Former U.S. President Donald Trump took to social media on Wednesday to promote a new line of limited edition Bitcoin-themed sneakers. This announcement came shortly after Trump delivered a keynote address at the Bitcoin 2024 conference in Nashville, Tennessee.
In his post on Truth Social, Trump stated:
Just spoke at the Bitcoin Conference in Nashville, Tennessee on Saturday. Get your Bitcoin Sneakers now. These are Limited Edition, they are each numbered, and you can now pay with Bitcoin or your favorite crypto.
The Bitcoin sneakers are part of Trump’s growing interest in digital assets.
At the Bitcoin 2024 conference, Trump promised several major changes if he is elected in November. These include firing SEC chair Gary Gensler and stopping the U.S. from selling its Bitcoin holdings.
Trump also proposed creating a “strategic bitcoin reserve” to strengthen the country’s financial position.
