Senator Ted Cruz is betting on Bitcoin (CCC:BTC-USD) with news of a major purchase last month revealed in a Senate filing.
The Republican Senator of Texas revealed he purchased between $15,001 and $50,000 worth of BTC in January. This saw him acquiring the crypto when it was trading between $36,000 and $37,000.
News of Sen. Cruz’s Bitcoin purchase comes after the crypto experienced a selloff last month that saw its price drop. That also dragged down several other cryptos as well and only recently are we seeing them bounce back.
Bitcoin is part of the resurgence as the crypto is trading for about $43,862 per token as of this writing. If that positive momentum continues, then Cruz might have made the right decision in buying BTC while it was down.
But why does the Republican Senator have an interest in Bitcoin to begin with? That’s not hard to figure out. Texas is becoming the home of many crypto miners and Cruz has been going to bat for them at the Senate. That includes objecting to new crypto taxes, as well as pushing for methods that allow vendors to easily accept the digital assets, reports CNBC.
