Former U.S. President Donald Trump recently voiced support for bitcoin mining during a meeting at Mar-a-Lago, highlighting his newfound crypto-friendly stance ahead of the November election. Donald Trump met representatives from prominent Bitcoin mining companies like CleanSpark Inc. and Riot Platforms at his Palm Seashore resort. According to Bloomberg, Trump pledged to champion bitcoin mining initiatives, emphasizing the positive impact of mining on energy grid stability.
S. Matthew Schultz, co-founder of CleanSpark, shared his enthusiasm on X (formerly Twitter), noting Trump’s appreciation for the company’s operations in Georgia, Mississippi, and Wyoming. “I just ran into a guy that’s a huge fan of bitcoin and loves what we’re doing,” Schultz wrote, reflecting the positive reception from Trump.
In his push for the presidency, Trump has increasingly embraced cryptocurrencies. Recently, he hosted a $12 million fundraiser in Silicon Valley, drawing support from industry leaders like Gemini’s Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss. Further showcasing his commitment, Trump announced last month that his campaign would accept donations in cryptocurrencies, signaling a major shift in his approach to financial technology and regulation.
Meanwhile, Bloomberg reports that President Joe Biden’s campaign is also tuning into the crypto conversation, seeking advice from industry experts on digital asset policies. This marks a noticeable pivot from the administration’s previously cautious stance on cryptocurrencies.
