A month before the riots in Washington, the participants in the storming of the Capitol received $522,000 in bitcoin, analysts from Chainalysis said.


"It’s unclear to what degree the attack on the Capitol was planned in advance. ProPublica reports that in the weeks leading up, many Trump supporters discussed turning the event violent on Parler, a rightwing social media app now banned by most major tech platforms. However, we now have evidence that many alt-right groups and personalities, including Fuentes, received large Bitcoin donations in a single transaction that occurred a month before the riot on December 8. We have also gathered evidence that strongly suggests the donor was a now-deceased computer programmer based in France"


On January 6, Trump supporters broke into the Capitol, where Congress approved the results of the presidential election.

According to Chainalysis, on December 8, an unknown French blogger transferred 28.15 BTC to 22 wallets.  Far-right political commentator Nicholas Fuentes received the most 13.5 BTC during the assault, he spoke in the adjacent territory, analysts said.
