Gemini co-founders and cryptocurrency advocates Tyler and Cameron Winklevoss announced Thursday that they have each donated $500,000 in Bitcoin to help Senator Elizabeth Warren defeat the U.S. Senate election in November.
It is reported that Winklevoss has publicly opposed Warren many times before, calling the senior Massachusetts senator "one of the biggest threats to American prosperity." Tyler Winklevoss wrote on the X platform on Thursday: "When it comes to cryptocurrency, she is public enemy number one. She is the main planner and promoter of the Biden administration's war on cryptocurrency." In order to defeat Warren, the brothers donated a total of $1 million in Bitcoin to the campaign of Republican challenger John Deaton, who supports cryptocurrency, 8 BTC each. (Decrypt)
