Donald Trump and Bitcoin: From 'Not a Fan' to Crypto Candidate

Former President Donald Trump, the GOP nominee for the 2024 presidential election, has positioned himself as a Bitcoin-friendly candidate, despite previously being critical of cryptocurrencies. Trump has received cash and digital asset donations from Silicon Valley tech leaders and has launched his own NFT collection, which has been successful. He has also expressed support for U.S. Bitcoin mining and has promised to build a "strategic Bitcoin stockpile" for the country. Trump's embrace of crypto has been seen as a turning point in crypto policy conversations, and he has surrounded himself with crypto advocates and advisors. However, some question the sincerity of his crypto-friendly rhetoric, and it remains to be seen how much of it will be put into practice if he returns to the presidency.
