Donald Trump Uses Bitcoin To Purchase Hamburgers

Former U.S. President Donald Trump recently made a historic moment in the cryptocurrency community by completing his first-ever Bitcoin transaction at PubKey, a renowned crypto-themed bar in New York. This event took place shortly after he survived an assassination attempt, further capturing public attention.

The official PubKey account on X (formerly Twitter) posted:

One of the most iconic Bitcoin transactions in history just took place. President Donald Trump purchased a burger at PubKey at block: 861871.

With the help of the bar staff, Trump scanned a QR code to make the payment using Bitcoin on his phone. Though initially a bit nervous, the transaction was swiftly confirmed, which lit up the atmosphere in the bar.

Afterward, Trump gave a brief speech to the enthusiastic crowd:

This is truly a great place, and I’ve just completed my first Bitcoin transaction. To all the crypto enthusiasts out there, get out and vote, because if you do, we can’t lose. The SEC has treated you very unfairly, and we are going to change that.

The former President even served customers “crypto burgers” himself, creating a lively and cheerful atmosphere in the bar.

This move is seen as Trump’s effort to regain support from the crypto community, especially after his disadvantage in the debate with Vice President Harris.

Previously, Trump attended the Bitcoin 2024 event, expressing his support for Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies. He also pledged to make the U.S. the “crypto capital of the world” and promised to support Bitcoin miners if re-elected this November.

Additionally, Trump’s fourth NFT collection was recently released and sold out quickly, bringing in millions of dollars.

These actions show that Trump is increasingly active in supporting and engaging with the cryptocurrency sector, possibly as part of his strategy for the upcoming election.
