RFK Holds Up to $250K BTC In A Brokerage Account, Financial Records Show
On his June 30 financial disclosure report, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. listed a brokerage account that held between $100,001 and $250,000 worth of bitcoin.
- Kennedy, who is running for president, told bitcoiners at Bitcoin 2023 conference in May that he was not an investor in bitcoin.
- "The filing does not say when the Kennedy family purchased bitcoin and how much they may have spent on their original bitcoin investment," per CNBC.
- "Hours after publication of this story, the Kennedy campaign said that the bitcoin investment was his wife’s. Later, the campaign then said it was indeed Kennedy’s investment."
"Bitcoin is not only a bulwark against totalitarianism and the manipulation of our money supply, it points the way toward a future in which government institutions are more transparent and more democratic,” Kennedy tweeted recently.
- "Kennedy is part of a cadre of pro-bitcoin candidates that spans Republican Senator Ted Cruz and other presidential hopefuls like Florida governor Ron DeSantis," wrote The Block.
