Kevin Warsh is now the most powerful central banker on the planet, and he thinks Bitcoin is gold for millennials. That combination should get your attention.
President Trump officially endorsed Warsh as his pick to lead the Federal Reserve, telling him publicly on May 22, 2026: “I want Kevin to be totally independent… just do your own thing.”
From Wall Street to the Eccles Building
Warsh is not a newcomer to the Fed. He served as a governor from February 2006 through March 2011, a stretch that included navigating the worst financial crisis since the Great Depression.
The Senate confirmed Warsh on May 13, 2026, with a 54-45 vote. That makes it the most partisan confirmation vote for a Fed chair nominee in history. He was sworn in on the same day Jerome Powell’s term as chair officially ended, ensuring no gap in leadership at the top of the central bank.
