Donald Trump’s company, CIC Ventures LLC, is selling a limited run of Bitcoin-themed sneakers. Dubbed the “Crypto President,” these high-tops are available in two versions: 1,000 pairs of “Bitcoin orange” for $500 each, and 4,000 pairs of “luxurious black” for $299 each.
Meanwhile, the sneakers celebrate <a href="https://coingape.com/crypto-entrepreneur-reveals-bitcoin-donation-to-donald-trump/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Trump’s</a> vision for the future of finance, featuring a prominent Bitcoin symbol. This initiative follows Trump’s recent appearance at the Bitcoin conference in Nashville, where he promised to create a national Bitcoin reserve if elected.
In addition, he also expressed his ambition for the US to become a global crypto superpower. The former US president’s stance marks a notable change from his earlier criticism of Bitcoin, which he once called a scam.
Meanwhile, tech enthusiasts and crypto supporters are rallying behind the former US president. They view him as a friendlier candidate compared to President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris. Notable figures like <a href="https://coingape.com/glossary/elon-musk/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Elon Musk</a>, the Winklevoss twins, and Andreessen Horowitz owners Marc Andreessen and Ben Horowitz have endorsed or supported him financially.
These endorsements highlight the growing alliance between the former US president and the crypto community.

Donald Trump’s vice-presidential running mate, Senator J.D. Vance of Ohio, also supports cryptocurrencies. Vance holds <a href="https://coingape.com/glossary/bitcoin/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Bitcoin</a> valued between $100,001 and $250,000, reinforcing the campaign’s crypto-friendly stance.
The release of these sneakers is part of his broader strategy to appeal to a diverse voter base, including the sneakerhead community. CIC Ventures, the company behind the sneakers, has previously launched other limited-edition footwear like the “FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT High-Tops” and “Never Surrender” shoes. These products have allowed him to tap into various cultural trends and monetize his brand effectively.
Meanwhile, the Bitcoin sneakers are not just merchandise but a political statement. As “Shark Tank” star Mark Cuban pointed out, Donald Trump’s crypto-friendly administration could facilitate necessary regulatory changes at the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
This could make it easier to operate businesses, further aligning with his interests of the <a href="https://coingape.com/glossary/cryptocurrency/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">cryptocurrency</a> community. His pivot towards cryptocurrencies and his latest merchandise reflects a strategic alignment with emerging financial technologies and the digital economy. The Bitcoin sneakers symbolize his campaign’s innovative approach and his willingness to embrace new ideas to garner support.
