Paul Atkins, chair of the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), said it “remains to be seen” what actions the US government might take regarding Venezuela’s reported Bitcoin holdings, while stressing that such decisions would fall outside his remit.

In a Monday interview with Fox Business’ Stuart Varney, Atkins responded to reports claiming that Venezuela holds up to $60 billion worth of Bitcoin, though several analysts said they were unable to verify these claims. The SEC chair said it “remains to be seen” what action, if any, the US would take if it had the opportunity to seize the reported 600,000 BTC.
