Donald Trump’s support for cryptocurrencies has gained him massive contributions from famous Bitcoin holders.
Famous American entrepreneur and crypto investor Gary Cardone has donated 12.8 BTC ($842,000) to aspiring President Donald Trump’s campaign. He expressed conviction that supporting a crypto-inclined president will be a significant step toward obtaining the world’s financial freedom. The crypto-supportive U.S. presidential candidate, Trump, has gained the support of many popular crypto investors.
Gary Cardone Donates BTC to Donald Trump
In a post on X last Sunday, Cardone revealed that he had never been interested in or supported political campaigns. However, involvement in Bitcoin has dragged him into the political system. He also noted that he had always believed in Trump since previous campaigns but hadn’t expressed open support.
Further, he stated that although it is hard to give Bitcoin away, he has donated 12.798 BTC to support Trump’s campaign and ensure his victory in the forthcoming November 5th election. He explained the reason behind his open donation: “I needed to give Mr. Trump enough fuel in his tank to ensure that Trump was in a position where he could beat these people who seem to be able to raise enormous amounts of money.”
Cardone called out for other Bitcoin enthusiasts to support Trump’s campaign, which is a testament to the unity within the cryptocurrency community. He noted that Trump’s interest in Bitcoin and the digital asset industry is a positive sign. He expressed his confidence that the industry will flourish under a leader who supports it.
The entrepreneur expressed further confidence in the benefits of crypto adoption in the U.S., saying: “Bitcoin can help us remain super competitive and innovative globally without any kinetic weapons. This is an unbelievable opportunity for any human being that has access to a telephone.”
Other Bitcoiners Support Trump’s Campaign
Before Cardone revealed his cryptocurrency donation, other Bitcoin holders openly supported Trump by transferring large amount of bitcoins to boost the campaign. Around late June, the Winklevoss twins donated 30.94 bitcoins worth about $2 million to support his stand for cryptocurrencies. Co-founder of Kraken, Jesse Powell, also donated $1 million in cryptocurrencies to support Trump’s campaign.
