History is Made! Donald Trump Uses Bitcoin in First Transaction in New York

In fact, when this article was written on September 19, Bitcoin price had increased by +2.95% and was at $61,919. Increased quite significantly compared to the previous day which was below $59K.

The significant increase in Bitcoin’s value has attracted the attention of investors, including public figures such as Donald Trump.

Trump’s use of Bitcoin in PubKey is not just a symbolic stunt, but also part of a larger push to support cryptocurrencies.

A few days earlier, Trump talked about cryptocurrencies when launching World Liberty Financial, a new venture in the crypto space founded by entrepreneur Steve Witkoff with two of Trump’s sons, Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump.

During an event at X Spaces promoting World Liberty Financial, Trump explained that his sons, including 18-year-old Barron Trump, encouraged him to understand and accept cryptocurrency.

Trump even revealed that Barron has several digital “wallets,” which refers to places where Bitcoin and other crypto assets are stored.

“He was talking about his wallet, he had four wallets or something,” Trump said, reflecting his admiration for his son’s understanding of the technology.
