New York City Mayor Eric Adams has highlighted the significant growth of his Bitcoin holdings, following the recent surge in BTC prices. Adams had controversially chosen to accept his first three paychecks in BTC and ETH when he assumed office. The value of his BTC assets at the end of 2023 was estimated to be between $5,000 and $54,999. With the current BTC price approaching $100,000, Adams boasted about his profits, while declining to disclose the exact amount. Adams' embrace of crypto aligns with similar moves by other public officials, including Miami Mayor Francis Suarez and Belgian MP Christophe De Beukelaer. However, Adams' enthusiasm for crypto comes amidst personal legal challenges. The broader discussions about Bitcoin's role in the economy and the idea of a BTC reserve being launched in the US have been gaining momentum. Adams' statements have reignited debates around integrating cryptocurrencies into public life, with analysts expecting further price appreciation for BTC.
