Donald Trump owned CIC Ventures is marketing a limited-edition pair of sneakers called “Crypto President” to draw in followers of both Trump and cryptocurrencies.
In a post on Truth Social, Trump said, “Just spoke at the Bitcoin Conference in Nashville, Tennessee on Saturday. It was GREAT! Get your Bitcoin Sneakers now. These are Limited Edition, they are each numbered, and you can now pay with Bitcoin or your favorite Crypto.”
The high-top sneakers come in “Bitcoin Orange,” priced at $499, with only 1,000 pairs available. Each pair is numbered, and five of them are randomly autographed by Trump.
These shoes, which will be sent between September and November of this year, honor the first appearance of a US president at the Bitcoin Conference. There are also a thousand additional black pairs of like-designed shoes available for $299.
The release of these sneakers coincides with Trump’s recent speech at the Bitcoin conference in Nashville, Tennessee, where he committed to establishing a national Bitcoin reserve if elected and positioning the U.S. as a future crypto superpower.
This marks a significant shift from Trump’s previous critical views on Bitcoin. Trump’s vice presidential running mate, Sen. J.D. Vance, and several tech leaders, including Elon Musk and the Winklevoss twins, have shown support for his pro-crypto stance.
