Trump has raised more than $4 million in campaign funds through crypto assets such as Bitcoin
Golden Finance reported that former US President Donald Trump's campaign aides revealed that Trump, as a Republican presidential candidate, has raised more than $4 million in funds from various digital tokens. According to a document from the Federal Election Commission, donors donated Bitcoin, Ethereum, Ripple's XRP token, stablecoin USDC, and various meme coins.
The documents show that at least 19 donors donated more than $2.15 million in Bitcoin to the committee.
Cryptocurrency billionaire twin brothers Tyler and Cameron Winklevoss took the lead in donations, each donating 15.57 Bitcoins, which was worth just over $1 million at the time of the donation. Because their donations exceeded the $844,600 limit, the documents show that some of the funds have been refunded. Mike Belshe, CEO of digital asset security company BitGo, donated $50,000 in Bitcoin.
