According to media reports, the National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC) will begin accepting political contributions in the form of cryptocurrencies – becoming the first major national party in the world to take this step. As first reported by Axios, the NRCC plans to use BitPay as the processing clearinghouse of digital donations going forward.
With BitPay as an intermediary, the crypto-funds will be converted into U.S. dollars, which will then be transferred to the NRCC coffers.
While there was no official statement or press release of the shift to accept digital currency contributions on its website, the NRCC Twitter handle did post this GIF along with a retweet of a link to the Axios story on Wednesday, June 16th.
