Donald Trump Launches New NFT Collection

On January 9, 2025, a Twitter account dedicated to releasing NFTs for newly inaugurated President Donald Trump announced a new collection titled “Trump Bitcoin Digital Trading Cards.” This marks the first time the collection has been launched via the Ordinals protocol on the Bitcoin network, with a limited supply of 160 NFTs.

The uniqueness of the collection lies in the fact that all 160 NFTs are inscribed on Alpha sats—the first satoshis of each Bitcoin block—making them highly collectible. Of these, 100 NFTs are prioritized for holders of the Mugshot Edition NFTs released in December 2023, available at a discounted price of just 0.00001 BTC (approximately $0.94) for minting on Magic Eden.

As of now, 34 out of 119 NFTs have been successfully minted, with the minting period running until January 31, 2025. Notably, 15 NFTs have already been listed on Magic Eden, with a starting price of 0.177 BTC, while the highest-priced NFT is listed for a staggering 20 BTC.

Previously, in January 2024, President Trump introduced a collection of 200 Bitcoin Ordinals NFTs, exclusively for early buyers of the 100 Mugshot Edition NFTs. Priced at $99 per mugshot, anyone wishing to acquire Trump’s first Bitcoin NFTs had to spend $9,900.

The decision to release NFTs on the Bitcoin network highlights President Trump’s commitment to supporting cryptocurrency. In December 2024, he reaffirmed his plan to establish a Bitcoin reserve fund for the United States, particularly as global powers like China and Russia continue to embrace cryptocurrency trends.

Trump also made history as the first U.S. President to celebrate Bitcoin reaching $100,000 on December 5, 2024, a month after winning the election. He proudly claimed to have contributed significantly to this achievement and expressed his ambition to push Bitcoin beyond $150,000 early in his term.
