Jeffrey Epstein and the Early Bitcoin Power Network (Part 1) (9/22/26)

Newly released records show that Jeffrey Epstein cultivated a surprisingly deep relationship with the emerging cryptocurrency world years after his 2008 conviction, positioning himself as an investor, connector and adviser while Bitcoin and other digital assets were still in their infancy. The records detail his dealings with crypto entrepreneur Brock Pierce, who introduced Epstein to early investment opportunities, including Coinbase, and show Epstein discussing Bitcoin with figures such as Peter Thiel and former Treasury Secretary Larry Summers. Epstein ultimately put millions of dollars into crypto-related ventures and maintained relationships with people at the center of the industry, while also using those connections to expand his access to powerful figures in finance, technology and politics. The documents also show Epstein communicating with Steve Bannon, the former Trump adviser, about cryptocurrency contacts and people connected to Pierce’s network.

The records also reveal that Epstein viewed cryptocurrency as more than an investment opportunity and apparently saw it as a potential instrument of geopolitical influence. In 2013, correspondence involving former Norwegian prime minister Thorbjørn Jagland discussed the possibility of presenting Russian President Vladimir Putin with a proposal involving cryptocurrency and attracting investment to Russia; Epstein’s calendar subsequently included an entry to prepare a “Putin Paper.” There is no public evidence that Epstein ultimately met Putin to deliver the proposal, but the episode adds another layer to the increasingly documented picture of Epstein operating simultaneously across finance, technology and international political circles. Taken together, the records show that Epstein was not simply observing the early cryptocurrency boom from the sidelines: he was investing in it, introducing people within it and attempting to place himself at the intersection of digital finance and global power.
