Trump, the Republican nominee for president, has raised more than $4 million from a mix of digital tokens, a campaign aide told CNBC.
At least 19 donors contributed more than $2.15 million bitcoin to the committee, the filing shows.
Brian Hughes, a Trump campaign aide, said that of the more than $4 million in crypto raised, most of it arrived in bitcoin.
"While the Biden-Harris Administration stifles innovation with more regulation and higher taxes, President Trump is ready to encourage American leadership in this and other emerging technologies."
Thus far, it appears the Trump campaign is mostly converting these contributions immediately to USDC and then liquidating the donations.
