CoinVoice has recently learned that according to CNBC, former US President Donald Trump's campaign aides revealed that Trump, as a Republican presidential candidate, has raised more than $4 million from various digital tokens. According to a document from the Federal Election Commission, donors donated Bitcoin, Ethereum, Ripple's XRP token, stablecoin USDC, and various meme coins.
The more than 1,000-page report shows the total fundraising of the "Trump 47" joint fundraising committee from April 1 to June 30. The committee raised more than $118 million during this period and paid money to the Trump campaign, the Republican National Committee and other parties, according to document records. The documents show that at least 19 donors donated more than $2.15 million in Bitcoin to the committee. The donors came from 12 states, including some states with fierce elections. Their occupations include housewives, US military officers, missionaries, painters, sales representatives of a pizza company, and a security technician at the State Department.
Crypto billionaire twin brothers Tyler and Cameron Winklevoss led the donations, each donating 15.57 bitcoins, or just over $1 million at the time of the donation. Because their donation exceeded the $844,600 limit, documents show that some of the funds were returned. Mike Belshe, CEO of digital asset security company BitGo, donated $50,000 in bitcoin.
