According to reports, US President Trump holds a total of $51 million in virtual currency assets, and approximately one out of every five senior officials in the Trump administration holds cryptocurrency. An investigation into the financial disclosure forms of around 300 senior officials in the Trump administration revealed that about 70 individuals hold cryptocurrency or have investments in blockchain-related companies. Using data from the 3rd day as a reference, the Washington Post requested financial information from all government nominees approved by the Senate, with a 95% response rate. The media outlet independently identified blockchain or cryptocurrency holdings, related wallets, or companies from the officials' financial information. Officials typically only disclose the 'range' of their assets rather than exact amounts, so the estimates were based on the lower end of the range.
