Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump has become the first former US president to use Bitcoin in a New York City bar and restaurant known for accepting the cryptocurrency.
On September 18, Trump reportedly purchased hamburgers using Bitcoin at Pubkey, an NYC establishment, during a campaign event, according to a post by Pubkey on X.
Videos shared on X show Trump buying at least a dozen hamburgers. He distributed them to attendees, referring to them as “crypto burgers.”
Alongside Trump, other notable figures, including BTC advocate and Professional Capital Management CEO Anthony Pompliano, also attended the event.
