Former U.S. president and current Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump will speak at Bitcoin 2024 in Nashville, Tennessee, on July 27, the organizers of the conference said on Wednesday. Trump, who is running against Democratic President Joe Biden in November's U.S. election, presented himself during a San Francisco fundraiser in June as a champion for cryptocurrencies and slammed Democrats' attempts to regulate the sector. "Trump announced his support for the American Bitcoin industry in May 2024, advocating for financial freedom and the growth of the U.S. Bitcoin industry on the global stage," organizers said on the conference website, describing Trump as the event's main headliner.
