Matthew Schultz, CEO of Bitcoin mining company CleanSpark, announced that he met with US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Senate Banking Committee Chairman Tim Scott for dinner.
Schultz stated that important issues on Bitcoin and US digital asset policies were discussed during the meeting.
“Just finished a small dinner with Treasury Secretary Bessent and Chairman Scott. We discussed the Market Structure Act, the economy, the 11 finalists for the Fed chairmanship, and the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve,” Schultz wrote on X (formerly Twitter).
The CleanSpark CEO also stated that the US holds approximately $17 billion worth of Bitcoin and that it does not plan to sell these assets, but rather aims to continue accumulating them.
Schultz emphasized that the meeting wasn't just about cryptocurrency, saying, “What's really impressive is being at the table. Talking about land, energy, sovereign AI, and Bitcoin. The US Treasury Secretary and the Chairman of the Banking Committee really care about what we're doing and are talking about how they can help.”
