"I just donated $1 million in bitcoin (15.47 BTC) to [Donald Trump] and will be voting for him in November," Tyler Winklevoss said in his post .

"The Biden Administration has openly declared war against crypto. It has weaponized multiple government agencies to bully, harass, and sue the good actors in our industry in an effort to destroy it," the Gemini CEO also said in a lengthy explanation of why he thinks Trump is the better choice for president.

Tyler's twin brother Cameron Winklevoss followed suit, also posting his reasons for donating $1 million worth of bitcoin to Trump. "President Trump is: pro-bitcoin, pro-crypto, pro-business," he said.
