Former president Donald Trump is now promoting bitcoin-themed sneakers for sale after speaking at the Bitcoin 2024 conference in Nashville, Tennessee.
Trump Promotes Sneakers on Social Media
On Wednesday, Trump took to Truth Social to promote limited edition sneakers with a bitcoin theme. In the post, Trump referenced the speech he gave at the conference just a few days prior.
“Just spoke at the Bitcoin Conference in Nashville, Tennessee on Saturday,” Trump wrote. “Get your Bitcoin Sneakers now. These are Limited Edition, they are each numbered and you can now pay with Bitcoin or your favorite Crypto.”
Trump’s Bitcoin 2024 Conference Speech
Last Saturday, Trump delivered a keynote address at the Bitcoin 2024 conference. In his speech, he made several promises related to bitcoin and cryptocurrency if he is elected president in November.
Trump said he would fire current SEC chair Gary Gensler and stop the US government from selling its bitcoin holdings, instead creating a “strategic bitcoin reserve.”
Trump’s Past Crypto Involvement
Besides accepting political donations in cryptocurrency, including bitcoin, Trump has also been involved in selling NFT collections featuring his likeness.
The former president’s promotion of bitcoin-themed sneakers represents his latest crypto-related business venture since leaving office. With bitcoin’s popularity continuing to grow, Trump appears to be capitalizing on public interest in both cryptocurrency and his personal brand.
