ChainCatcher News, U.S. Senator Ted Cruz's official website shows that he has officially started accepting Bitcoin as campaign donations for his Senate run, with support for transactions provided by Bitcoin payment company OpenNode, allowing payments to be made via on-chain or Lightning Network transactions.

Over the past few years, Ted Cruz has been a strong advocate for Bitcoin in the Senate, particularly in terms of energy. He believes that the Bitcoin industry "is bringing tremendous benefits to Texas and the United States."

In April of this year, during a fireside chat at the Bitcoin Policy Summit, Cruz attempted to educate Washington more about Bitcoin, revealing that he owns "a little over 2 Bitcoins, and I add a little bit every Monday… I am particularly optimistic about Bitcoin."
