Winklevoss brothers donate $100 million worth of Bitcoin to MAGA

Golden Finance reported that on July 22, CryptoSlate reported that the latest filings from the U.S. Federal Election Commission (FEC) show that on June 19, 2026, Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss donated Bitcoin worth $10,018,464.91 to the Trump-aligned super PAC MAGA Inc. (with $5,006,604.47 and $5,011,860.44, respectively). This donation took place 23 days after the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) announced it would join Gemini’s lawsuit, seeking to overturn the 2025 ruling. FEC records show that the commission sold the donated Bitcoin via Gemini.
The CFTC previously said that, because the original complaint was based on unreliable whistleblower statements and had procedural defects, a lawsuit should not have been brought under current standards. It therefore agreed to jointly request that the court vacate the consent decree with Gemini, but the $5 million penalty paid by Gemini in 2025 would not be refunded.
