Recently, after voting, the U.S. Senate officially confirmed Paul Atkins, nominated by Trump, as the chairman of the SEC. Since then, the main government officials during Trump's current term have basically been confirmed, and this group of people will also become key figures influencing the political and economic situation in the United States and even the world, as well as the cryptocurrency market in the next four years.
Therefore, although the major officials of the Trump administration are under the control of the Office of U.S. Government Ethics, their crypto holdings may still become one of the important factors affecting subsequent regulatory policies and the benefits of cryptocurrency projects. Based on this, Odaily Planet Daily will organize the cryptocurrency holdings of major figures in this article for readers' reference.
Vice President Vance: Specializing in BTC
As previously reported by Business Insider, the personal financial information of the current US Vice President JD Vance disclosed in August 2024 showed that Vance himself held assets of approximately US$4 million; among them, the relevant crypto assets were approximately US$250,000 to US$500,000, all of which were Bitcoin.
In addition, crypto-asset-related index funds and crypto asset management company funds are also on the list.

David Sacks, White House AI and Cryptocurrency Director: He once held BTC, ETH, SOL, BITW, and has now sold all his positions
White House memo documents show that David Sacks, the US director of AI and cryptocurrency affairs, sold more than $200 million in digital asset-related investments through his personal company Craft Ventures before taking office, and about $85 million of income belonged to him personally, including Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana and Bitwise 10 Crypto Index Fund (BITW), and sold shares in Coinbase (COIN) and Robinhood (HOOD).
In addition, he also withdrew from Multicoin Capital, Blockchain Capital and Bitwise Asset Management related investments, and began to gradually withdraw from holdings in some private digital asset companies. In addition, Sacks still holds interests in some funds under Craft Ventures, which invest in companies such as BitGo and Lightning Labs. These investments are difficult to fully exit due to liquidity restrictions, accounting for less than 3.8% of its total investment assets.
The above information was also confirmed and responded by David Sacks himself. Multicoin Capital Managing Partner Kyle Samani and Bitwise CEO Hunter Horsley also made corresponding explanations.
SEC Chairman Paul Atkins: Indirect holdings of BTC

The Off The Chain Capital fund he invested in adopts a Bitcoin strategy (focusing on low-priced Bitcoin investment opportunities, such as Mt. Gox's debt, Bitcoin mining machines, Bitcoin leverage, etc.), and therefore indirectly holds Bitcoin.
