David Solomon, Goldman's chief executive, said in an interview that the bank still could not own, dominate or participate in bitcoin from a regulatory perspective, saying: "If the world changes, you and I can discuss it." Responding to whether Mr. Trump's potential strategic bitcoin reserves would affect the bank's approach to crypto, he said: "First of all, you know, we've talked about this many times and the underlying technology is something we spend a lot of time looking at. We're leveraging and testing it to reduce friction in the financial system, which is very important." Asked whether Bitcoin was a threat to the dollar, David Solomon responded: "Others may think so, but I don't think Bitcoin is a threat to the dollar."
