Saylor met in January with Eric Trump at the president’s Mar-a-Lago resort in Palm Beach, Florida, and the president’s son has spoken publicly about how he and Saylor were friends who knew each other in New York two decades ago. Saylor also attended the president’s first crypto summit at the White House in March. “All of us owe him a tremendous debt of gratitude,” Eric Trump said of Saylor, praising him at the recent annual bitcoin conference in Las Vegas as an effective spokesperson for the crypto community.
