Goldman Sachs just disclosed $2.36B in crypto holdings.
On the surface, it looks big.
Bitcoin. Ethereum. Even real exposure to XRP and Solana.But the detail that matters is scale.
This is only 0.33% of a $700B balance sheet.
That tells you exactly what this is.

In parallel developments, Goldman Sachs representatives were among the key attendees, including executives from JPMorgan, Coinbase’s Paul Grewal, and Ripple’s Stuart Alderoty, at a February 10, 2026, White House meeting on stablecoin yields. This was the second such gathering, following an inconclusive session on February 2.
Strategic engagement at the White House
While its portfolio shifts, Goldman Sachs is also deepening its influence on the policy front. Representatives from the bank attended a high-stakes meeting at the White House this week to discuss the future of the crypto market structure and the controversial issue of stablecoin yields.
The discussion centred on the “Clarity Act,” a bill currently stalled in the Senate. Banking trade groups, including the American Bankers Association, have raised concerns that allowing stablecoin issuers to pay interest or “rewards” could trigger massive deposit outflows from traditional banks. Goldman’s presence at these talks suggests the firm is positioning itself as a primary intermediary between the burgeoning Web3 space and established financial regulations.
David Solomon to speak at World Liberty Forum
The bank’s pro-crypto trajectory will culminate next week when CEO David Solomon speaks at the World Liberty Forum on February 18, 2026. Hosted at Mar-a-Lago by World Liberty Financial ($WLFI), a DeFi project associated with the Trump family, the invitation-only event will gather global leaders to discuss the intersection of decentralized finance and institutional banking.
Meanwhile, President Donald Trump denied knowledge of a reported multimillion-dollar investment in the family-tied crypto platform World Liberty Financial (WLFI) involving an Abu Dhabi royal. Trump referred questions to his family, stating, “My sons are handling that… I guess they get investments from different people.”
