Andrew Yang was the presidential candidate crypto fans were rooting for, until he bowed out in February. He’s now launched a new non-profit, Humanity Forward, which plans to embody the spirit of the Yang 2020 campaign—tackling issues including the “data dividend” and universal basic income (UBI).
Humanity Forward will focus first on a “data dividend” campaign to fight for consumers rights to their personal data, Yang said. The non-profit will also donate $500,000 to a city in New York State to test a universal basic income program.

Yang is a firm proponent of crypto adoption and regulation; during his presidential campaign, he accepted donations in cryptocurrency.
Crypto advocates will be hoping that Yang hasn’t forgotten his enthusiasm for settling UBI plans in Bitcoin. He was very keen on the idea during an episode of the "Off The Pill" podcast.
When the interviewer floated it, Yang replied, “I love where you’re headed.”
However, it’s not clear at present whether Humanity Forward’s UBI project will adopt Bitcoin, or how crypto figures into its wider plans.
Yang was a businessman before his presidential bid, and rose from obscurity to become a highly-visible candidate. At one point, he was sixth in the national polls. He was able to rally a coalition of liberal Democrats, libertarians and disaffected Republicans dubbed the Yang Gang.
He’s joined CNN as a political commentator, and plans to launch his own podcast, in which he will discuss “new ideas to solve the greatest challenges of our time.” Crypto commentators will be hoping to get some airtime on Yang’s show.
Earlier this week, Decrypt reported that Yang could also be putting his hat in the ring for Mayor of New York, which would place him in a position to push for a rethink on the state's onerous cryptocurrency regulations.
Presidential candidate Andrew Yang has advised an overhaul in crypto regulation. Speaking to Bloomberg yesterday, the democratic candidate lauded the "high potential" of cryptocurrencies, adding that regulation couldn't "impede" Bitcoin. Yang—more than most politicians—hasn't been one to shy away from crypto talk. So with the US elections looming, and other candidates polishing up their own policies, here are seven times Yang has spoken about Bitcoin. 1. Bitcoin can't be impeded In a recent Bloo...
But in an interview on Wednesday, he said he was focused on getting Humanity Forward off the ground first, while reiterating that he wouldn’t rule out a mayoral run.
“We knew we wanted to keep the movement growing, the only question was what form that would take,” Yang said in an interview on Wednesday. “I have to say I’m super excited about it, my hands were tied as a political candidate to some extent. And now I get to work.”
Equity analysts from investment firms Benchmark and Bernstein reiterated their buy ratings and lofty price targets for Strategy (MSTR), a day after the company said that it had recorded a loss of $5.9 billion on its Bitcoin holdings in its first quarter of 2025. The analysts highlighted Strategy’s continued strategy to purchase more Bitcoin, which has become its core business after the company pivoted from software development about five years ago. “While the number of companies that have soug...
Riot Platforms posted mixed earnings results for the first quarter as it took steps to mitigate the effects of mining industry headwinds on its business. The Bitcoin miner clocked $161.39 million in revenue in the three-month period ending on March 31, up 13% from the previous quarter, the firm said Thursday in a statement. That's roughly 2% above Wall Street’s expectations of $160.72 million. The company's total revenue was largely boosted by its Bitcoin mining income, which jumped 100% in th...
Fortnite maker Epic Games’ antitrust case against Apple benefited the crypto industry on Thursday, when the iPhone maker loosened restrictions on developers’ ability to offer apps in the U.S. that direct users to non-standard purchasing methods or digital collectibles. Apple updated its iOS App Store review guidelines after a U.S. District Judge found this week that the tech titan “willfully” violated a court injunction issued in 2021. Moving forward, the federal court prohibited Apple from coll...
