidated
White House memo documents show that the U.S. AI and Cryptocurrency Affairs Director David Sacks sold over $200 million in digital asset-related investments before taking office, with approximately $85 million in personal income, including Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, and the Bitwise 10 Crypto Index Fund (BITW), and sold his shares in Coinbase (COIN) and Robinhood (HOOD).
Additionally, he has exited investments in Multicoin Capital, Blockchain Capital, and Bitwise Asset Management, and began gradually divesting from some private digital asset company holdings. Sacks still holds equity in some Craft Ventures funds, which invest in companies like BitGo and Lightning Labs, and these investments are difficult to fully exit due to liquidity constraints, accounting for less than 3.8% of his total investment assets.
The above information has been confirmed and responded to by David Sacks himself, with Multicoin Capital Managing Partner Kyle Samani and Bitwise CEO Hunter Horsley also providing corresponding explanations.
