The Federal Election Commission’s (FEC) 2014 advisory opinion currently serves as the main reference point for crypto campaign donations, ruling that BTC is an “in-kind donation” — a form of contribution that provides goods and services, rather than the money to purchase those goods and services.
Cointelegraph reported in May that a Colorado initiative proposing that crypto campaigns donations would be capped the same as fiat ones, with anonymous contributions limited to $20, could serve as a precedent if passed.
