“Today, @cameron and I donated $21 million in bitcoin (188.4547 BTC) to the Digital Freedom Fund PAC,” Tyler Winklevoss stated. “The mission of the @FreedomFundPAC is to help realize President Trump’s vision of making America the crypto capital of the world.”
The announcement includes a set of ten priorities that the Digital Freedom Fund PAC intends to pursue within the cryptocurrency sector, such as safeguarding software developers, advocating for open banking legislation, and working to defeat Democrats in the 2026 midterm elections.
“Since inauguration, @POTUS and his Administration have been fulfilling the commitments made during the campaign and more,” he continued. “We aim for this exceptional progress and momentum to persist. Our objective is to support President Trump and his Administration’s initiatives to continue ushering in America’s Golden Age.”
Winklevoss Twins Support Republican Initiatives
The Winklevoss twins have consistently been outspoken supporters of the Republican Party, endorsing U.S. President Donald Trump in the upcoming 2024 presidential election.
The pair has contributed $5 million to the crypto-centric super PAC Fairshake and $2 million to Trump’s 2024 campaign.
Recently, Politico reported that the twins urged Trump to oppose the nomination of Brian Quintenz as chairman of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), despite Tyler having previously commended his nomination earlier this year.
“Congratulations Brian,” Tyler remarked in a February post on X. “Well deserved. Great choice for crypto and for America.”
The Winklevoss brothers’ $21 million Bitcoin contribution represents their latest initiative to impact U.S. cryptocurrency policy, underscoring their backing of Trump’s agenda and indicating ongoing involvement in shaping the political environment surrounding digital assets.
