Former U.S. President and Republican nominee Donald Trump, who once criticized cryptocurrency as a “scam,” is now set to headline one of the biggest Bitcoin conferences of the year.
In 2021, Trump made headlines with his harsh comments about crypto. Fast forward to today, he will speak on Saturday, the last day of the three-day Bitcoin 2024 convention in Nashville. Joining him will be a notable lineup of speakers, including independent U.S. presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Republican former candidate Vivek Ramaswamy, and Senators Bill Hagerty and Cynthia Lummis.
Trump is charging a hefty $60,000 for a photo with him at the event—about 89% of the current price of a whole bitcoin. For couples wanting a snap with the former president, the price jumps to $100,000. When he first announced this, $60,000 was actually more than the price of one bitcoin.
The steep charges reflect not just Trump’s fame but also the high demand for events on his presidential campaign trail. The Bitcoin 2024 conference has gained even more attention after a recent assassination attempt left Trump with a bloody ear and bystander Corey Comperatore dead.
Despite the high costs, VIP passes for the event have sold out at all tiers below $16,590. For those seeking an even more exclusive experience, Trump is offering a conference roundtable reservation for a whopping $844,600.
