The Trump campaign raised $21 million during the much-anticipated 2024 Bitcoin Conference, a remarkable achievement largely attributed to a fundraising event on Saturday, July 27. The event was carefully planned by Senator Bill Hagerty, a Republican heavyweight in Tennessee, and attracted 100 elite participants, highlighting Trump's influence in the cryptocurrency and broader business fields.
During the fundraiser, tickets for the "Trump Roundtable" cost as much as $844,600 per person, and the opportunity to take a photo with Trump also required a minimum of $60,000, highlighting his market appeal and the high enthusiasm of his supporters.
Bitcoin Magazine CEO David Bailey commented that this was the second largest fundraising scale in Trump's three presidential campaigns, and the funds mainly came from the deep participation of the cryptocurrency industry and the generosity of "whale" investors.
It is worth noting that Trump has publicly stated that he holds cryptocurrencies worth between $100,000 and $250,000 in 2022, further confirming his interest and involvement in this emerging field. According to the latest documents from the Federal Election Commission, Trump's campaign has currently raised a total of $221 million and has a cash reserve of $128 million, laying a solid financial foundation for his 2024 campaign.
