The cryptocurrency world was abuzz today as former President Donald Trump met with Bitcoin Magazine’s CEO David Bailey and several prominent U.S. Bitcoin miners. The meeting, which took place in Washington D.C., saw Trump pledge his support for Bitcoin mining both domestically and on the global stage.
Representatives from leading Bitcoin mining firms such as CleanSpark, Riot Platforms, Marathon Digital, and others were in attendance. Key figures like S Matthew Schultz, Jason Les, Brian Morgenstern, Salman Khan, and Amanda Fabiano were present to discuss the future of Bitcoin mining in the United States.
Following the meeting, Trump took to his Truth Social platform to express his desire for all remaining Bitcoin to be mined in the USA, citing the benefits it would bring to the country’s energy dominance.
Trump’s pro-Bitcoin stance stands in stark contrast to the current administration under President Joe Biden, which has been less supportive of the cryptocurrency industry. Trump’s recent acceptance of Bitcoin Lightning Network donations and his commitment to supporting the rights of crypto holders have garnered him significant support from the crypto community.
With over 50 million Bitcoin and cryptocurrency holders in the United States, Trump’s backing of the industry could prove to be a decisive factor in the upcoming presidential race. As the race heats up, all eyes will be on Trump and his stance on Bitcoin as he vies for a return to the White House.
