- In September, FTX invested $40 million for a 30% stake in SkyBridge.
- The CEO has also expressed criticism towards government officials, including SEC Chairman Gary Gensler.
Skybridge CEO Anthony Scaramucci expressed his continued enthusiasm for Bitcoin despite facing criticism regarding his engagement in the cryptocurrency markets. He acknowledges the considerable challenges he must navigate. By the time Sam Bankman-Fried’s cryptocurrency exchange FTX filed for bankruptcy in November, he had already established both professional and personal ties with Scaramucci.
The CEO remarked:
“I’m not a cold figure in this space. I’m not an evangelist. I’m not one of these religious figures that’s going to chant ‘Bitcoin über alles’ no matter what is going on in life. So I want to frame it from that perspective, and then tell you that I’m more bullish now than I’ve ever been.”

He is now looking ahead to the next Bitcoin surge, hoping that regulatory bodies will cease hindering innovation. He noted that it was not until late 2021 or early 2022 that Bitcoin started to gain traction with a broader audience.
He has also voiced criticism of government officials, including SEC Chairman Gary Gensler. Consequently, he finds some reassurance in his belief that Bitcoin should be categorized as a commodity and not fall under SEC regulation.
The heightened scrutiny from U.S. regulators has prompted other countries to implement strict regulations concerning the cryptocurrency industry as a whole.
