Winklevoss Twins Donate $21M BTC To Pro-Trump PAC Ahead Of US Midterms

Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss, co-founders of cryptocurrency exchange Gemini, dropped over $21M in Bitcoin to a pro-Trump PAC—yeah, that's 188 BTC at current prices—aiming to back his crypto agenda and secure a GOP majority in the 2026 midterms. Talk about putting your money where your mouth is!

In an X post, Tyler spilled the beans: they sent the BTC to the Digital Freedom Fund PAC to support Trump's crypto policies, push market structure laws, and fight for stuff like tax exemptions on small crypto gains. Because nothing says 'freedom' like tax-free Bitcoin, amirite?

This ain't their first rodeo—they already threw $2M BTC at Trump's 2024 campaign and $5M to the Fairshake PAC, which went all-in with $130M backing pro-crypto candidates. Fairshake's sitting on a $141M war chest for the 2026 elections, so expect more crypto cash flooding the polls.

The Digital Freedom Fund PAC was set up in July with treasurer Janna Rutland, who's linked to Vivek Ramaswamy's crew. Because why not mix crypto bros with political operatives for maximum chaos?

Post-donation, the twins got invites to Trump's inauguration and a White House crypto summit. Trump even shouted them out at the GENIUS Act signing—bipartisan stablecoin laws, folks! Plus, they invested in American Bitcoin, a mining biz tied to Trump's family. Cozy much?

But drama alert: they reportedly backtracked on supporting Brian Quintenz for CFTC chair, putting them at odds with crypto orgs who backed him. Senate Agriculture Committee delayed his nomination after the White House asked—spicy stuff in the regulatory world.
