David Sacks and his company, Craft Ventures, sold over $200 million worth of crypto assets and related stocks before he took on his role as White House AI and Crypto Czar. The White House confirmed Sacks’ crypto divestment in a recent memorandum. It confirmed the move was part of efforts to avoid potential conflicts of interest during his tenure as Crypto Czar. Notably, part of this role includes helping the U.S. government develop a crypto regulatory framework at the federal level. Sacks’ Direct Crypto Divestment Details To ensure he would not benefit personally from this effort, he liquidated his direct crypto holdings and those managed by Craft Ventures worth over $200 million. Out of the total divestments, the statement acknowledged $85 million to be his personal stake. He completed most of the crypto sales before Donald Trump’s inauguration on January 20 and others a few days later. For instance, before Trump’s inauguration, he sold his direct crypto holdings, such as Bitcoin, Solana, and Ethereum. The memorandum confirmed that he liquidated his Bitwise 10 Crypto Index Fund (BITW) investment on January 22. Notably, the BITW fund invests in top crypto assets, including the five digital assets the U.S. plans to hold as reserve assets: Bitcoin, XRP, Cardano, Solana, and Ethereum. Other Crypto-Related Divestments To avoid conflicts of interest, Sacks offloaded his shares in crypto-related companies, particularly Coinbase and Robinhood. Additionally, he sold his financial stake–as a limited partner–in crypto investment funds, including Blockchain Capital and Multicoin Capital. Interestingly, Craft made a similar move, liquidating its position in Bitwise and Multicoin. Furthermore, he has also initiated the sale of his financial stakes in 90 other crypto-related VC funds, like Sequoia Funds. #Crypto

A White House official revealed that the Donald Trump administration is eager to acquire as much #Bitcoin as possible. During a closed-door roundtable session this week, Bo Hines, the Presidential Working Group on Crypto Assets director, confirmed that the administration is focused on building its Bitcoin reserves. However, Hines emphasized that any acquisitions would be “budget neutral” and not burden taxpayers. One of the key topics at the roundtable was the Bitcoin Act, recently reintroduced by Senator Cynthia Lummis. The bill proposes that the U.S. government purchase up to one million BTC and formally establish a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve. According to Hines, the White House supports such a move and plans to apply pressure to ensure the legislation passes Congress. This is to ensure the status of the Bitcoin reserve endures beyond Trump’s administration. Debate Surrounding the Funding of Bitcoin Purchases The proposed funding mechanism for Bitcoin purchases has raised questions about its practicality. The Bitcoin Act would rely on revaluing U.S. gold certificates, which have not been updated since the U.S. abandoned the gold standard in 1971. The certificates, which have appreciated dramatically in value due to the rise in gold prices, could fund the purchase of Bitcoin. However, critics have raised concerns about whether this approach can truly be considered “budget neutral” given the size of the proposed purchase. Notably, acquiring 1 million Bitcoin would cost the government around $83 billion at the current price of 1 BTC. As of now, the U.S. government holds a portfolio of around 200,000 BTC. However, analysts have noted that only 43% of this holding (about 86,000 BTC) could make it to the proposed reserve, as the other half, while seized, may not have been officially forfeited. #cryptonewstoday
