In 2019, President Trump tweeted: “I am not a fan of bitcoin and other cryptocurrency.” Today, Trump is on all cryptos.
Trump and the first woman are Memcoin. They own a stablecoin, a bitcoin mining operation and a crypto financial services company. And, at the Bitcoin 2025 conference, Trump’s media group announced that they were raising $ 2.5 billion from investors to buy bitcoins.
At the same conference, the speakers included two advisors of the White House, two sons of the US President, the son of the US Commerce Secretary and a trump appointment for the Securities and Exchange Commission. For a cryptocurrency created on freedom from the large government, it was a paradise.

We follow with Trump Inc.Ilya Maritz and Andrea Bernstein spend three days at the Las Vegas Conference Center, where the culprits are happy, the oversight and regulation are smelled, and the separation of the crypto and the state no longer applies.
