Crypto CEOs Fly to Mar-a-Lago, Make Large Donations as Inauguration Day Nears
Circle Chief Executive Officer Jeremy Allaire said Thursday on X that the stablecoin company contributed tokens worth $1 million to President-elect Donald Trump’s inaugural committee — joining a parade of other CEOs vying for favor as the incoming administration works to form a key crypto industry group.
With the inauguration less than two weeks away, industry executives are jockeying for access to Trump himself and for a seat on the planned crypto advisory council, expected to be formed soon after Trump takes office.
