Officials from the Trump administration have disclosed their cryptocurrency investments ranging from tens of thousands to millions of dollars. Meanwhile, Trump is actively promoting a bill regarding stablecoins.
Crypto Investments in Trump's Administration
According to financial disclosures, several high-ranking officials in Trump's administration, including Vice President JD Vance, have significant investments in cryptocurrency. Vance reported owning between $250,000 and $500,000 in Bitcoin. At the Bitcoin 2025 Conference, he stated that he is one of the few candidates actually owning Bitcoin during his 2022 Senate campaign.
Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is recognized as the largest known holder among Cabinet members, owning Bitcoin valued between $1 million and $5 million. Other officials, such as Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy, disclosed ownership of digital assets valued between $502,000 and $1.3 million, while Medicare and Medicaid Services Administrator Mehmet Oz holds between $500,000 and $1 million in Bitcoin.
Legislative Initiatives on Stablecoins
On the legislative front, Trump has urged House Republicans to quickly approve the Senate-passed GENIUS Act, designed to create the first federal framework for regulating stablecoins. The Senate has already approved the measure, and Trump expressed hope for its rapid passage without modifications: 'Get it to my desk, ASAP. NO DELAYS, NO ADD ONS.' He called the bill 'incredible,' asserting that it would make America 'the undisputed leader in digital assets.'
General Observations on Crypto Holdings
While many top officials hold cryptocurrencies, some individuals, such as Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, have reportedly divested from their assets. Office of Management and Budget Director Russ Vought and FBI Director Kash Patel also exited their crypto positions. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt stated that Trump, Vance, and senior staff have completed required ethics briefings and financial disclosures. Reportedly, Trump is the most active crypto investor among federal officials, with over $53 million in crypto-related income last year through World Liberty Financial.
The interest in cryptocurrency among high-ranking officials in the Trump administration highlights financial strategies and legislative initiatives, underscoring the growing significance of digital assets in social and economic spheres.
