- David Sacks is stepping down as the White House’s AI and crypto czar after reaching the 130-day limit for special government employees.
- He played a central role in shaping the Trump administration’s crypto agenda, pushing for market structure and stablecoin legislation.
- Key initiatives like the CLARITY Act and a strategic Bitcoin reserve remain unfinished as he transitions to a broader advisory role.
David Sacks, the White House’s AI and crypto czar, stepped down from his role on Thursday after his 130-day term as a special government employee ended. He revealed his departure in an interview with Bloomberg, closing a short but influential tenure. However, several major legislative efforts he championed remain incomplete.
During his time, Sacks pushed for clearer digital asset rules and criticized the prior regulatory approach under the Biden administration. He played a central role in shaping efforts to pass market structure and stablecoin legislation. Consequently, he had previously stated these bills could pass within the administration’s first 100 days.
That timeline has not been met as Congress continues to debate the CLARITY Act beyond it. An early proposal to create a permanent White House “crypto council” also never materialized, according to prior Decrypt reporting. Meanwhile, discussions around a U.S. strategic Bitcoin reserve have not fully materialized either.
Sacks will remain involved through the President’s Council of Advisors on Science and Technology. “As co-chair of PCAST, I can now make a range of recommendations on not just AI but an expanded range of technology topics,” Sacks said. His departure leaves the administration’s crypto policy agenda still in progress.
