Goldman Sachs CEO Reveals He Owns Bitcoin After Public Criticism
Goldman Sachs CEO David Solomon owns a minimal amount of bitcoin and calls for clear, rules-based U.S. crypto regulations to foster safe market operations and bank coexistence.
- On Wednesday at the World Liberty Forum, David Solomon, Goldman Sachs CEO, disclosed he owns a `very, very limited` amount of bitcoin and urged clearer U.S. crypto regulation.
- Weeks after a U.S. Senate committee advanced a national crypto market bill, the measure has stalled over whether digital-asset companies can offer rewards or stablecoin payments, which banks oppose.
- Goldman Sachs has been ramping up research on tokenization, prediction markets, and stablecoins, with David Solomon saying, `We touch all that stuff` despite limited client exposure.
- With bitcoin down nearly 50% since October, it traded at $66,500, down about 1% on Wednesday, leaving El Salvador government’s holdings worth about $500 million, down from $800 million last year.
- Solomon argued regulation is the key constraint, saying clearer rules and easing burdens could allow Goldman Sachs to re-engage with tokenization and stablecoins as regulators provide greater latitude.
