The former President and Republican candidate made this transaction with the assistance of PubKey staff.
Former U.S. President Donald Trump continued to draw attention from the crypto industry on Wednesday when he made a Bitcoin transaction at PubKey, a crypto-themed bar in New York.
Trump stopped by the Manhattan bar before heading to a rally in Longing Island on Wednesday. A Fox News video shows the Republican candidate entering the bar and, with the help of a PubKey employee, completing a transaction via the Lightning network, becoming the first sitting or former U.S. president to publicly use the Bitcoin network. According to a PubKey social media post, Trump bought a burger at the bar.
His appearance at PubKey comes two days after Trump publicly endorsed World Liberty Financial, a cryptocurrency project he and some of his children are involved in. World Liberty officially launched on Monday and confirmed it will issue a Governance Token called WLFI.
Trump, who is running for president for a third time, has sought support from the crypto industry in recent months. He spoke at an industry conference and pledged to make the United States “the crypto capital of the world.”
