"Donald Trump ""Former U.S. President
Donald Trump received his first physical
Bitcoin in July 2024. This event was
marked by significant media attention due
to Trump's previously critical stance on
cryptocurrencies. The Bitcoin was given to
him by the CEO of a major cryptocurrency
exchange during a high-profile event. The
physical Bitcoin, known as a Casascius
coin, represents one whole Bitcoin on the
blockchain. This gesture was seen as
symbolic, highlighting the growing
acceptance and recognition of
cryptocurrencies by mainstream figures.
Trump's reception of the Bitcoin was met
with a mix of enthusiasm and skepticism
from the public and financial analysts
alike.
