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.

"We are focused on pursuing every avenue possible to further our mission of stopping Nancy Pelosi’s socialist agenda and retaking the House majority, and this innovative technology will help provide Republicans the resources we need to succeed,” Axios cited NRCC Chairman Rep. Tom Emmer (R-Minn.) as saying in a statement.
