Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss have donated $21 million to the Digital Freedom Fund, a super PAC they founded. The donation, made entirely in Bitcoin, is aimed at supporting candidates who favor cryptocurrency innovation and a “pro-crypto” regulatory environment.
Tyler and Cameron Winklevoss, co-founders of Gemini, contributed 188 Bitcoins to the Digital Freedom Fund PAC on Wednesday, according to a recent post on X.
New Crypto PAC Sees A Boost From Crypto Billionaires
The twin billionaires donated the crypto bulk sum to establish “America’s Golden Age,” as indicated in the social media post from August 20.
Tyler Winklevoss wrote, “Today, @cameron and I contributed $21 million in bitcoin (188.4547 BTC) to the Digital Freedom Fund PAC.” “The @FreedomFundPAC’s objective is to assist in realizing President Trump’s vision of transforming the United States into the global crypto capital.”
The announcement includes a list of ten objectives that the Digital Freedom Fund PAC will concentrate on in the crypto sector, including the defeat of Democrats in the 2026 midterm elections, protections for software developers, and the passage of open banking legislation.
Additionally, he stated, “@POTUS and his Administration have been exceeding the promises they made during the campaign trail since their inauguration.” “We aspire for this unprecedented momentum and progress to persist.” Our objective is to assist President Trump and his administration in their endeavors to establish America’s Golden Age further.
Winklevoss Twins Back Republican Causes
The Winklevosses have been prominent members of the Republican Party for an extended period, supporting U.S. President Donald Trump in the 2024 U.S. presidential election.
The pair contributed $5 million to Fairshake, a super PAC focusing on cryptocurrency, and $2 million to Trump’s 2024 campaign.
Politico recently reported that the twins, despite Tyler’s endorsement of Brian Quintenz’s nomination earlier this year, urged Trump to deny him the position of chairman of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC).
Tyler expressed his congratulations to Brian in a post on February X. “Well-deserved.” An excellent decision for both the cryptocurrency industry and the United States.
The Winklevoss brothers’ $21 million Bitcoin donation is their most recent endeavor to influence U.S. crypto policy, indicating their sustained engagement in shaping digital assets’ political landscape and support for Trump’s agenda.
