Defense Secretary Discloses $3.1 Million in Assets Including Bitcoin

U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has disclosed at least $3.1 million in cash and investments, including Bitcoin valued between $16,000 and $65,000.

The disclosure is part of the public financial reporting requirements applicable to senior U.S. government officials, which provide transparency around officials' financial interests while allowing asset values to be reported within prescribed ranges.

Bitcoin's value in Hegseth's portfolio represents a relatively specific component of his broader assets, alongside cash and other investments.
