President Trump will speak at the upcoming Bitcoin conference in Nashville, Tennessee.

“DONALD TRUMP TO SPEAK AT THE WORLD’S LARGEST BITCOIN CONFERENCE THIS MONTH,” Bitcoin Magazine announced.

The conference will take place from July 25th to 27th.

From CoinMarketCap:

Known as one of the world’s largest Bitcoin events, the conference will feature a lineup of influential figures in the cryptocurrency space.

Joining Trump at the Bitcoin 2024 conference will be other notable U.S. politicians, such as presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr., former presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy, and Republican Senators Bill Hagerty and Marsha Blackburn. Kennedy Jr., who delivered a keynote speech at Bitcoin 2023, has been a vocal advocate for crypto, pledging to protect the right to hold and use bitcoin.

In recent months, Trump, the presumptive Republican Party presidential nominee, has shown strong support for the cryptocurrency and blockchain sectors. At a Mar-a-Lago event last month, he declared his intent to advocate for Bitcoin mining if re-elected. In May, Trump began accepting political donations in cryptocurrencies, a move that has garnered him significant backing from key industry players, including Gemini founders Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss, and Ark Invest CEO Cathie Wood.

“I will ensure that the future of crypto and the future of Bitcoin will be made in the USA,” Trump previously said.

Bitcoin 2024 is set to build on the success of the previous three conferences held in Miami. Bitcoin 2021 made headlines when El Salvador’s President Nayib Bukele declared Bitcoin legal tender. Bitcoin 2022 and Bitcoin 2023 continued the tradition, with notable moments including U.S. Presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s powerful speech in support of the Bitcoin industry at Bitcoin 2023.

This year, the conference’s move from Miami to Nashville reflects its growing prominence. With two U.S. Presidential candidates, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Donald Trump, both slated to speak, Bitcoin 2024 is poised to be a pivotal event, potentially shaping the future of Bitcoin and cryptocurrency policy in the U.S.

The inclusion of Donald Trump as a speaker is particularly notable given his recent commitments to the Bitcoin community. Last month, Trump met with major U.S. Bitcoin miners, including representatives from CleanSpark, Riot Platforms, and more, pledging his support for Bitcoin mining both on the global stage and in Washington, D.C. In May, Trump said he would ensure that the future of Bitcoin and crypto will be made in the USA, while also promising to protect the right to self-custody to the nation’s 50 million crypto holders, if elected president.
