First steaks, now sneakers.
Former U.S. President Donald Trump took to social media on Wednesday to promote limited edition Bitcoin-themed sneakers shortly after the Republican candidate in this year's presidential election spoke at Bitcoin 2024.
"Just spoke at the Bitcoin Conference in Nashville, Tennessee on Saturday," Trump said in a Truth Social post. "Get your Bitcoin Sneakers now. These are Limited Edition, they are each numbered, and you can now pay with Bitcoin or your favorite Crypto."
Last Saturday, in a keynote address at the Bitcoin 2024 conference in Nashville, Trump promised to fire SEC chair Gary Gensler and stop the U.S. from selling its bitcoin holdings, creating a “strategic bitcoin reserve,” if elected in November.
Besides accepting political donations made in crypto, including bitcoin, Trump has also been associated with the sale of NFT collections celebrating his likeness.
