Trump Bitcoin Conference fundraiser tickets top out at $844,600 for Nashville soiree


 The highest-priced ticket is set at $844,600 per individual.

The premium tickets, which feature a roundtable discussion with Trump, are set at the highest donation limit allowed for individuals to contribute to Trump and the Republican Party’s biggest combined fundraising effort, the Trump 47 Committee.

Below that, there's an option for a photo with Trump for $60,000 per person or $100,000 for a couple, as detailed in the invitation.

Trump agreed to be the main attraction at the Music City Center event just days after narrowly escaping an assassination attempt on July 13.

A spokesperson for Trump's campaign did not reply to a request for comment regarding his appearances in Nashville.

In recent months, there has been a notable shift in President Trump's position regarding cryptocurrencies, positioning himself as a proponent of the crypto cause, a departure from his earlier views while in office.

In April, President Trump unveiled his latest collection of non-fungible tokens on the Solana blockchain, marking a significant increase in his bullish remarks on the cryptocurrency sector since then.

The campaign team of the Trump administration has opened its doors to digital currency donations, and the President himself has made a personal commitment to protect the rights of individuals who opt for self-custody of their cryptocurrencies. This means they do not depend on centralized entities such as Coinbase to manage their tokens but instead, maintain control over them through personal crypto wallets, which may sometimes pose challenges in terms of IRS oversight.

Furthermore, at the Libertarian National Convention in Washington in May, President Trump made a pledge to prevent Senator Elizabeth Warren, a Democrat from Massachusetts, and her associates from interfering with the rights of bitcoin users.

In a separate development, following a gathering at the Mar-a-Lago club in Florida with approximately a dozen executives from the bitcoin mining industry who have pledged financial support and electoral votes to his campaign, President Trump announced his intention to ensure that all future bitcoin production would take place within the United States, should he be re-elected.

On Monday, the Republican presidential nominee named Ohio Sen. JD Vance as his running mate — a move viewed by many as a net win for the crypto sector. Vance has advocated for looser regulation of crypto and disclosed in 2022 that he personally holds bitcoin.

It comes in stark contrast to the Biden White House, which has taken a consistently skeptical approach to crypto regulation. Under President Joe Biden, the Securities and Exchange Commission has dialed up actions on the sector.

In the absence of hard-and-fast rules from Congress, the U.S. has proven to be one of the most active enforcers of penalties and legal challenges against crypto companies.
