Trump campaign now accepts donations in cryptocurrency

Former President Donald Trump's campaign on Tuesday announced that it would accept cryptocurrency contributions, becoming the first major presidential campaign to do so.

Would-be donors may contribute using any cryptocurrency accepted by Coinbase Commerce, the campaign confirmed. 

"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," the press release stated.

"As our President, Donald J. Trump has reduced regulations and championed innovation in financial technology, while Democrats, like Biden and his official surrogate Elizabeth Warren, continue to believe only government has the answers to how our nation leads the world," it continued.

In December of 2022, Trump began selling Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs), including digital trading cards that quickly sold out.
