Kevin Warsh Holdings Include Polymarket, SpaceX

Federal Reserve chairman nominee Kevin Warsh has disclosed holdings spanning cryptocurrency-linked prediction markets, aerospace and artificial intelligence ventures in an official financial filing submitted to the U.S. Office of Government Ethics. The OGE Form 278e nominee report names Polymarket and SpaceX among portfolio companies held through a venture vehicle, while an accompanying ethics agreement commits Warsh to divesting those interests before assuming the Fed chair role.

What Warsh’s official disclosure says about his portfolio

The nominee role and filing context

Warsh’s OGE Form 278e identifies him as a nominee for “Chairman and Member, Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System.” The document is the primary evidence base for the disclosed holdings, filed as part of the Senate confirmation process.

The distinction matters for crypto-native readers: the filing is not a voluntary transparency gesture. It is a legally required nominee disclosure that becomes part of the public record during confirmation scrutiny.

Named portfolio companies and fund positions

The filing lists Polymarket, described as a prediction market platform, and SpaceX (acq. xAI), described as an aerospace and AI technology company, as underlying portfolio companies under AVGF II within DCM Investments 10 LLC. These are indirect holdings through a venture fund structure, not direct spot positions in crypto tokens or public equities.

Separately, THSDFS LLC – Series 65 is disclosed at a value range of $250,001 – $500,000, with language stating it will be divested if Warsh is confirmed.

Juggernaut Fund, LP appears twice in the filing, and each listed position is valued at over $50,000,000. The dual listing suggests separate share classes or commitment tranches within the same fund.

The filing also shows Warsh earned $10,200,000 in consulting fees from Duquesne Family Office, underscoring the scale of his private-market financial relationships ahead of the nomination.

Why Polymarket, SpaceX and xAI stand out in this Fed story

The crypto relevance: prediction markets and regulatory overlap

Polymarket operates as a blockchain-based prediction market platform that has drawn regulatory attention from U.S. authorities. For a Fed chair nominee to hold indirect exposure to a company at the intersection of crypto infrastructure and political wagering creates a conflict-of-interest question that accessible Reuters-style summaries did not unpack.

The broader media framing centered on the headline figure of assets exceeding $100 million, but the official 278 filing explicitly names Polymarket inside AVGF II under DCM Investments 10 LLC. That specificity, buried in the venture fund structure, is the detail that matters to readers tracking how Bitcoin nears $75,000 while regulatory scrutiny of crypto-adjacent platforms intensifies.

AI and private-market exposure beyond crypto

SpaceX (acq. xAI) expands the story beyond digital assets into private-market AI capital. The filing identifies the company as an “aerospace and AI technology company,” reflecting the post-acquisition structure after SpaceX absorbed Elon Musk’s xAI.

A Fed chair with disclosed exposure to both a crypto prediction market and a private AI conglomerate touches two of the market’s most politically sensitive narratives. The question for institutional observers is not the size of the holdings, but whether those exposures could complicate regulatory posture on emerging technology sectors.

How Warsh’s ethics agreement could reshape those holdings

Divestiture mechanics

Warsh’s April 10, 2026 ethics agreement invokes 18 U.S.C. Section 208(a) and related federal ethics rules. The agreement commits him to divesting DCM Investments 10 LLC, Juggernaut Fund LP, and listed THSDFS LLC interests before assuming duties or within the stated post-confirmation divestiture window.

The divestiture requirement means that the Polymarket and SpaceX/xAI exposures disclosed in the 278 filing are not permanent features of a future Fed chair’s portfolio. They are flagged for disposal as a condition of service.

Recusal limits until divestiture is complete

Until divestiture is completed, Warsh will not participate in matters directly affecting those interests. This recusal provision creates a practical constraint: if confirmation proceeds before full divestiture, the new Fed chair could face limitations on deliberations involving companies or sectors linked to his covered holdings.

The disclosure alone is not the full story. The ethics agreement transforms a holdings list into a policy question about the scope of action available to a sitting Fed chair during the transition period, particularly on matters touching crypto regulation or AI-sector oversight where institutional players like BlackRock are already active.

What the nomination timeline means for crypto and macro watchers

The White House sent Warsh’s nomination to the Senate on March 4, 2026, designating a four-year chair term and a fourteen-year board term from February 1, 2026. The disclosure filing arrives during active confirmation scrutiny, not as a post-appointment formality.

The filing matters because it shapes the questions senators will ask during hearings, not because it directly changed Fed policy or market conditions. Any direct price impact attribution would be unsupported by the available evidence.

The broader crypto backdrop remained risk-off at the time of the disclosure, with the Fear & Greed Index sitting at 21, firmly in “Extreme Fear” territory. Bitcoin traded near $75,490, up about 5.53% over 24 hours, reflecting macro-driven volatility rather than a reaction to the Warsh filing specifically.

Industry reaction has been measured. Lindsey Johnson, President and CEO of the Consumer Bankers Association, offered support for the nomination.

“On behalf of America’s leading Main Street banks, we congratulate Kevin Warsh on his nomination to serve as Chair of the Federal Reserve.”

For crypto and macro watchers, the confirmation calendar is the next actionable signal. Senate Banking Committee hearings will determine whether the Polymarket and SpaceX disclosures become friction points or footnotes, and whether Warsh’s divestiture timeline satisfies ethics requirements before he could take the chair.

FAQ about Kevin Warsh, Polymarket and the Fed disclosure

Does Warsh personally hold crypto tokens?

No. The filing shows indirect venture exposure to Polymarket through AVGF II within DCM Investments 10 LLC. This is a fund-of-funds position, not a direct holding of crypto tokens or a personal on-chain staking position. The distinction between fund exposure and spot ownership is critical for interpreting the disclosure accurately.

What happens to the Polymarket and SpaceX holdings if Warsh is confirmed?

His ethics agreement requires divestiture of DCM Investments 10 LLC, which contains the AVGF II vehicle holding both Polymarket and SpaceX/xAI exposure. He must divest before assuming duties or within the post-confirmation window specified in the agreement. Until then, recusal rules prevent him from participating in matters directly affecting those interests.

How large are the disclosed positions?

The filing does not break out Polymarket or SpaceX individually. They appear as underlying companies within AVGF II under DCM Investments 10 LLC. The largest disclosed positions are in Juggernaut Fund, LP, listed twice at over $50,000,000 each. THSDFS LLC – Series 65 is separately valued at $250,001 to $500,000.

Why does this filing matter for the crypto industry?

A Fed chair nominee with disclosed exposure to a blockchain-based prediction market platform raises questions about how crypto-adjacent conflicts of interest will be managed at the central bank level. The ethics agreement’s recusal and divestiture provisions set a precedent for how future nominees with digital asset exposure navigate the confirmation process.
