According to sources, the dinner was by invitation only. This came just hours after the Federal Reserve announced its latest policy decision. The dinner took place during the Feds communication blackout period, which prohibits Fed officials from publicly commenting on the economic situation or monetary policy in the days before and after a meeting, and lasts until the day after the meeting (Thursday). While the Feds rules do not explicitly prohibit closed-door meetings, they require officials to avoid sharing personal policy views with anyone who might financially benefit from them, unless those views are publicly available. The rules also state that officials should not allow any company to gain a prestige advantage relative to its competitors. Under the Feds communication policy, policymakers should carefully and rigorously consider this principle when arranging meetings with those who might benefit from exclusive access to Fed officials, and when considering accepting invitations to meetings hosted by for-profit organizations or not open to the public and media. It is unclear whether Bowmans attendance at the dinner violated these rules.

The Wall Street Journal reported on Tuesday that Fidelity Investments will allow investors to establish a bitcoin account to their 401(k) retirement savings and investment programs.


Fidelity Investments, the first large retirement plan provider to do so, announced on Tuesday that individuals will be able to invest a portion of their retirement savings in bitcoin through their 401(k) investing plans.


MicroStrategy Inc, a prominent bitcoin corporate sponsor, will be the first company to use the new product, which will be offered to other companies by the middle of the year, according to the family-controlled asset manager.


Employees will be able to invest in bitcoin through a Digital Assets Account (DAA) within the basic lineup of their 401(k) plans as part of the new offering, according to Fidelity.


Newfront, a retirement consulting services provider, has also suggested that the DAA will help fulfill a rising need among their client base, according to Fidelity.


Plan sponsors will be able to decide on employee contributions to the DAA and set restrictions on how much of that money can be exchanged for bitcoin, according to Fidelity, who also stated that further information about the new product will be available in the coming months.


According to the Wall Street Journal, which was the first to publish the news, Dave Gray, president of Fidelity's workplace retirement solutions and platforms, said the scheme will initially be restricted to bitcoin, but that other digital assets will be made available in the future.


The news comes after US President Joe Biden signed an executive order in March mandating that the government study the dangers and benefits of developing a central bank digital currency, as well as other cryptocurrency concerns.
