A newly released 2026 financial disclosure for Attorney General Todd Blanche states that the Justice Department's Inspector General declined further action regarding several cryptocurrency transactions previously disclosed by Blanche.
- The OGE annotation specifically references Blanche's reported transactions involving Bitcoin, Solana, Ethereum Classic, Polygon, Polkadot, Quant and Ethereum.
- Blanche reported selling $100,001-$250,000 of Bitcoin and $15,001-$50,000 of Ethereum in June 2025, along with smaller cryptocurrency positions.
- Blanche issued an April 2025 DOJ memo changing the department's digital-asset enforcement policy and disbanding the National Cryptocurrency Enforcement Team before completing his crypto divestitures.
- The Campaign Legal Center later asked the DOJ Inspector General to investigate whether Blanche's participation violated federal conflict-of-interest law.
- The OGE filing says only that the DOJ IG "declined further action" and does not provide the Inspector General's reasoning or characterize the matter as an exoneration.
