The President’s love for crypto continues to shine with the launch of his latest NFT collection on the Ordinals protocol.
#TRUMP Debuts Bitcoin Digital Trading Cards
President-elect Donald Trump‘s non-fungible token (NFT) collection debuted its first 160 products, the “Trump Bitcoin Digital Trading Cards” on Bitcoin through the Ordinals protocol.
NFT marketplace Magic Eden is the claim platform for those who obtained the 100 NFT cards from the “Mugshot Edition” and provided their Bitcoin wallets. With the claim period ending on January 31, users had already minted 37 of the 119 available ordinals. Ordinals inscribe data onto individual satoshis, the smallest unit of BTC to produce unique assets on the blockchain. The Trump Bitcoin Digital Trading Cards employed “Alpha sats,” the initial satoshis of a Bitcoinblock. Despite being the first Ordinals collection associated with Trump, the president-elect has a history with NFTs. Over the years, he has released other collections, including four “Trump Digital Trading Cards” series, which feature images of him clutching bitcoin and performing his well-known dance.
The most recent edition released in Aug. 2024 was dubbed “America First” and offered up to 11 perks, including a meal with Trump and gold Trump-themed sneakers. With the President adopting a vocal pro-crypto stand, we can expect to see more Trump-themed NFTs.
