David Solomon, CEO of Goldman Sachs, revealed that he owns "very little, but still some" Bitcoin. He made this statement during the World Liberty Forum, according to CoinDesk.
He noted that he is closely monitoring the leading cryptocurrency as part of broader changes in financial technology.
While Goldman Sachs maintains a "cautious approach" to digital assets, the firm's leadership believes cryptocurrencies are part of future progress, Solomon added. He believes that market evolution is driven by large technological platforms, with tokenization playing a central role.
He also dismissed the notion that traditional banks and crypto companies are in a battle with no winners.
"This is one system, it’s our system. We need to get it right. But there will be disagreements, and that’s okay," emphasized the CEO of Goldman Sachs.
However, while other banking giants like JPMorgan and Morgan Stanley are actively entering the digital asset space, Goldman Sachs's involvement remains quite limited. Solomon cited regulation as the primary reason for this situation.
"Just 10 minutes ago, the regulatory framework was extremely strict," he joked.
The businessman suggested that as regulators begin to grant companies more freedom for "more active participation" in the crypto industry, Goldman Sachs may reconsider its position.
Recall that in January, Solomon stated that digital gold does not threaten the dollar's status as a reserve currency, still being a speculative asset.
