US President Donald Trump’s President for President Sec Paul Atkins owns shares in three cryptocurrency companies: Securitize, Anchorage Digital and Off The Chain Capital. Fortune writes about it with reference to the statement of income policy.
The information was disclosed on the eve of the Senate hearing on Atkins, scheduled for March 27.
According to the documents, the nominee took a seat in the Securitize Directors and owns an amount up to $ 500,000. In addition, Atkins invested from $ 250,000 to $ 500,000 in Anchorage Digital. Its share in the cryptode of Off The Chain Capital is from $ 1 to $ 5 million.
At the same time, Atkins himself or his family do not have cryptocurrencies directly. According to Bloomberg, his total wealth with his wife is estimated at $ 327 million.
Trump advanced Atkins to the post of SEC head in December 2024. Many cryptoclus participants consider him the right candidate through the experience in the industry.
Atkins held the post of SEC commissioner from 2002 to 2008, and later founded the Consulting firm Patomak Global Partners, among the clients of which were cryptocurrencies and Defi projections.
In 2020, he joined the Digital Chamber Consultants Council, but left his post after nomination for the post of SEC chairman.
On March 23, Senator Elizabeth Warren sent 34 pages to Atkins, which expressed concern about his links with the crypto industry and possible conflicts of Trump’s interests in this matter.
We will remind, on March 3, Trump Advisor “Kryptozor” David Saxi confirmed that he sold all his digital assets before the new administration of the USA was starting. On March 7, Warren urged him to provide cryptocurrency data.
In January, the ethics of Trump’s cryptocurrency initiatives became interested in Congress, and in February Public Citizen called on the Ministry of Justice and the US Ethics Ethics Office to begin investigating Trump due to possible violation of federal corruption laws.
