At a Turning Point USA event dedicated to the memory of the late right-wing political activist Charlie Kirk, Carlson stated that he avoids investing in anything he doesn't fully understand, especially assets of dubious origin. Carlson believes it's inadvisable to invest in a digital asset created by an unknown entity who still has access to a huge number of untouched digital coins.

"You're advising me to invest in a product whose founder remains a mystery and which holds billions of dollars in unused bitcoin? No one has been able to explain who Satoshi Nakamoto really was. No one can answer that question, including the largest bitcoin holders in the world," Carlson complained.

According to the former TV host, some of his acquaintances who bought bitcoin disagree with him. While the identity of Satoshi Nakamoto isn't important to them, it is important to Tucker Carlson. Despite concerns about the cryptocurrency's origins, the journalist said he admires the principles behind Bitcoin, as they promise financial independence.

"I don't want my purchases and sales tracked. I don't want my money tracked. It's nobody's business. I pay my taxes... So Bitcoin is a great idea," Carlson said.

Last year, Tucker Carlson speculated that Bitcoin could have been created by the US Central Intelligence Agency. Earlier, in an interview with former kickboxer Andrew Tate, the journalist joked that inventing a fake token, FTX, in honor of the bankrupt crypto exchange FTX, would make him a hero.
