Former Bridgewater CEO McCormick Doubles Down on Bitcoin Investments Amid Upcoming Legislation

Dave McCormick, who transitioned from CEO of a leading hedge fund to a U.S. senator, is heavily investing in Bitcoin as legislative discussions on cryptocurrency regulation loom.

Key Points:

  • Senator David McCormick has invested significantly in Bitcoin, potentially exceeding one million dollars this year, coinciding with legislative efforts on cryptocurrency regulation.
  • His financial disclosures reflect substantial investments in the Bitwise Bitcoin ETF that range between $310,000 and $700,000 recently.

McCormick’s new funding follows earlier disclosures indicating investments amounting to around $450,000 in February, suggesting a trend towards becoming a leading stakeholder in the cryptocurrency sector within Congress.

The senator, previously the CEO of Bridgewater Associates, is focused on digital asset legislation due to his participation in the Senate Banking Committee’s subcommittee leading efforts in this area.

During his candidacy, McCormick emphasized the necessity for America to take a lead role in the cryptocurrency landscape, advocating for collaborative legislative measures with various political figures.

Despite significant interests in Bitcoin, his recent funding activities are largely directed toward municipal securities.
