Goldman Sachs CEO Says He Owns 'Very Little' Bitcoin, Backs Bessent on Clarity Act
David Solomon says he is watching bitcoin closely and voiced support for Treasury Secretary Bessent’s push for clearer crypto legislation.
Goldman Sachs CEO David Solomon told the World Liberty Forum that he owns "very little" bitcoin and is an "observer" who is watching the asset closely as he tries to understand its price movements [2].
Solomon publicly backed Treasury Secretary Bessent and the Clarity Act, aligning with Bessent’s criticism of companies such as Coinbase that argued "no crypto legislation is better than a bad bill" [1].
Some crypto outlets noted Solomon’s disclosure as a signal of growing institutional attention to bitcoin, while reporting that he emphasized limited personal holdings and ongoing monitoring rather than active market participation [3][2].
Solomon’s remarks combine cautious personal exposure—"very little" bitcoin—with public support for clearer regulation, suggesting a posture of careful observation by a major Wall Street executive [2][1].
