Goldman Sachs CEO Admits Personal BTC Holdings Amid $2.36B Crypto Exposure
Goldman Sachs CEO David Solomon has confirmed that he personally owns a small amount of Bitcoin (BTC), stating 'I'm still trying to figure out how Bitcoin behaves. I own a little bitcoin, very little.'
This admission comes as the bank's latest regulatory filings show roughly $2.36 billion in indirect crypto exposure through U.S.-based spot ETFs, including positions in Ethereum (ETH), XRP (XRP), and Solana (SOL).
The firm holds approximately 13,740 BTC, valued at around $1.7 billion at the close of Q4 2025 but now worth an estimated $920 million after a nearly 50% decline.
Solomon's personal admission contrasts with Goldman's institutional posture just a few years ago, when the bank's research teams characterized Bitcoin as a speculative asset with limited utility.
