David Sacks just wrapped his130-day run as Trump's AI and Crypto Czar at the White House. The venture capitalist and Craft Ventures founder hit the legal limit for special government employees and confirmed the news Thursday in a Bloomberg Television interview. During his stint he held direct access to the Oval Office and was the loudest Silicon Valley voice shaping the administration's aggressive tech and crypto policy agenda. He played a key role in organizing the White House Crypto Summit back in March 2025 and was central to the national AI legislative framework unveiled just last week.He is not disappearing from the picture though. Sacks will now co-chair PCAST which is the President's Council of Advisors on Science and Technology and said he plans to keep pushing Trump's AI agenda forward from that seat. The White House confirmed it does not plan to name a replacement AI czar. His influence on the administration's direction on both AI and crypto is expected to continue even without the official title. For the market the takeaway is simple: the policy architecture Sacks helped build is not going anywhere and the regulatory tailwinds he engineered for the crypto space remain intact.
