Lord Fusitu'a, whose real name was Mataiulua I Fonuamotu, previously served as Noble Representative of the Niuas in the Legislative Assembly of Tonga and previously chaired GOPAC Oceania. He also previously served as Chairman of the Commonwealth Pacific Parliamentary Human Rights Group and founded GOPAC Tonga. His account carried the self-description of a Bitcoin Toxic Maxi Bull, and that identity was central to his public profile.
Lord Fusitu'a was among the most vocal advocates for Bitcoin adoption in the Pacific, having worked with Strike founder Jack Mallers and officials from El Salvador to adapt elements of El Salvador's Bitcoin law to Tonga's legal framework. He planned to table a bill that would have made Bitcoin legal tender alongside the paʻanga, and described proposals to use state-run, geothermally powered volcano facilities for Bitcoin mining. In June 2021, Tonga's central bank stated that Bitcoin was not legal tender in the country, that no crypto-asset investment business had been licensed, and that investment of the country's external reserves in cryptocurrency was highly unlikely.
Lord Fusitu'a also drew international attention following the Hunga Tonga, Hunga Ha'apai volcanic eruption, when he established a Bitcoin relief wallet that received more than $40,000 across roughly 250 donations within three days. He has been mentioned by 58 accounts a total of 160 times. Lord Fusitu'a's account has published 47,741 posts and has 27,547 followers as of July 2026.
