Texas Blockchain Council Endorses Ted Cruz for Senate Reelection

As a seasoned analyst with a deep interest in emerging technologies and their impact on society, I find myself intrigued by the Texas Blockchain Council’s endorsement of Senator Ted Cruz for reelection. Having followed Cruz’s trajectory since his tenure began in 2013, it is clear that he has been a consistent advocate for Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies.


The Texas Blockchain Council (TBC) has publicly backed Senator Ted Cruz’s bid for re-election to the U.S. Senate. This endorsement was made known by TBC President Lee Bratcher on August 12th, during Cruz’s tour of Core Scientific’s mining facility in Denton, Texas.

The TXblockchain Council is thrilled to give their approval to Senator Ted Cruz! Earlier today, Senator Cruz addressed an audience of more than 150 individuals at the Core Scientific Denton Bitcoin Mining Data Center. During his speech, he emphasized Bitcoin’s role in preserving freedom and highlighted mining as a means for maintaining grid stability.

Senator Cruz has been vocal about his support for Bitcoin and various digital currencies. The Texas Blockchain Council’s backing stems from Cruz’s grasp of Bitcoin’s significance in fostering financial autonomy and the possible advantages crypto mining could bring to Texas’s power system.

Ever since he assumed his role in the Senate back in 2013, Ted Cruz has consistently advocated for the adoption of cryptocurrencies within the state of Texas. Notably, significant crypto-mining corporations such as Riot Platforms and Core Scientific are based in this very state.

Apart from that, he’s delivered speeches at several unspecified gatherings, such as the North American Blockchain Conference and the Blockchain Summit, where he elaborated on how Bitcoin mining could benefit a region’s power grid infrastructure with its positive effects.

In the approaching November election, Senator Ted Cruz is set to face off against Democrat Colin Allred, Libertarian Ted Brown, and Democratic write-in candidate Tracy Andrus. Based on a recent poll by ActiVote, Cruz currently has an eight-point lead over Allred as of mid-July.
