Trump campaign now accepting crypto donations, a first for major party nominees

Former President and Republican leader Donald Trump and his campaign announced Tuesday that they will begin accepting cryptocurrency donations. This marks the first time a major American political party has adopted digital currencies for campaign donations.

The Trump campaign has launched a fundraising page that allows federally permitted donors to contribute using any cryptocurrency accepted on the Coinbase platform.

This could be seen as a sign of Trump’s increasing acceptance of financial technology and his continued push to reduce government control over individual financial decision-making. Trump’s new stance contrasts sharply with the views of Democratic leaders such as Senator Elizabeth Warren, who, according to Trump, is building an “anti-crypto army” to restrict individual choice.

All contribution limits and disclosure requirements for crypto donations must be consistent with Federal Election Commission regulations. Supporters can visit https://www.donaldjtrump.com/crypto to donate.
