(Background: Who are the radical aides among Trump’s “Crypto Seven Warriors” and the Vice President?)
Recently, following a vote, the U.S. Senate officially confirmed Paul Atkins, nominated by Trump, as the SEC ###. With this confirmation, the main government officials during Trump’s current term have been largely established, and these individuals will become key figures in influencing the political and economic landscape of the United States and the global cryptocurrency market over the next four years.
Therefore, despite the constraints imposed on major officials of the Trump administration by the U.S. Office of Government Ethics, their cryptocurrency holdings may still become a significant incentive affecting subsequent regulatory policies and the favorable conditions for cryptocurrency projects. Based on this, Odaily Planet Daily will organize the cryptocurrency-related holdings of the main figures in this article for readers’ reference.
Vice President Vance: Focused on BTC
According to previous reports from Business Insider, current U.S. Vice President JD Vance disclosed in his personal financial information for 2023 in August 2024 that he holds approximately $4 million in assets, of which the related cryptocurrency assets amount to around $250,000 to $500,000, all in Bitcoin.
Additionally, index funds and cryptocurrency asset management company funds related to cryptocurrency are also included.

White House AI and Crypto Director David Sacks: Previously Held BTC, ETH, SOL, BITW, Now Cleared
White House memorandum documents indicate that David Sacks, the U.S. AI and cryptocurrency affairs director, sold over $200 million in digital asset-related investments through his personal and company Craft Ventures before taking office, with approximately $85 million in income belonging 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 related to Multicoin Capital, Blockchain Capital, and Bitwise Asset Management, and began to gradually withdraw from holdings in some private digital asset companies. Moreover, Sacks still holds some equity in the Craft Ventures fund, which invests in companies like BitGo and Lightning Labs. These investments are difficult to completely 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 Multicoin Capital managing partner Kyle Samani and Bitwise CEO Hunter Horsley providing corresponding explanations.
SEC ### Paul Atkins: Indirectly Holds BTC
According to cryptocurrency KOL @0x_Todd’s speculation, an initial estimate puts Paul Atkins’ cryptocurrency-related assets at around $2 million to $6 million. His investment in Off The Chain Capital adopts a Bitcoin strategy (focusing on low-price investment opportunities in Bitcoin, such as debt in Mentougou, Bitcoin mining machines, Bitcoin leverage, etc.), thus indirectly holding Bitcoin.
Additionally, he holds company shares in the cryptocurrency company Securitize and the only current cryptocurrency bank in the U.S., Anchorage Digital, 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 in his personal property file in August 2024 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 around $250,000 to $500,000, accounting for less than 0.1% of his personal assets.
Furthermore, his investment portfolio also 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 holdings of cryptocurrency assets and related investments in a report submitted on January 24, 2025.
Previously, he 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 prior information, Lutnick plans to transfer the company’s Tether business relationship to his son, Brandon Lutnick.
Additionally, reports indicate that Cantor Fitzgerald holds a 5% stake in Tether, valued at approximately $600 million; last year, Cantor Fitzgerald even planned to launch a Bitcoin financing business to provide initial funding support of up to $2 billion 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 focal point of market attention.
According to data from the Arkham platform, on March 7, the Bitcoin holdings of Musk’s company Tesla increased to 11,509 BTC, which is about 1,789 BTC more than the 9,720 BTC balance reported in the previous financial report.
Just last November, Dogecoin UI designer DogeDesigner, who frequently interacted with Musk, shared an audio clip on the X platform where Musk stated, “I still hold a large amount of Dogecoin, and SpaceX also still holds Bitcoin.”
