U.S. Senator Ted Cruz's official website shows that he has officially begun accepting Bitcoin as donations for his Senate campaign. Bitcoin payment company OpenNode provides support for transactions, and payments can be made through on-chain or Lightning Network transactions.
Ted Cruz has been an active supporter of Bitcoin in the Senate over the past few years, especially in the energy context. He believes that the Bitcoin industry is “bringing huge benefits to Texas and the United States.”
In April, during a fireside chat at the Bitcoin Policy Summit, Cruz attempted to educate Washington more about Bitcoin, revealing that he owned “a little over 2 Bitcoins, and every Monday I A little overweight...I’m particularly bullish on Bitcoin.” (Bitcoin Magazine)
