Goldman Sachs CEO David Solomon revealed, for the first time, that he owns bitcoin. The chief executive of the world’s second-largest investment bank was speaking on the first day of the World Liberty Forum 2026 in Mar-a-Lago, Florida.
“I’m still trying to figure out how Bitcoin behaves,” Solomon said. “I own a little bitcoin, very little.”
Over the years, Solomon has been a supporter of blockchain technology but less so of crypto. “I’ve always said I think it’s a speculative investment,” he told CNBC in July 2024. At the time, he didn’t see a use case for bitcoin but noted “there very well could be a store of value case.”
In January 2025, Solomon reiterated that Goldman Sachs can’t own, principal, or be involved with bitcoin and other crypto assets, something he said Wednesday started to change “very recently.”
Solomon added Wednesday he was not a “great Bitcoin prognosticator,” according to Bloomberg.
The Goldman Sachs CEO was part of a star-studded forum for World Liberty Financial, the DeFi and stablecoin firm backed by President Donald Trump and his three sons. It comes under a White House administration that has fully embraced the crypto industry more than any before it.
Last summer, Trump signed the Guiding and Establishing National Innovation for U.S. Stablecoins, or GENIUS Act — the first major crypto framework signed into U.S. law. Last month, Solomon said Goldman Sachs is actively exploring where to test tokenization and stablecoin technology while tracking progress on U.S. market structure legislation.
Sources recently told The Block’s Sarah Wynn that crypto market structure legislation is hung up on two key points: how to treat stablecoin yield and how to address Trump’s conflicts of interest.
World Liberty launched in October 2024 and listed President Trump, along with his three sons Donald Jr., Eric, and Baron, as co-founders. In March 2025, the protocol launched the USD1 stablecoin.
For its part, Goldman Sachs reduced its holdings of spot bitcoin and ether exchange-traded funds last quarter by around 40%.
