Incoming U.S. President Donald Trump has made his Bitcoin Ordinals debut with the release of another non-fungible token (NFT) collection. Just 119 “Trump Bitcoin Digital Trading Cards” are available, though only for backers of an earlier NFT offering. The latest Donald Trump NFTs have been inscribed as Bitcoin Ordinals.
Access to the 119-card collection is, however, an exclusive privilege granted to those who purchased 100 cards from the January 2024 “Mugshot Edition” run of Trump NFTs. It’s an interesting development as promises made almost one year ago have come to fruition in a Trump-related NFT project, no less. At the time of writing, 31%, or 37 out of 119 Trump’s Ordinals, have been minted via the leading NFT marketplace, Magic Eden. The claim period is available until Jan. 31, 2025. Several cards have already been listed on Magic Eden, with prices ranging from 0.177 BTC (approx. $16,500) to a whopping 20 BTC (approx $1.8 million).
This would be President-Elect Trump’s fifth NFT collection. His first set dropped in December 2022, and according to CryptoSlam, it sold incredibly well. It currently has over 14,000 owners and just over $24 million in sales volumes. The 200-card “Mugshot Edition” collection was launched in January 2024. It was minted as Ethereum-based NFTs on the Polygon network. According to CryptoSlam data, these appear to have sold relatively well, with over 6,500 holders.
His August 2024 release, the “America First” collection, came with a wide variety of perks and offers, depending on how much users were willing to spend. Bulk purchases would see buyers obtain limited-edition gold sneakers, physical cards, VIP dinners with Trump, and so on. Judging by Magic Eden listings, of which there are none, the “America First” set didn’t sell very well. However, the website has pictures of happy buyers meeting Trump and attending the VIP dinners.
