Democratic presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. confirmed that his family owns between $100,001 and $250,000 worth of Bitcoin in a brokerage account as of June 30.
According to CNBC, which acquired a financial disclosure, Kennedy had bought Bitcoin despite previously saying he was not an investor in Bitcoin, and claiming that it was owned by his wife. Democratic Rep. Dennis Kucinich, the campaign manager for Kennedy, claimed that there is no conflict of interest and that the transaction happened after Kennedy made supportive comments about Bitcoin in Miami.
Among Democratic contenders, Kennedy has been a vocal proponent of Bitcoin, and his campaign announced that it will take Bitcoin payments. Some well-known members of the cryptocurrency space have endorsed Kennedy, notably Block CEO Jack Dorsey, who declared last month that Kennedy "can and will" defeat Florida Governor Ron DeSantis or Donald Trump in the general election. However, a recent poll indicates that 65% of voters would choose President Joe Biden in the Democratic presidential primaries, as opposed to 14% who would support Kennedy.
