Winklevoss twins donate $21M in BTC to pro-Trump PAC ahead of US midterms
The Gemini co-founders, with a combined net worth in the billions, have said they will make another political contribution in support of US President Donald Trump’s crypto agenda.
Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss, co-founders of cryptocurrency exchange Gemini, said they had sent more than $21 million worth of Bitcoin to a political action committee (PAC) with the expressed intention of helping US President Donald Trump’s crypto agenda with a Republican majority in Congress.
In a Wednesday X post, Tyler Winklevoss said they contributed more than 188 Bitcoin (BTC), worth about $21 million at the time, to the Digital Freedom Fund PAC.
According to the Gemini co-founders, their goal with the contribution was to “support President Trump and his Administration’s efforts” related to crypto policy by attempting to influence the 2026 US midterm elections, support market structure legislation, and “fight for” other issues related to digital assets and blockchain.
