President Donald J. Trump’s campaign has announced they are now accepting cryptocurrencies through the Coinbase Commerce product. This marks the first major U.S. presidential nominee to officially accept cryptocurrency donations.
The Trump campaign states, “This addition to President Trump’s already groundbreaking digital fundraising operation marks the first time a major party Presidential nominee has embraced cryptocurrency for donations. Contribution limits and disclosure requirements for crypto donations will follow Federal Election Commission regulations.”
With recent attacks on Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies by the likes of Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-MA), and the Biden Administration, President Trump appears to be capitalizing on the privacy and freedom loving crypto community ahead of the November 2024 Presidential Election vote. A strategy that may net a large number of one-policy voters whom can’t fathom a future where Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies are outlawed in the United States of America.
Trump’s campaign further states, “Biden surrogate Elizabeth Warren said in an attack on cryptocurrency that she was building an “anti-crypto army” to restrict Americans’ right to make their own financial choices. MAGA supporters, now with a new cryptocurrency option, will build a crypto army moving the campaign to victory on November 5th!”
