Claim $500Trump’s Crypto Holdings Spark 2024 Campaign Funding Speculation
Former U.S. President Donald Trump’s financial disclosure has revealed that he holds assets in a cryptocurrency wallet, specifically Ethereum, valued between $250,000 and $500,000. This discovery, coming from a figure who has previously criticized cryptocurrencies, has ignited curiosity about his intentions in the digital currency realm.
Donald Trump’s Crypto Holdings Raises Eyebrows
The asset known as Trump’s “cryptocurrency wallet (Ethereum)” appears to be connected to a group of non-fungible tokens (NFTs) he started after leaving the White House. The NFTs, which resembled cartoon-style trading cards and included images of Trump in various attire, experienced great popularity in the marketplace, with two batches quickly selling out.
The information casts doubt on Trump’s shifting position on cryptocurrency. He previously described cryptocurrencies as “a disaster waiting to happen” and dubbed Bitcoin a “scam,” which contrasts with his apparent engagement in the Ethereum-based NFT market. Trump said in a tweet in July 2019 that he was “not a fan of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies” and that their value was “based on thin air.”
Speculation among observers is on whether Trump’s interest in Bitcoin and decentralized finance (DeFi) may be related to potential funding for a 2024 presidential campaign. The potential anonymity and adaptability these platforms provide for raising funds are what draw people in.

Trump’s cryptocurrency holdings highlight the complex interplay between public figures, technology, and financial markets as the world watches. The dynamic interaction between his prior claims and present holdings emphasizes how the Bitcoin landscape is ever-evolving and can transform traditional financial paradigms.
As the headcount of crypto asset holders continues to increase, Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH), managed to hold above the $29,000 and $18,000 levels respectively, early on Saturday morning. Other well-known cryptocurrencies, like Litecoin (LTC) and Solana (SOL), also performed well as general values increased marginally across the board. Shiba Inu (SHIB), which saw a 24-hour increase of more than 9.20%, emerged as the top gainer.
