US presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. disclosed that he invested in Bitcoin earlier this year, buying two BTC for each of his seven children. This move came after facing criticism for promoting the cryptocurrency without having any personal stake in it.
Kennedy clarified that he made the investment right after attending a Bitcoin conference where he announced his decision to accept campaign donations in Bitcoin.
“Right after that Bitcoin conference, I got a big check, and I said, okay, you know, I’m going to put my money where my mouth is.”
During the conference, he denied having any personal investment in the cryptocurrency. However, he later decided to invest in Bitcoin to demonstrate his commitment to the technology and its potential.
