The announcement came via an official campaign press release.

美国前总统唐纳德·J·特朗普宣布，他的竞选团队将接受比特币和各种加密货币的捐款，这标志着作为第一个采用这一筹款策略的主要政党总统候选人的一个重要里程碑。这一消息是通过官方竞选新闻稿发布的。

The Trump campaign’s new fundraising initiative integrates the use of popular cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), Ripple (XRP), Dogecoin (DOGE), and Shiba Inu (SHIB). These can now be donated through Coinbase Commerce, a service that allows merchants to accept multiple cryptocurrencies directly into a user-controlled wallet.

特朗普竞选团队的新筹款计划整合了比特币（BTC）、以太坊（ETH）、瑞波币（XRP）、狗狗币（DOGE）和柴犬（SHIB）等流行加密货币的使用。这些现在可以通过 Coinbase Commerce 捐赠，该服务允许商家将多种加密货币直接存入用户控制的钱包中。

Trump Goes All In On Bitcoin And Crypto

特朗普全力投资比特币和加密货币

According to the campaign’s press release, the move adds “to President Trump’s already groundbreaking digital fundraising operation [and] marks the first time a major party Presidential nominee has embraced cryptocurrency for donations.” This initiative is not just a broadening of the campaign’s digital fundraising operation but also a strong political statement in favor of Bitcoin and crypto’s role in enhancing financial freedom and innovation.

根据该竞选团队的新闻稿，此举“为特朗普总统已经具有开创性的数字筹款行动增添了新元素，并且标志着主要政党总统候选人首次接受加密货币进行捐赠。”这一举措不仅扩大了该活动的数字筹款业务，而且也是支持比特币和加密货币在增强金融自由和创新方面作用的强有力的政治声明。

The campaign contrasts its embrace of cryptocurrency with the positions of key Democratic opponents, particularly President Joe Biden and Senator Elizabeth Warren, who have expressed significant skepticism towards the utility and regulation of digital currencies. The press release specifically calls out Senator Warren’s efforts to curtail the crypto sector, which she has often described as a ‘shadowy system’ that needs more stringent regulation.

该竞选活动将其对加密货币的拥护与主要民主党对手的立场进行了对比，特别是总统乔·拜登和参议员伊丽莎白·沃伦，他们对数字货币的实用性和监管表示了严重怀疑。该新闻稿特别指出了沃伦参议员为限制加密行业所做的努力，她经常将其描述为需要更严格监管的“影子系统”。

“Biden surrogate Elizabeth Warren said in an attack on cryptocurrency that she was building an ‘anti-crypto army’ to restrict Americans’ right to make their own financial choices. MAGA supporters, now with a new cryptocurrency option, will build a crypto army moving the campaign to victory on November 5th!,” the press release states.

拜登代理人伊丽莎白·沃伦在对加密货币的攻击中表示，她正在建立一支“反加密军队”，以限制美国人做出自己的财务选择的权利。 MAGA 支持者现在有了新的加密货币选项，他们将建立一支加密货币军队，推动这场运动在 11 月 5 日取得胜利！”新闻稿称。

David Bailey, the CEO of Bitcoin Magazine, who developed the Bitcoin agenda with the Trump campaign, commented via X, highlighting the significance of this move: “Only the start of the Trump news.”

与特朗普竞选团队一起制定比特币议程的比特币杂志首席执行官戴维·贝利 (David Bailey) 通过 X 发表评论，强调了这一举措的重要性：“这只是特朗普新闻的开始。”

He added, “Max the individual contribution to Trump, make sure to pay in bitcoin or crypto. We have his attention right now. Many decisions are being made. We want to validate this move with impressive numbers and keep him moving… Everything is on the table right now. 3,000 people max out their individual contribution over the next 48 hrs (adds up to ~$10m) Trump is going to be blown away.”

他补充道，“最大限度地增加对特朗普的个人贡献，确保以比特币或加密货币支付。我们现在引起了他的注意。许多决定正在做出。我们希望用令人印象深刻的数字来验证这一举动，并让他继续前进……现在一切都摆在桌面上了。 3,000 人在接下来的 48 小时内将个人捐款最大化（总计约 1000 万美元），特朗普将会大吃一惊。”

The Trump campaign has clarified that all crypto contributions will adhere strictly to Federal Election Commission (FEC) regulations. These donations will be reported as in-kind contributions, similar to gifts of stock, providing a transparent framework for how these funds will be accounted for. Donors are directed to a specific page on Trump’s official campaign website where they can complete their transactions through Coinbase Commerce, choosing from a wide range of crypto options.

特朗普竞选团队已澄清，所有加密货币捐款将严格遵守联邦选举委员会（FEC）的规定。这些捐赠将作为实物捐赠报告，类似于股票礼物，为如何核算这些资金提供透明的框架。捐赠者被引导至特朗普官方竞选网站上的特定页面，在那里他们可以通过 Coinbase Commerce 完成交易，并从多种加密货币选项中进行选择。

This strategic move comes at a critical time as Trump’s campaign finances have shown robust growth, even outpacing President Biden in April fundraising totals, according to reports. However, Biden’s campaign still maintains a larger reserve of cash on hand. By opening up the campaign to crypto donations, Trump is not only diversifying his fundraising options, but potentially tapping into crypto voters who are single-issue voters.

据报道，这一战略举措是在关键时刻做出的，因为特朗普的竞选财务显示出强劲增长，甚至超过了拜登总统 4 月份的筹款总额。不过，拜登竞选团队手头仍保有较大现金储备。通过向加密货币捐款开放竞选活动，特朗普不仅使其筹款选择多样化，而且有可能吸引单一问题选民的加密货币选民。

While the Trump campaign claims to be the first major party nominee to accept cryptocurrencies, it’s important to note that other political figures have also engaged with crypto. Robert F. Kennedy Jr., running an independent presidential campaign, and Senator Rand Paul in his 2015 presidential campaign, both accepted Bitcoin. However, the scope and variety of cryptocurrencies now accepted by the Trump campaign set a new precedent in terms of the breadth of digital assets involved.

虽然特朗普竞选团队声称是第一个接受加密货币的主要政党提名人，但值得注意的是，其他政治人物也参与了加密货币。正在进行独立总统竞选的小罗伯特·肯尼迪 (Robert F. Kennedy Jr.) 和 2015 年总统竞选中的参议员兰德·保罗 (Rand Paul) 都接受了比特币。然而，特朗普竞选团队现在接受的加密货币的范围和种类在所涉及的数字资产的广度方面开创了新的先例。
