Speaking at the World Liberty Financial Forum in Florida, Solomon said he holds “a little Bitcoin, very little,” despite previously describing cryptocurrencies as speculative assets. The remarks drew attention given his historically cautious stance toward digital assets.
Solomon noted that he is still trying to understand how Bitcoin behaves in different market conditions. While he once labeled crypto as speculative, he acknowledged in 2024 that Bitcoin could potentially evolve into a store of value. His latest comments suggest a gradual softening in rhetoric, even if institutional exposure remains measured.
Although Goldman Sachs recently reduced its spot Bitcoin and Ether ETF positions, Solomon’s personal disclosure highlights the distinction between corporate balance sheet strategy and individual investment decisions. The forum, closely associated with pro-crypto political initiatives in the United States, also underscored a broader shift in regulatory and institutional sentiment toward digital assets.
