Read our privacy policy Donald Trump’s running mate JD Vance is the first bitcoin holder to run for Vice President, forming a pro-crypto ticket alongside the former US president that has boosted the market and reassured the broader industry. In 2021, the former venture capitalist issued a statement opposing an amendment to the Infrastructure Bill that he claimed would “amount to a backdoor ban of bitcoin and other popular cryptocurrencies”. It is one of the few sectors of our economy where conservatives and other free thinkers can operate without pressure from the social justice mob.” Trump has pitched himself as the “crypto president” this campaign, having previously dismissed bitcoin as a “scam against the dollar”. The former president is set to speak at the Bitcoin 2024 conference in Nashville this month, with organisers claiming he will “deliver a speech that is heard around the world”.
