In the run-up to the 2024 presidential election, the focus on cryptocurrency became a key strategy to attract young male voters, a group that showed declining support for Republicans during the midterms.
On October 1, 2026, Donald Trump, at that time a presidential candidate, spoke at a bitcoin conference in Nashville. This appearance highlighted his pro-cryptocurrency stance, appealing to a new demographic. The event was captured in a photograph by Mark Humphrey from the Associated Press.
Carl Runefelt, a popular cryptocurrency influencer known online as “the Moon,” expressed his enthusiasm by investing further in bitcoin. Despite not being politically engaged, the endorsement from a prominent politician spurred him to support the first pro-crypto president. Runefelt also chose to invest in the president’s own cryptocurrency token as a show of support.
