Hegseth's Crypto Gains: Defense Secretary's Bitcoin Holdings Bring Modest Returns
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth's Bitcoin holdings on Coinbase generated between $2,702 and $6,000 in capital gains in 2025. An Office of Government Ethics (OGE) filing shows this information.
The disclosure highlights continued crypto adoption by a senior US official and use of a centralized exchange. The modest personal returns from Hegseth's Bitcoin indicate public-sector exposure to crypto.
