Former US President and current Republican candidate Donald Trump just used Bitcoin (BTC) to buy hamburgers for his supporters.
On Wednesday, Trump visited a crypto-themed bar called PubKey in Manhattan, New York City, to gather with members of the digital asset industry ahead of his bid for president in November.
A video shared by Fox News on YouTube shows Trump making a Bitcoin transaction on a phone during the campaign stop.
When asked about the transaction, Trump said it was easy to complete the payment.
According to details shared by PubKey on social media platform The bill was for the “crypto burgers” that were distributed to event visitors.
Pubkey says the event marks the establishment’s first presidential visit.
“One of the most historic transactions in Bitcoin history just occurred. President Trump buys hamburgers at PubKey [investor Thomas Pacchia].
Trump also sought support for his re-election bid, with assurances that he will have a friendly stance toward crypto.
‘We want to get everyone to agree with you, people, what you are doing. There are a lot of people, and they treated you very badly at the SEC. We are going to treat you very fairly. You have to get out and vote.”
