Donald Trump is hosting a campaign fundraiser in Nashville on July 27th, which coincides with his keynote speech at the Bitcoin 2024 conference. The top-tier fundraiser ticket costs more than $800,000 per person, the maximum individual donation allowed to Trump's joint fundraising committee. Trump has recently embraced cryptocurrency after previously being skeptical, accepting crypto donations, and pledging support for the self-custody of coins. Crypto companies are major donors to pro-Trump super PACs, with over 90% of one PAC's funds traced to four crypto firms.
