POTUS Joe Biden’s tech advisor Wu is a bitcoin millionaire, and it is getting into the limelight globally. The Brown Institute for Media Innovation at Columbia University was behind retrieving the document from the White House.
From the disclosure, it is Evident that Timothy (Tim Wu) owns between $1M to $5M worth of BTC. Not only this, but he also owns $1M to $2.5M worth of Filecoin (FIL).

Timothy is a great critic, and now he is a special technical assistant at the White House. In addition, he provides his assistance to the president at National Economic Council whenever needed.

Tim Wu Once doubted BTC and now a millionaire crypto investor
The law professor of Columbia University was always skeptical about cryptocurrency, especially Bitcoin. He always used to question its worth and what would be the future with or without them. Back in 2017, he even referred to bitcoin as a “bubble.”
He even wrote in an article that bitcoin is not real; the actual words were ‘illusory quality.’ He says that bitcoin is just like a stock or bond as it gives you a claim to bitcoin itself. Wu is still skeptical about the usability of bitcoins as a regular mode of payments but assuring that it is a fine per store of value.
According to Bitcoin’s price, i.e., $32727.80 at the time of writing, Wu must be having around 30 to 153 bitcoins. So it doesn’t look illusory anymore. Does it? The USG is making crypto valid from a presidential standpoint on fighting against crime related to ransomware. Since the past few months, there have been many crypto-ransomware reported in the US.
