Former President Donald Trump made history by becoming the first U.S. president to complete a Bitcoin transaction at PubKey, a cryptocurrency-themed bar in New York City. During his visit, Trump purchased burgers and beers for patrons, declaring the payment process 'very easy' and receiving enthusiastic support from the crowd. This landmark event highlights Trump's evolving stance on digital currencies, as he has previously criticized Bitcoin but is now embracing it amid his ongoing campaign activities and the launch of a new cryptocurrency venture co-founded by his sons.

Trump's visit coincides with a significant rise in Bitcoin's popularity, as it has surged over 500% in value over the last five years. The event has been characterized as one of the most significant transactions in Bitcoin history, signaling a potential shift in political engagement with the cryptocurrency community.
