Goldman Sachs CEO David Solomon made headlines after revealing he personally owns 'very little' Bitcoin, despite the bank's significant indirect exposure to crypto assets.

Solomon shared his personal views at the World Liberty Forum in Palm Beach, stating 'I own a little bitcoin, very little.' He also confessed that he is still trying to understand how Bitcoin behaves.

The admission comes as Goldman's regulatory filings show $2.36 billion in indirect crypto exposure through U.S.-based spot ETFs, including positions in Ethereum (ETH), XRP (XRP), and Solana (SOL).

Goldman has not reduced its Bitcoin position, despite a nearly 50% decline in value since the end of Q4 2025. The bank's indirect exposure to approximately 13,740 BTC is valued at an estimated $920 million.
