Tucker Carlson has selected Swan Bitcoin as the primary sponsor for his nationwide tour, combining political discussions with Bitcoin education to effectively reach a wide audience.
Swan Bitcoin views this sponsorship as a strategic maneuver to further its educational initiatives, with a specific focus on Bitcoin. The company has declared its intention to include hundreds of thousands of individuals in more than 15 places and millions online, referring to it as a significant potential for Bitcoin education.
CEO Cory Klippsten clarified the agreement, emphasizing that Carlson’s team expressly wanted a sponsor that exclusively deals with Bitcoin.
The prearranged tour, scheduled prior to the 2024 presidential election, is to incorporate interactive dialogues with prominent political leaders such as Tulsi Gabbard and Vivek Ramaswamy, who endorse Bitcoin and express disapproval towards central bank digital currencies (CBDCs).
With a staggering 12.9 million followers on X, Carlson possesses considerable influence in political and financial discourse, guaranteeing a substantial and engaged audience for the tour.
Swan’s collaboration with Carlson aligns with his previous discussions with prominent Bitcoin proponents, including El Salvador President Nayib Bukele and MicroStrategy’s Michael Saylor.
Nevertheless, the collaboration has received backlash, as many internet users express concerns that Swan’s sponsorship may be in line with Carlson’s conservative political perspectives. Swan acknowledges the concerns but emphasizes the educational benefit of Bitcoin.
He believes that Bitcoin has the potential to bridge political divides and advocates for its widespread adoption, taking use of Carlson’s influence.
