How Does Pete Hegseth Feel About Bitcoin? His Financial Filings Reveal The Answer

New Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth brings cryptocurrency holdings to the Pentagon’s top post, with financial disclosures showing he owns between $5,000 and $15,000 in Bitcoin amid his broader support for digital assets.

“Look at [Donald] Trump, making bitcoin great again,” Hegseth said during a Fox News segment in November after Bitcoin initially surged past $80,000. “All it took was signaling to that market that they weren’t going to be overregulated. Trump embraced them.”

The Senate confirmed Hegseth as defense secretary Friday in a 50-50 vote, with Vice President JD Vance breaking the tie. The narrow victory came despite concerns about his qualifications and personal conduct, marking only the second time a vice president has cast a deciding vote for a Cabinet nominee.
