  • The Winklevoss twins, Tyler and Cameron, each donated $500,000 in bitcoin to the campaign of John Deaton, a Republican candidate running against Senator Elizabeth Warren for the U.S. Senate seat in Massachusetts.
  • Tyler Winklevoss called Warren “crypto’s public enemy number one” and accused her of driving the Biden Administration’s “war on crypto.”
  • Earlier, Ripple Labs donated $1 million to a super PAC supporting Deaton’s campaign against Warren.

The billionaire Winklevoss twins have donated $1 million worth of bitcoin to John Deaton, who is running against Senator Elizabeth Warren in the race to become the next US Senator from Massachusetts. This represents the latest foray by the prominent crypto investors into political campaign donations.

Donations to Support Anti-Crypto Senator’s Challenger

Tyler and Cameron Winklevoss announced in separate social media posts that they will each be contributing $500,000 in bitcoin to Deaton’s campaign. The Republican challenger has positioned himself as pro-bitcoin and pro-crypto, in contrast to Senator Warren’s critical stance on the digital asset industry.

In his post, Tyler Winklevoss referred to Warren as “crypto’s public enemy number one” and “the chief architect and driver of the Biden Administration’s war on crypto.” Meanwhile, Cameron Winklevoss described Deaton as “pro-bitcoin” and “pro-crypto” in signaling his support.

The donations from the Gemini exchange founders follow a $1 million contribution in fiat currency to a pro-Deaton super PAC from blockchain company Ripple Labs earlier this week. Deaton accepts cryptocurrency donations directly through his campaign website.

Winklevosses Previously Donated to Trump

The Winklevoss twins have actively donated to Republican political causes in recent election cycles. Last month, they contributed $2 million to former President Donald Trump’s 2024 presidential campaign. They also gave $250,000 each to a pro-Trump super PAC.

Despite dismissing bitcoin in the past, Trump has rebranded himself as crypto-friendly in the current election environment. The donations from prominent industry figures like the Winklevosses underscore the political divide that has emerged around digital assets and blockchain technology.
