This event is seen as part of Trump’s campaign strategy to appeal to crypto-savvy voters.

Trump’s Historic Bitcoin Transaction at PubKey

On September 18, former President Donald Trump made his first public Bitcoin transaction at PubKey, a bar that accepts Bitcoin payments in New York. This event took place ahead of a rally in Long Island, where Trump used Bitcoin to buy hamburgers for his supporters, dubbing them “Bitcoin Burgers.” The transaction totaled $998.70 and was completed using the Strike payment app, built on the Lightning Network. While initial reactions were mixed, the event soon turned festive as Trump engaged with the crowd.

Trump’s Interest in Crypto: Genuine Shift or Election Strategy?

Trump’s entry into the crypto space has sparked curiosity and discussions. His launch of the World Liberty Financial initiative and participation in Bitcoin Conference 2024 suggest a growing interest in digital assets. Reports indicate that Trump holds $1 million worth of Ethereum, signaling a serious interest in the crypto market. While some view these moves as part of his election strategy, others believe they reflect a genuine shift in his stance on cryptocurrencies.

Bitcoin’s Market Response to Trump’s Support

Following Trump’s public Bitcoin transaction, the price of Bitcoin saw notable movements. Currently valued at $62,081, Bitcoin has risen in part due to Trump’s endorsement and the Federal Reserve’s decision to lower interest rates by 0.50% for the first time in four years. Analysts, including Ali, predict that if Bitcoin closes above $61,500, it could reach $70,000, signaling the start of a significant bull run.

Market Sentiment and Broader Impacts

Bitcoin’s recent 7% rise has boosted investor confidence, pushing the global crypto market capitalization up 3% in the past 24 hours to reach $2.15 trillion. Bitcoin’s ability to recover from the $58,000 range has reassured many investors, increasing trading volumes and improving market sentiment. As the U.S. election approaches, Trump’s ongoing relationship with cryptocurrencies could further influence market dynamics and investor behavior.

As the U.S. elections draw nearer, Donald Trump’s efforts to win over crypto enthusiasts are becoming more apparent. By conducting the first public Bitcoin transaction, Trump has made history as the first U.S. president to complete a crypto payment. His actions are likely to leave a lasting impact on both the political and crypto worlds, shaping public opinion and market trends as his campaign continues.
