Former U.S. President Donald Trump is set to host a private fundraising roundtable during the Bitcoin conference in Nashville. The attendance fee for the event is set at $844,600, with photo opportunities with Trump costing $60,000. Scheduled for July 27, the last day of the conference, Trump, who recently survived an assassination attempt, is branding himself as a pro-crypto candidate. However, skepticism remains about his genuine interest in cryptocurrencies, given reports that he attempted to ban Bitcoin in 2020 but was dissuaded by then-Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin. Trump had previously referred to Bitcoin as a “scam” and voiced strong support for the U.S. dollar as the nation’s sole currency.
