Elizabeth Warren Demands Proof Crypto Czar Isn’t Profiting from Trump Administration Policies

Senator Elizabeth Warren Challenges Trump's Crypto Czar Over Potential Conflicts of Interest as Bitcoin Reserve Established

  • Senator Elizabeth Warren has questioned whether Trump’s Crypto Czar David Sacks has conflicts of interest relating to cryptocurrency assets.
  • Warren released a 6-page letter requesting proof that Sacks isn’t personally profiting from the administration’s crypto policies.
  • The letter comes as President Trump signed an executive order establishing a Bitcoin reserve, with Sacks claiming it won’t cost taxpayers.

Senator Elizabeth Warren has publicly challenged David Sacks, President Trump’s recently appointed Cryptocurrency Czar, to demonstrate he isn’t financially benefiting from the administration’s cryptocurrency initiatives. The Massachusetts Democrat released her concerns in a detailed letter Friday, just before a scheduled White House crypto summit and following Trump’s executive order to establish a national Bitcoin reserve.

Warren’s 6-page letter specifically questions the timing of Sacks’s divestment from various cryptocurrency assets. “Despite your public statements via X, it remains unclear exactly when you personally divested from BTC, ETH, and SOL, when Craft Ventures divested from Bitwise, and whether people close to you ‘may have held positions and sold into the recent price surge,'” Warren wrote.

The timing of Warren’s inquiry appears strategic, coming hours before a planned cryptocurrency summit at the White House and directly following President Trump’s executive order establishing a Bitcoin reserve. Sacks, who was appointed to his position in early December, had previously stated that he divested from his cryptocurrency holdings before assuming his role.

Craft Ventures, the venture firm founded by Sacks, has previously invested in Bitwise, creating potential conflict of interest concerns that Warren highlights in her letter.

Just prior to Warren’s letter becoming public, Sacks shared on X (formerly Twitter) President Trump’s announcement about the Bitcoin reserve initiative, emphasizing that the program would not “cost the taxpayers a dime.”

Warren’s inquiry represents the first major congressional scrutiny of the Trump administration’s cryptocurrency policies and appointees since the election. The administration has signaled a generally pro-cryptocurrency stance, in contrast to regulatory approaches taken during President Biden‘s term.

This story continues to develop as both the White House crypto summit proceeds and reactions to Warren’s allegations emerge.
