Trump and his campaign have met repeatedly with cryptocurrency entrepreneur David Bailey, who has promised Trump to hold a $15 million fundraiser in Nashville later this month, according to people familiar with the matter.
Trump is also expected to chair a cryptocurrency conference that will be attended by a large crowd and celebrities.
One of Bailey’s private meetings with Trump took place at Trump Tower in New York last spring, during the former president’s trial on business fraud charges, according to people with knowledge of the meeting.
Trump’s campaign announced days after this meeting that they would accept donations via cryptocurrency. Cryptocurrency executives and supporters also held multiple events at his club in Florida, according to people who attended.
At a dinner last month, Bailey also pitched a number of cryptocurrency ideas to Trump senior adviser Vince Haley.
It was stated that Haley later drafted the platform, which included supporting language about cryptocurrency.
