Attorney John Deaton will face off against two Republican candidates in a Massachusetts primary on Sept. 3.
John Deaton, the lawyer running as a Republican for a United States Senate seat in Massachusetts, said 82% of his net worth is in Bitcoin.
At the Bitcoin 2024 conference in Nashville on July 27, Deaton addressed his campaign against incumbent Senator Elizabeth Warren to a crowd of crypto enthusiasts. After disclosing his Bitcoin (BTC) holdings, the attorney referenced a 2022 interview with the Massachusetts senator, who suggested support for a central bank digital currency, or CBDC.
“I just disclosed to the Federal Election Commission that my net worth, 82%’s in Bitcoin, baby,” said Deaton.
