Trump Launches Limited Edition Bitcoin Sneakers After Bitcoin 2024 Conference Speech

Former President Donald Trump turned to social media on Wednesday to unveil a new line of Bitcoin-themed sneakers. This promotion came shortly after his appearance at Bitcoin 2024, where he spoke as a Republican presidential candidate.

"I just delivered a speech at the Bitcoin Conference in Nashville, Tennessee on Saturday," Trump announced on Truth Social. "Secure your Bitcoin Sneakers now. These are Limited Edition, each pair is numbered, and you can purchase them with Bitcoin or your preferred cryptocurrency." During his keynote address at the Bitcoin 2024 conference, held in Nashville, Trump pledged to dismiss SEC chair Gary Gensler and halt the U.S. government's sale of its bitcoin assets. He also proposed the creation of a “strategic bitcoin reserve” if he wins the election in November.

In addition to embracing cryptocurrency for political contributions, Trump has also been involved in selling NFT collections that feature his image.
