In a historic moment for the cryptocurrency community, presidential candidate Donald Trump gathered with top Bitcoin mining companies at Mar-a-Lago on Tuesday night, promising to advocate for them internationally.

The meeting, which included representatives from CleanSpark, Riot Platforms, Marathon Digital, and other prominent industry players, marked a significant step in Trump's campaign to support the cryptocurrency industry. Trump, who has previously accepted cryptocurrency for official campaign donations, told attendees that he "loves" and understands cryptocurrency, and that miners help to stabilize the energy grid.

The meeting took place amid growing criticism of crypto mining due to its environmental impact and strain on power grids. However, Trump assured attendees that he would advocate for miners in the White House, and that his administration would work to end the hostility towards cryptocurrency in the US.

Trump's supportive stance on cryptocurrency has been welcomed by his supporters, who see it as a key issue in the 2024 presidential election. Billionaire Mark Cuban has also weighed in on the matter, saying that each candidate's stance on crypto may become a defining issue in the election.

"I have said many times that Biden has to choose between [SEC Chair Gary] Gensler or crypto voters, or it could cost him the White House," Cuban said.

The meeting at Mar-a-Lago marked a significant moment in the journey towards hyperbitcoinization, with Trump committing to champion the cause of Bitcoin miners in the White House.
