Scott Bessent, President-elect Donald Trump's nominee for Treasury Secretary, plans to liquidate a range of investments, including his Bitcoin ETF holdings, to avoid potential conflicts of interest. Bessent, a billionaire hedge fund manager who previously worked for George Soros, disclosed assets totaling over $700 million in a financial filing. His Bitcoin ETF holdings are valued between $250,000 and $500,000. The move comes ahead of his Senate confirmation, as part of the required ethics and financial disclosures.
