Bitcoin in the White House
Six out of 22 Trump cabinet members disclosed Bitcoin or indirect cryptocurrency investments. Notable officials include Robert Kennedy Jr., Russell Vought, Tulsi Gabbard, Pete Hegseth, Scott Bessent, and Sean Duffy, each holding substantial Bitcoin investments through various financial instruments.
