Trump Digital Trading Cards Are Now Released On Bitcoin Ordinals

Key Points:

Former President Trump makes his debut in the crypto world with the release of 100 limited edition Trump Digital Trading Cards NFTs on the Bitcoin Ordinals platform.
Trump’s NFT venture offers collectors a unique ordinal on the Bitcoin blockchain alongside the purchase of 100 “mugshot edition” NFTs.

Former President Donald Trump is making waves in the crypto world with the launch of his exclusive Trump Digital Trading Cards on the Bitcoin Ordinals platform.

The announcement, courtesy of CollectTrumpCards on X, disclosed the minting of 100 limited edition Trump NFTs available for purchase using WETH.

The series boasts a unique MugShot Edition, with only 200 1/1 trading cards. Notably, the announcement highlights that just 99 of these exclusive cards remain for purchase, adding a sense of urgency to collectors.

In a strategic move, the NFT venture offers collectors the chance to acquire a unique ordinal—an NFT-like digital asset on the Bitcoin blockchain—along with their purchase of 100 “mugshot edition” NFTs for $99 each. The inscription process will occur on Magic Eden, allowing collectors to claim their exclusive Ordinals later.

This foray into NFTs follows Trump’s earlier successes, where the first two releases of Trump Digital Trading Cards generated a whopping $9 million in combined sales. Financial disclosure forms indicate Trump received between $100,000 and $1 million from the initial batch, though the earnings from the second remain undisclosed.

The former president’s continued exploration of NFTs coincides with his lead in the Republican leadership race and his recent commitment to opposing the creation of a central bank digital currency (CBDC). Trump’s strategic engagement with NFTs introduces a unique dimension to the 2024 electoral race as he explores innovative ways to connect with voters.

The disclaimer accompanying the launch emphasizes that these Trump Digital Trading Cards are collectibles for individual enjoyment, explicitly stating they are not intended as investment vehicles. As Trump’s influence in both politics and the crypto space grows, the launch of his latest NFT collection marks a significant moment in the evolving intersection of politics and blockchain technology.
