Republican Senator Ted Cruz from Texas has announced that he purchased three application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) bitcoin miners. “I just bought 3 Bitcoin miners that started hashing today in Iraan, TX,” the Senator stated on X this week. “I’m proud to join the ranks of Texas bitcoin miners,” he added. Cruz is an ardent advocate of bitcoin ( BTC) and the cryptocurrency sector at large. He has pushed for Texas to become an “oasis” and the most welcoming place for the blockchain and crypto industry. In 2022, he invested $50,000 in bitcoin, underscoring his personal commitment to the cryptocurrency. Cruz staunchly opposes the Federal Reserve’s development of a central bank digital currency ( CBDC). He has consistently put forth legislation to prevent the Fed from creating a CBDC, highlighting worries about privacy, government overreach, and financial surveillance.
