During the Bitcoin conference, political figures raised a record $21 million.

Recently, a special fundraising event attracted widespread attention during the 2024 Bitcoin Conference. According to reports, the campaign team of a well-known political figure successfully raised $21 million, a remarkable figure.

The funds mainly came from a fundraising event held after a speech last Saturday. The event, organized by a Republican senator from Tennessee, attracted about 100 participants. Attendees had to pay up to $844,600 each to have a "roundtable meeting" with the politician. Even just taking a group photo would cost at least $60,000.

A well-known figure in the industry stated that this is the second highest amount raised by this political figure in three campaign events. He also revealed that this funding primarily comes from within the industry and large investors.

It is worth noting that this political figure previously stated publicly that he personally held between $100,000 and $250,000 in cryptocurrencies in 2022. According to official documents, his entire campaign raised $221 million and currently has a cash reserve of $128 million.

The success of this fundraising event not only demonstrates the influence of the cryptocurrency industry on politics but also reflects the attention that certain political figures are paying to this emerging field. As digital assets continue to develop globally, their intersections with traditional political and economic fields will also increase. In the future, we may see more similar integrations and interactions.
