On January 17, Fred Thiel, CEO of Marathon Digital, shared details about the “Trump 47” block on X (formerly Twitter). According to Thiel, this unique blockchain entry features an AI-generated portrait of Trump, marking his upcoming inauguration as the first pro-Bitcoin president.

The inscription, finalized on block 825,642 at around 14:32 UTC, cost 1.244 BTC—roughly $127,000. Alongside Trump’s portrait, the block immortalizes key American documents like the Constitution and Bill of Rights, symbolizing a fusion of blockchain innovation with national heritage.

Thiel explained that Marathon leveraged its MARA Pool mining capacity for this initiative, aiming to highlight the broader potential of blockchain technology. “This effort honors President Trump’s commitment to Bitcoin and positions America as a leader in the crypto space,” Thiel remarked.

Trump’s pro-Bitcoin stance has evolved dramatically in the past year, drawing attention from the crypto community. He has publicly endorsed Bitcoin, proposed a Bitcoin National Reserve, and hinted at regulatory reforms to bolster the digital asset industry.

These developments have fueled optimism, with many in the crypto sector hopeful that his administration will address persistent regulatory uncertainties and usher in a more favorable climate for blockchain growth.
