On Wednesday, Bitcoin conference organizers emailed to reveal that some speeches on the agenda had been rescheduled to accommodate a “very special guest.”

Bitcoin Magazine later announced in a press release that Trump is scheduled to speak at the conference at 2 p.m. CT for 30 minutes on the last day of the conference (July 27).

Over the years, the Bitcoin conference has become a platform for groundbreaking statements, including El Salvador President Nayib Bukele’s 2021 announcement on adopting BTC as the nation’s legal tender.

The tradition of historic moments continued with the independent U.S. presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s powerful endorsement of the premier cryptocurrency during the 2023 annual Bitcoin gathering. The John F. Kennedy nephew and fellow candidate Trump will also appear at the Bitcoin conference.

Other politicians joining Trump and Kennedy at Bitcoin 2024 include former presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy, Wyoming Senator Cynthia Lummis, Tennessee Senator Bill Hagerty, Marsha Blackburn, and former Hawaii Rep. Tulsi Gabbard.

Trump’s upcoming speech is the latest move by his campaign to woo crypto voters, despite previous criticism of the sprawling industry during his first term at the Oval Office.

In May, the Trump campaign started accepting donations in cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, Dogecoin, and Solana. Last month, he met with representatives from leading Bitcoin mining firms and declared he wants all the remaining BTC to be made in the United States. Trump’s recent embrace of crypto notably casts a strong contrast with the Joe Biden administration.

The program also includes keynotes from Bitcoin bull Michael Saylor on Friday, with Edward Snowden set to speak on Saturday.

Community Reacts​

Trump’s anticipated appearance at the Bitcoin conference has sparked debate among the crypto community.

“July 27th we change the course of history,” Bitcoin Magazine CEO David Bailey stated in a July 11 post on X.

For VanEck strategy adviser Gabor Gurbacs, Trump’s reelection would be a boon for crypto in America. “If Trump wins the election, America will grow two large orange balls. It’s time for America to get its balls back anyways,” he posited.

CryptoQuant CEO Ki Young Ju, however, questioned the motives of the ex-POTUS’s July 27 speech:

“Is this a strategy to gain votes, or is it a genuine effort to make the United States a #Bitcoin nation? Does anyone know?#bitcoin
