President Trump's campaign accepts Bitcoin donations for 2024
President Trump announced that his 2024 campaign will accept Bitcoin donations, marking a significant inclusion of cryptocurrencies in his political strategy.
This move stands in stark contrast to the regulatory stance of incumbent President Biden and Senator Elizabeth Warren, who have been critical of the digital asset space.
Trump's campaign highlighted his past efforts to promote innovation in financial technology and pointed to his administration-friendly cryptocurrency policies, including the appointment of crypto-friendly officials such as former Coinbase VP Brian Brooks as Comptroller of the Currency and the launch of non-fungible tokens (NFTs) during his presidency.
Trump against digital central bank currency
The campaign also highlighted Trump's opposition to a central bank digital currency and promised to prevent its creation to protect American freedoms.
The announcement also criticized Senator Elizabeth Warren's opposing stance toward cryptocurrencies and positioned MAGA supporters as part of a "Crypto Army" for the upcoming election.
Trump campaign donors can now donate with Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies through Coinbase, the only publicly listed Bitcoin exchange in the United States.
