White House economic adviser held up to $5M in Coinbase stock through late 2025

Kevin Hassett, director of the White House National Economic Council, held between $1 million and $5 million worth of Coinbase stock through the end of last year, CNBC reported. According to a recently disclosed 2025 financial filing, Hassett joined the White House after serving as a Coinbase adviser and did not fully sell the shares even as cryptocurrency policy remained a key issue for the NEC. It was not confirmed whether Hassett still holds the stock. Hassett said Hassett is not involved in crypto-related matters under guidance from ethics officials.
