Former US President Donald Trump is asking $844,600, equivalent to 13.20 Bitcoin (BTC), for a seat at a private roundtable during the upcoming Bitcoin Conference 2024 in Nashville.
The fee is part of a fundraising event scheduled for July 27.
Private conference
The private fundraising event offers donors a chance to photograph with Trump, priced at $60,000 per person or $100,000 per couple.
This event, organized by BTC Media LLC, runs from July 25 to 27 and is expected to attract between 100 and 150 donors. Attendees will enjoy an evening of mingling with influential guests, followed by Trump’s speech on Bitcoin.
Trump will deliver speeches alongside other notable US politicians, including presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and former presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy. Other guests include Ohio Senator J.D. Vance, Tennessee Senator Bill Hagerty, and former Hawaii Representative Tulsi Gabbard.
Trump’s involvement in this event underscores his renewed interest in digital currencies. During this election cycle, he has shown increasing support for Bitcoin, from accepting crypto donations to advocating for US-based Bitcoin mining.
Trump stated:
If we don’t do it Bitcoin mining, China is going to pick it up, and China’s going to have it—or somebody else. […] So you have to look at it—what I want, again, is what is good for the country.
Vance’s support
Many believe this shift influenced Trump’s choice of J.D. Vance as his vice-presidential candidate, a known Bitcoin advocate. Vance has supported digital assets through legislative efforts and holds a personal investment in Bitcoin.
