A Washington Post analysis of financial disclosure documents found that nominees and officials in the Trump administration held no less than $193 million in crypto and blockchain-linked assets.
The figure spans nearly 70 individuals, with holdings ranging from small investments to at least $120 million for a single appointee.
President Donald Trump, who reversed his earlier crypto skepticism to become the industry’s most powerful advocate, reported a personal stake of at least $51 million in digital assets.
Vice President JD Vance listed between $250,000 and $500,000 in Bitcoin. Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. disclosed between $1 million and $5 million. And Ken Howery, the PayPal co-founder tapped as ambassador to Denmark, topped the list with at least $122 million in digital assets.
Because disclosures report holdings in ranges rather than exact figures, the true total is almost certainly higher, reporters said.
