Recently, through voting, the U.S. Senate officially confirmed Paul Atkins, nominated by Trump, as the SEC Chairman. With this, the main government officials of Trump's current term have been largely confirmed, and this group will become key figures influencing the political and economic situation in the U.S. and even the world, as well as the cryptocurrency market over the next four years.

Thus, although major officials of the Trump administration are constrained by the U.S. government's ethics office, their cryptocurrency holdings may still become one of the important incentives affecting subsequent regulatory policies and favorable cryptocurrency projects. Based on this, Odaily Planet Daily will organize the cryptocurrency-related holdings of key figures in this article for readers' reference.

Vice President Vance: Focused on BTC

According to a previous report by Business Insider, the current U.S. Vice President JD Vance disclosed his personal financial information for 2023 in August 2024, showing that Vance personally holds assets of approximately $4 million; among them, related cryptocurrency assets are about $250,000 to $500,000, all in Bitcoin.

In addition, index funds related to cryptocurrency and funds from cryptocurrency asset management companies are also included.

White House AI and Crypto Director David Sacks: Previously held BTC, ETH, SOL, BITW, now fully divested

White House memorandum documents show that David Sacks, the U.S. AI and cryptocurrency affairs director, sold over $200 million in digital asset-related investments through his personal accounts and his company Craft Ventures before taking office, with approximately $85 million in income attributed to him personally, including Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, and the Bitwise 10 Crypto Index Fund (BITW), and sold shares in Coinbase (COIN) and Robinhood (HOOD).

Additionally, he exited investments in Multicoin Capital, Blockchain Capital, and Bitwise Asset Management, and began to gradually divest from certain private digital asset companies. Furthermore, Sacks still holds some equity in funds under Craft Ventures, which invest in companies like BitGo and Lightning Labs; these investments are difficult to fully exit due to liquidity constraints, accounting for less than 3.8% of his total investment assets.

This information has also been confirmed and responded to by David Sacks himself, with corresponding explanations from Multicoin Capital managing partner Kyle Samani and Bitwise CEO Hunter Horsley.

SEC Chairman Paul Atkins: Indirectly holds BTC

According to crypto KOL @0x_Todd's speculation, it is estimated that Paul Atkins' cryptocurrency-related assets are approximately $2 million to $6 million. His investment in Off The Chain Capital fund adopts a Bitcoin strategy (focusing on low-price investment opportunities in Bitcoin, such as Mt. Gox claims, Bitcoin mining machines, Bitcoin leverage, etc.), thus indirectly holding Bitcoin.

In addition, he holds shares in the crypto company Securitize and Anchorage Digital, the only crypto bank in the U.S., with asset levels of approximately $250,000 to $500,000.

U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent: Holds IBIT

U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent previously disclosed his personal asset documents in August 2024, showing that his total financial assets amount to approximately $521 million.

In comparison, his cryptocurrency assets only include the Bitcoin spot ETF IBIT, with asset levels of approximately $250,000 to $500,000, accounting for less than 0.1% of his personal assets.

Additionally, his investment portfolio includes cryptocurrency-related assets, such as the SPDR S&P 500 Trust Fund (SPY) and Invesco QQQ Trust Fund (QQQ), valued at over $100 million.

U.S. Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick: Holds 5% of Tether shares and several BTC

According to financial disclosure documents released by the U.S. Office of Government Ethics (OGE), current U.S. Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick disclosed his cryptocurrency assets and related investments in a report submitted on January 24, 2025.

Previously, he had clearly stated that he holds Bitcoin and views it as a globally freely traded asset "like gold"; his company Cantor Fitzgerald is a major partner of the stablecoin issuer Tether, managing approximately $39 billion in U.S. Treasury bonds. According to previous reports, Lutnick plans to transfer the company's Tether business relationship to his son Brandon Lutnick.

Additionally, it has been reported that Cantor Fitzgerald holds 5% of Tether's equity, valued at approximately $600 million; Cantor Fitzgerald also planned to launch a Bitcoin financing business last year, providing initial funding of up to $2 billion in leverage support for Bitcoin investors.

DOGE Department Head Musk: BTC and DOGE

As a "star player" in Trump's current government, Musk's cryptocurrency holdings have always been a focus of market attention.

According to data from the Arkham platform, on March 7, Musk's company Tesla increased its Bitcoin holdings to 11,509 BTC, an increase of approximately 1,789 BTC compared to the previous report of 9,720 BTC.

Just last November, Dogecoin UI designer DogeDesigner, who frequently interacted with Musk, shared an audio clip on the X platform in which Musk stated, "I still hold a lot of Dogecoin, and SpaceX still holds Bitcoin."
