The Winklevoss twins, known for their legal battle with Mark Zuckerberg over Facebook, have been refunded for their Bitcoin donations to Donald Trump's presidential campaign. The twins, who are prominent Bitcoin investors through Winklevoss Capital Management, donated $1 million each in Bitcoin, exceeding the legal limit of $844,600 per person.

Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss, the founders of Gemini, a cryptocurrency exchange, made the donations to support Trump's campaign. They believe Trump is a pro-Bitcoin and pro-crypto candidate, unlike President Joe Biden, who they claim has openly declared war against cryptocurrency.

The twins' donations were refunded, with the amount exceeding the legal limit returned to them. It is unclear whether the refund was made in Bitcoin or cash. The donated money is split among Trump's campaign, his leadership political action committee, the Republican National Committee, and 42 GOP state party committees.

The Winklevoss twins have been vocal about their support for Trump, citing his pro-business stance and his supposed pro-Bitcoin and pro-crypto views. They have also been critical of Biden's policies, which they believe are stifling innovation in the crypto sector.

Trump's relationship with Bitcoin is complicated. While he initially expressed skepticism about the cryptocurrency, he has recently positioned himself as a Bitcoin advocate. His campaign has been wooing the crypto industry, promising to ease regulations and support the sector.

The Winklevoss twins' donations reflect their commitment to supporting Trump's campaign and their belief in his pro-crypto stance. The refund highlights the complexities of campaign finance and the legal limits on individual donations.
