Trump has made his pro-crypto stance clear throughout his campaign and said on his Truth Social account that “Bitcoin mining may be our last line of defense against a CBDC (Central Bank Digital Currency).”
Trump’s appearance at the conference coincides with the crypto-focused election. The former president started accepting Bitcoin donations in May 2024, supporting cryptocurrency and its utility while setting the stage for crypto policy and regulation in the US.
Trump has previously said that he wants all Bitcoins to be “Made in the USA.”
At the time of writing, Bitcoin trades at $58,160, up 0.77% on Thursday.
