Former Federal Reserve governor and one-time BitcoinBitcoin skeptic Kevin Warsh has changed his tune on the cryptocrypto asset. Following Bitcoin’s recent surge, and changing attitudes on the regulatory side, the asset now “does make sense” in a sensible portfolio, Warsh said today.
Warsh made the comment in an interview with Andrew Ross Sorkin, who hosts Squawk Box on CNBC. “I think that Bitcoin does make sense as part of a portfolio in this environment, where you have the most fundamental shift in monetary policy since Paul Volcker. This is a big shift that we’re seeing under the Powell Fed, rightly or wrongly.”
"If #bitcoin never existed gold would be rallying even more right now, but I guess if you are under 40 bitcoin is your new gold," says Kevin Warsh. pic.twitter.com/1xp16aE8QS

That shift he’s referring to has to do with the Fed’s approach to stimulus, in keeping with what’s known as modern monetary theory, which posits that countries with their own currencies can spend a lot more than they have.
This process of seemingly summoning money out of thin air this past spring, and the prospect of what that will eventually mean for the US dollar's longterm value, ended up stimulating the crypto markets too.
Warsh also chalked up the recent Bitcoin boom (the price is currently hovering around $36,000) to “a period of dollar weakness,” and suggested that the success of Bitcoin has been eating into gold. “If Bitcoin never existed, gold would be rallying even more right now,” he said. “ But I guess if you’re under 40, Bitcoin is your new gold.”
Warsh wrote an op-ed for the Wall Street Journal in 2018 asserting that while he was skeptical of Bitcoin as a mode of payment, it might have the potential to “serve as a sustainable store of value, like gold.”
Along with hedge fund manager and erstwhile George Soros money manager Stan Druckenmilller, Warsh invested in a stablecoin called Basis back in 2018, which ended up shutting down that same year.

The price of Bitcoin continues to surge, with spot Bitcoin ETFs in the rearview mirror and the halving coming in April.

Bitcoin today hit $39,000 per coin for the first time since a brutal digital asset crash in May 2022 that brought with it a long and painful bear market. The virtual coin has since made a terrific comeback: at the start of January, it was trading for less than $17,000 per coin; it is now up 128%. Could this mean we’re seeing the beginning of a bull run? Some experts say it’s only up from here. A lot has happened in the crypto space since blockchain project Terra collapsed last year, leading...
In a move that surprised some experts, Invesco Ltd, an investment management company with $1.3 trillion in assets under management, decided not to immediately pursue its Bitcoin futures application. “We have determined not to pursue the launch of a Bitcoin futures ETF in the immediate near-term,” an Invesco spokesperson told Bloomberg. The firm added that it will carry on with its Galaxy Digital partnership to offer investors a “full shelf of products” with exposure to digital assets, including...
