Multicoin Capital co-founder Kyle Samani commented on the Ethereum Foundation's today's reform: lack of focus, objectives are contradictory Regarding the Ethereum Foundation's proposed layoff plan and subsequent development direction, Multicoin Capital co-founder Kyle Samani commented, "Please note, the definition of the term 'focus' usually means 'less' rather than 'more,' especially the objectives should not conflict with each other. However, when we look at it from the perspective of Goal 3 (i.e., L1, L2 network expansion, improving user experience), Goal 1 (i.e., layoffs) and Goal 2 (i.e., clarifying job responsibilities) are contradictory."

Multicoin Capital may increase its holdings of SOL by borrowing $7 million USDC and transferring it to Coinbase.

Vice President Vance: Specializes in $BTC According to a previous report by Business Insider, the personal financial information of current U.S. Vice President JD Vance, disclosed in August 2024 regarding 2023, shows that Vance holds assets of approximately $4 million. Among these, related crypto assets amount to approximately $250,000-$500,000, all in Bitcoin. In addition, crypto asset-related index funds and crypto asset management company funds are also included. White House AI and Crypto Head David Sacks: Previously Held $BTC, $ETH, $SOL, $BITW, Now Liquidated White House memorandum documents show that U.S. AI and cryptocurrency affairs head David Sacks sold over $200 million in digital asset-related investments through himself and his company Craft Ventures before taking office. Approximately $85 million in income went to him personally, including Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, and the Bitwise 10 Crypto Index Fund (BITW). He also sold shares in Coinbase (COIN) and Robinhood (HOOD). In addition, he exited investments related to Multicoin Capital, Blockchain Capital, and Bitwise Asset Management, and began to gradually exit holdings in some private digital asset companies. Furthermore, Sacks still holds interests in some Craft Ventures funds, which invest in companies such as BitGo and Lightning Labs. These investments are difficult to fully exit due to liquidity restrictions, accounting for less than 3.8% of his total investment assets. The above information has also been confirmed and responded to by David Sacks himself. Multicoin Capital Managing Partner Kyle Samani and Bitwise CEO Hunter Horsley have also provided corresponding explanations. SEC Chairman Paul Atkins: Indirectly Holds $BTC According to a post by crypto KOL @0x_Todd, it is estimated that Paul Atkins' crypto-related assets are approximately $2-6 million. The Off The Chain Capital fund he invests in adopts a Bitcoin strategy (focusing on low-price Bitcoin investment opportunities, such as Mt. Gox claims, Bitcoin mining machines, Bitcoin leverage, etc.), thus indirectly holding Bitcoin. In addition, he also holds shares in crypto company Securitize and Anchorage Digital, the only crypto bank in the U.S., with assets in the range of approximately $250,000-$500,000. U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent: Holds $IBIT U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent's personal property documents, disclosed in August 2024, show that his total financial assets are approximately $521 million. In comparison, his crypto assets only include the Bitcoin spot ETF IBIT, with assets in the range of approximately $250,000-$500,000, accounting for less than 0.1% of his personal assets. In addition, his investment portfolio also includes assets related to cryptocurrency, such as the SPDR S&P 500 Trust ETF (SPY), Invesco QQQ Trust ETF (QQQ), etc., worth over $100 million. U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick: Holds 5% of Tether Shares and Some $BTC According to financial disclosure documents released by the U.S. Office of Government Ethics (OGE), current U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick disclosed his crypto assets and related investments in a report submitted on January 24, 2025. Previously, he had clearly stated that he holds Bitcoin and considers it a globally freely traded asset "like gold." His company, Cantor Fitzgerald, is a major partner of stablecoin issuer Tether, managing approximately $39 billion in U.S. Treasury bonds. According to previous news, Lutnick plans to hand over the company's Tether business relationship to his son, Brandon Lutnick. In addition, it is reported that Cantor Fitzgerald holds 5% of Tether's equity, valued at approximately $600 million. Cantor Fitzgerald also planned to launch a Bitcoin financing business last year, providing Bitcoin investors with leverage support of up to $2 billion in initial funding. DOGE Department Head Musk @elonmusk: $BTC and $DOGE As a "star player" in the current Trump administration, Musk's crypto holdings have always been the focus of market attention. According to data from the Arkham @arkham platform, on March 7, the number of Bitcoin holdings of Musk's company Tesla increased to 11,509, approximately 1,789 more BTC than the 9,720 BTC balance reported in the previous financial report. In November of last year, Dogecoin UI designer DogeDesigner, who frequently interacts with Musk, shared an audio clip of Musk on the X platform, in which Musk stated, "I still hold a lot of Dogecoin, and SpaceX still holds Bitcoin."

1/ On Monday, leaders across the crypto industry sent a letter to the White House & @DavidSacks expressing concerns about the DOJ’s “extraordinary, lawless reinterpretation of federal money transmission licensing statutes to criminalize innovation in software development.” We are extremely grateful to them for standing up for software devs everywhere on this critical issue. @matthuang/@paradigm @KyleSamani/@multicoincap @cdixon/@a16zcrypto @brian_armstrong/@Coinbase @tyler & @cameron /@gemini @DavidFBailey @mikebelshe/@BitGo @arjunsethi/@krakenfx @jprichardson/@exodus
