The NRCC will use BitPay to process contributions, which will be converted into U.S. dollars before being deposited to the committee's account, according to Axios' report. By not taking possession of the cryptocurrencies, the NRCC can accept individual donations of as much as $10,000 per year, avoiding the $100 maximum-value limit per year for cryptocurrency transfers.

Tom Emmer (R-Minn.) as saying in a statement.
Emmer is a co-chairman of the Congressional Blockchain Caucus and a member of the House Financial Services Committee.
