Like a16z with an American Dynamism practice while also having massive investments in crypto where many (like Balaji for instance) are advocating for exit from the U.S. and looking for ways to circumvent the US monetary system, which is one of the most powerful tools the US has to enforce its will globally

Edit to add that this also goes for plenty of companies: See Microsoft with their AI center in Beijing despite being a major provider of services to the U.S. government.
