Author｜Wenser

Recently, after voting, the U.S. Senate officially confirmed that Trump's nomination Paul Atkins is the SEC chairman. Since then, the main government officials during Trump's current term have basically confirmed their position, and this group of people will also become key figures that will affect the political and economic situation in the United States and the world in the next four years and the cryptocurrency market.

As a result, although major officials of the Trump administration are stymied by the US government's Ethics Office, the crypto positions of the public may still become one of the important incentives to affect subsequent regulatory policies and the benefits of cryptocurrency projects. Based on this, Odaily Planet Daily will organize the cryptocurrency-related positions of the main characters in this article for readers' reference.

David Sacks, head of AI and encryption at White House: He once held BTC,

The White House memorandum documents show that David Sacks, director of AI and cryptocurrency, sold more than $200 million in digital asset-related investments through his individual and his company Craft Ventures before taking office, with approximately $85 million in revenue owned by his individual, including Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana and the Bitwise 10 Crypto Index Fund (BITW), and sold shares in Coinbase (COIN) and Robinhood (HOOD).

In addition, he also withdrew from investments related to Multicoin Capital, Blockchain Capital and Bitwise Asset Management, and began to gradually withdraw his holdings in some private digital asset companies. In addition, Sacks still holds interests in some funds under Craft Ventures, which invest in companies such as BitGo and Lightning Labs. These investments are difficult to completely withdraw due to liquidity restrictions, accounting for less than 3.8% of its total investment assets.

The above information has also been confirmed and responded by David Sacks himself, and Multicoin Capital managing partner Kyle Samani and Bitwise CEO Hunter Horsley also explained this accordingly.

SEC Chairman Paul Atkins: Indirect holdings in BTC

In addition, it also holds shares in the crypto company Securities and Anchorage Digital, the only crypto bank in the United States, with an asset magnitude of about US$250,000-500,000.

US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent: Holding IBIT
