In the meeting, Trump expressed his love for cryptocurrency and initiated discussions of reasons to support Bitcoin mining. Notable participants of the meeting included Nasdaq-listed Bitcoin mining firm CleanSpark Inc. ‘s and Riot platforms’s representatives. Some of them were later seen sharing photographs with the former president on their X accounts.
