Bitcoin appears in the Epstein documents primarily through emails revealing that cryptocurrency investor Brock Pierce (Tether co-founder) pitched Bitcoin to former Treasury Secretary Larry Summers at Epstein's Manhattan townhouse, and through correspondence showing Epstein funded MIT's Digital Currency Initiative and lobbied for crypto tax policy.
The most substantive mentions involve emails documenting a Bitcoin meeting at Epstein's residence where Brock Pierce discussed cryptocurrency investment with Larry Summers, with Epstein apparently facilitating access between crypto entrepreneurs and influential policymakers. Additional emails show Epstein's role in funding MIT Media Lab's Bitcoin development work and his efforts to influence crypto taxation policy through Steve Bannon. However, roughly half of the mentions (11 of 22) appear in automated newsletter emails discussing Bitcoin's mainstream adoption and price movements, with no substantive connection to Epstein.
