Goldman Sachs CEO David Solomon says he holds Bitcoin
Summary
Goldman Sachs CEO David Solomon confirmed during the World Liberty Forum that he personally owns a small amount of Bitcoin, viewing himself primarily as an observer tracking the asset's evolution. Solomon stated that Goldman Sachs views cryptocurrency as integral to the long-term shift in financial markets, rejecting the notion that banks and crypto firms are adversaries. Although regulations currently restrict Goldman from directly holding or trading Bitcoin, Solomon suggested the bank might explore market-making opportunities for Bitcoin and Ethereum if the regulatory environment changes. Despite the CEO's limited personal stake, Goldman Sachs has built significant institutional exposure, holding over $1 billion in BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust and substantial holdings in Solana and XRP ETFs by the end of 2025.
