Trump campaign raises over $4 million in crypto donations

Donald Trump’s campaign reportedly raised over $4 million in cryptocurrency in the second quarter of 2024, a campaign aide revealed to CNBC. These donations have come in the form of bitcoin, ether, USD Coin, and other digital currencies.

An over 1,000-page Federal Election Commission filing showed that the "Trump 47" joint fundraising committee raised the total between April 1 and June 30. Overall, the committee raised more than $118 million in that timeframe.

Of those who donated cryptocurrencies, at least 19 donors contributed a combined $2.15 million in Bitcoin. These contributors come from 12 states, some of which were battleground states, and their professions included US military officer, Department of State security technician, homemaker, missionary, and painter.
