The former president will deliver a 30-minute speech at 2 p.m. CT. The presumed Republican presidential nominee will speak at the forthcoming Bitcoin conference in Nashville, Tennessee, later this month, as announced by the event organizers on Wednesday.
Earlier, rumors of Trump's participation grew when speakers informed CoinDesk that their slots were rescheduled to accommodate a "very special guest," as mentioned in an email. A conference spokesperson confirmed that Trump will speak at 2 p.m. CT on the event's final day, July 27.
Trump has embraced Bitcoin and cryptocurrency rhetoric since endorsing the industry at his NFT gala this spring. He has integrated pro-Bitcoin policies into the Republican Party platform, highlighting a clear distinction from the Biden administration. Trump's upcoming speech is expected to reinforce his self-proclaimed role as a crypto advocate, despite his earlier skepticism of the technology during his first term. His presence at the annual Bitcoin conference was widely anticipated.
