Tyler and Cameron Winklevoss, best known for their lawsuit against Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg and as founders of the Gemini crypto exchange, donated over 188 bitcoin to the Digital Freedom Fund PAC to support Trump’s pro-crypto agenda.
Tyler announced via X: “Today, @cameron and I donated $21 million in bitcoin (188.4547 BTC) to the Digital Freedom Fund PAC. The mission of the @FreedomFundPAC is to help realize President Trump’s vision of making America the crypto capital of the world.”
One of the issues the PAC will focus on is helping Republicans retain control of Congress during the 2026 midterms, adding: “We will identify and support champions of President Trump’s crypto agenda in primary races and the midterm elections.”
The Winklevoss twin further cautioned that if the GOP loses the majority in either chamber, “Democrats will have power to slow down and interfere with President Trump’s agenda. We know from their past behavior that they will resort to whatever bad faith tactics and tricks they can think of (e.g., bogus impeachments, lawfare, etc.) to try to derail the President. We don’t want that. We want the American Golden Age and we are ready to fight for it.”
He added: “We will fight for thoughtful Market Structure legislation that enshrines the freedoms that will allow the crypto industry to thrive and avoids the pitfalls of overregulation, bloated licensing regimes, and increased red tape that only serves to choke off innovation, grow the Regulatory Industrial Complex, and empower the swamp.”
Winklevoss said they will push for a “Bitcoin & Crypto Bill of Rights” to guarantee ownership, self-custody, and peer-to-peer use of digital assets. CoinShares reports crypto ETFs have gained inflows after Trump backed opening 401(k)s to alternative investments.
“We will fight for legislation that bans Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs) and other totalitarian technologies that tread on your freedoms and can be easily wielded by power hungry politicians and unelected bureaucrats to encroach upon and take away your liberty,” he declared.
Both brothers, more notoriously known for their feud with Zuckerberg during the early days of Facebook’s controversial founding, supported Trump last year ahead of the 2024 presidential election. In 2004, the Winklevoss twins sued Zuckerberg, claiming he stole their ConnectU social media idea to create Facebook.
Today, @cameron and I donated $21 million in bitcoin (188.4547 BTC) to the Digital Freedom Fund PAC. The mission of the @FreedomFundPAC is to help realize President Trump’s vision of making America the crypto capital of the world. Since inauguration, @POTUS and his Administration…
