Top US Cryptocurrency Mining Operators Launch Non-Profit Bitcoin Voting Project

According to Odaily, executives from three major US cryptocurrency mining companies have established a non-profit organization called the Bitcoin Voter Project. The purpose of this initiative is to disseminate information about Bitcoin to voters and is expected to be launched before the 2024 presidential election. Jayson Browder, Senior Vice President of Political Affairs government at Marathon Digital Holdings, along with two executives from Riot Platforms and CleanSpark, form the organization's board of directors.

The Bitcoin Voter Project is registered in the United States as a 501(c)(4) organization, which means it cannot primarily support a specific candidate or political party. The project has approximately $5 million allocated for research and voter education, with the goal of encouraging voters to support candidates who support digital assets. Unlike Coinbase's stance on Crypto PAC, the Bitcoin Voter Project has not yet listed specific candidates or crypto-related legislation.

Representatives from several pro-cryptocurrency organizations, including the Chamber of Digital Commerce and the Texas Blockchain Council, have expressed support for the Bitcoin Voter Project. As of June 14, hundreds of people have registered with this organization$BTC
