David Solomon, chief executive of Goldman Sachs, when asked if accepting "Trump's potential strategic bitcoin reserve would affect the bank's process of dealing with cryptocurrencies," said: "We have discussed this many times and we have spent a lot of time on the underlying technology. We are leveraging and testing it to reduce friction in the financial system. This is very important. However, from a regulatory perspective, Goldman Sachs still cannot own, dominate or participate in bitcoin, "and if the world changes, we can discuss it."
