Mining execs establish organization to influence US crypto voters
A board member of the Bitcoin Voter Project described the group as nonpartisan and planned to take a different approach than initiatives like Stand With Crypto.
Three executives representing some of the largest cryptocurrency mining companies in the United States have helped launch a nonprofit organization to educate voters on Bitcoin (BTC).
Jayson Browder, the senior vice president of government affairs at mining firm Marathon Digital Holdings, told Cointelegraph that he and two executives from Riot Platforms and CleanSpark formed the board members of the Bitcoin Voter Project. Browder said the group was registered as a 501(c)(4) in the United States.
In contrast to a political action committee (PAC), organizations registered under a 501(c)(4) cannot primarily support one candidate or political party. The launch of the voting project came less than 24 hours after different representatives from Marathon, CleanSpark, TeraWulf and Riot met with former U.S. President Donald Trump, which led to the recently convicted felon wanting “all the remaining Bitcoin mining to be made in the USA.”
