Research Findings

My investigation found substantial evidence that David Sacks' Craft Ventures portfolio contained multiple cryptocurrency and blockchain companies that would benefit from Strategic Bitcoin Reserve policy. Before becoming crypto czar, Sacks and Craft Ventures owned Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, Robinhood stock, Coinbase stock, and were limited partners in Multicoin Capital and Blockchain Capital. While Sacks divested over $200 million in crypto holdings, Craft Ventures still holds equity in crypto custody firm BitGo (2.5% of assets) and Bitcoin protocol developer Lightning Labs (1.1% of assets). The portfolio also includes Bitwise Asset Management, described as 'the first cryptocurrency index fund.'

Critics argued that when Trump announced the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve policy in March 2025, it represented 'a direct transfer of wealth from the U.S. treasury to David Sacks and other crypto barons.' The Strategic Bitcoin Reserve, established via executive order on March 6, 2025, will hold Bitcoin seized through criminal and civil forfeitures without taxpayer funding. While I could not locate specific SEC EDGAR Form D filings for Craft Ventures fund entities in the 2022-2025 timeframe, the documented portfolio holdings demonstrate clear financial interests that would benefit from government Bitcoin reserve policies.
