Keisha Lance Bottoms, former mayor of Atlanta and member of the global advisory board of cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase, will join President Joe Biden's 2024 U.S. presidential election campaign.
According to Ebony on June 26, Lance Bottoms said she would join the Biden campaign as a senior adviser. She served as mayor of Atlanta from 2018 to 2022 and joined the Coinbase advisory board in April 2024 after resigning as a White House adviser in 2023.
Lance Bottoms will remain at Coinbase during Biden’s presidential campaign, which is expected to end in November when American voters go to the polls, The Hill reported on June 27. The former mayor said that cryptocurrency is an “apolitical and unifying issue,” the news outlet reported.
Whether Lance Bottoms will advise the Biden campaign on cryptocurrency-related issues is unclear. Reports have suggested that the U.S. president is considering accepting crypto donations from supporters and meeting with lawmakers to discuss digital assets.
Ahead of the debate between President Biden and Donald Trump on June 26, Lance Bottoms spoke at one of the Coinbase Stand With Crypto events in Atlanta. The advocacy group called on users to contact CNN hosts Jake Tapper and Dana Bash to ask them to address cryptocurrency-related issues during the debate.
“Atlanta has a thriving black blockchain community,” Lance Bottoms said at the Stand With Crypto event in Atlanta, according to The Hill. “Cryptocurrency provides an opportunity to strengthen financial freedom for communities that are often unbanked and underserved by banks.”

In February, former U.S. Rep. Sean Patrick Maloney said he would resign from Coinbase if President Biden nominated him to represent the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development. Maloney was one of the original advisory members of the committee when Coinbase formed it in May 2023.
Since Coinbase launched Stand With Crypto in 2023, the group’s political action committee (PAC) has grown to over 1 million followers and has actively campaigned for or against candidates at the state and federal level. Coinbase is one of the main backers behind the Fairshake Super PAC, which has launched attack ads against many of the politicians rated as anti-cryptocurrency on Stand With Crypto.
