On the anniversary of Satoshi Nakamoto's Bitcoin whitepaper, Trump criticized Kamala Harris in his greeting to Bitcoin supporters in the U.S.
The former president and Republican contender promised to halt the “war on crypto” and advance Bitcoin in the U.S. He also pledged to pardon Silk Road founder Ross Ulbricht, who is serving life.
Trump's Bitcoin comments occurred days before the Nov. 5 general election. For months, the Republican nominee has promised to prohibit government Bitcoin purchases and fire SEC chief Gary Gensler.
Harris, however, supported AI and promised to safeguard digital asset investors.
Bitcoin adoption and price have risen. Bitcoin enthusiasts predicted success regardless of the winning candidate before the U.S. election. Bitcoin is one of the best-performing investments of the previous decade, up 192% year-to-date compared to the S&P 500's 36%.
Corporate holdings like MicroStrategy, led by Michael Saylor, raised cash to acquire additional Bitcoin. BlackRock's BTC ETF was Wall Street's fastest-growing, and investors invested $72 billion in BTC products.
