Robert F. Kennedy Jr.—Democratic candidate for president, scion of the Kennedy family, and noted vaccine skeptic—Bitcoin his family trust owns is relatively minuscule compared to his and his family’s string of assets, which include hundreds of thousands of dollars in cash, properties worth millions, and a suite of stocks, bonds, and money-market holdings.
The Kennedy campaign did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Fortune. His campaign manager, former Democratic Rep. Dennis Kucinich, told CNBC that Kennedy’s trust bought the Bitcoin after the candidate’s comments at the Miami conference. “There is no conflict here,” he said, referring to any perceived conflict of interest between Kennedy’s Bitcoin investment and his Bitcoin boosterism as a presidential candidate.
