CryptoWorld News reports that Michael Carbonara, the Republican candidate for Florida’s 22nd congressional district and a fintech entrepreneur, cashed out 10 BTC this month in exchange for USDC worth $800,000 to fund his congressional campaign. Carbonara founded the digital bank and payments company Ibanera in 2017 and said that his campaign team accepts external crypto donations and complies with the rules of the U.S. Federal Election Commission (FEC). FEC data shows that his campaign funds mainly come from $2.3 million in personal loans, with individual donations of about $50,000.

An old player who entered the market in 2017, now selling only 10 units is considered a long-term hold.

2.3 million out of pocket vs 50k external donations, even in the crypto context, can't stop the money burning.

Personal loan of 2.3 million, this leverage ratio is even more aggressive than DeFi lending.

Sold at $800k, this take-profit point is more accurate than most traders.
