- Goldman Sachs CEO David Solomon has revealed he personally owns a “very, very limited” amount of Bitcoin, marking a notable shift for a top traditional finance executive.
- Solomon emphasized the critical need for clear, rule-based cryptocurrency legislation in the U.S. to ensure markets operate safely and soundly.
- Despite his personal investment, Solomon historically viewed bitcoin as a speculative asset and has downplayed its threat to the U.S. dollar.
Goldman Sachs CEO David Solomon confirmed his personal investment in bitcoin while speaking at the World Liberty Forum in Florida, according to a report. However, the banking chief did not disclose the specific amount or duration of his cryptocurrency holdings.
Solomon has previously been critical of bitcoin, calling it a speculative asset in 2024. Consequently, his recent disclosure indicates a pragmatic, albeit limited, engagement with the asset class he believes is important to understand.
He stressed the urgency of establishing a codified regulatory framework for digital assets in the United States. “I believe that to operate markets safely and soundly, we need to have a rules-based system,” Solomon stated in a CNBC interview at the event.
Meanwhile, Bitcoin’s price faced downward pressure, trading at approximately $66,246 amid bearish retail sentiment. This volatility persists even as the Trump administration has pursued policies loosening rules for the cryptocurrency sector.
