Matthew Schultz, CEO of Bitcoin mining company CleanSpark, announced that he had dinner with U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Senate Banking Committee Chairman Tim Scott.
Schultz said important issues regarding Bitcoin and U.S. digital asset policy were discussed during the meeting.
“Just finished a small dinner with Treasury Secretary Bessent and Chairman Scott. We discussed market structure law, the economy, the 11 finalists for Fed Chair, and the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve,” Schultz wrote on X (formerly Twitter).
The CleanSpark CEO also stated that the United States holds around $17 billion worth of Bitcoin and has no intention of selling these assets, but rather aims to continue accumulating them.
Schultz emphasized that the talks are not just about cryptocurrencies. “What’s really impressive is that we’re at the table. We’re talking about land, energy, sovereign AI, Bitcoin. The Secretary of the Treasury and the Chairman of the Banking Committee really care about what we’re doing and are talking about how they can help.”
