In a surprising display of support, over 100,000 votes poured into a poll led by MicroStrategy chairman, Michael Saylor, to determine which 2024 presidential candidate would best advocate for Bitcoin. The results were clear: 90.9% of respondents favored Donald Trump over Kamala Harris, indicating his strong backing among Saylor’s followers as the champion for Bitcoin.
Trump’s Pro-Crypto Stance
As the U.S. election intensifies, cryptocurrency enthusiasts are closely monitoring the potential impact of each candidate on Bitcoin’s future. Trump has been an outspoken supporter of the digital asset, promising pro-crypto policies. One of his key promises is to replace SEC Chairman Gary Gensler on his first day in office. Trump’s track record further solidifies his ties to the crypto world, having launched multiple non-fungible token (NFT) collections and supported crypto projects related to his family.
Harris’s Regulatory Approach
Kamala Harris, while less vocal about her stance on cryptocurrency, is associated with the Biden-Harris administration’s cautious regulatory approach. The administration has taken a stricter view of cryptocurrency, focusing on enforcement-led actions through the SEC. This has led to a more regulatory environment for crypto assets, causing concern among supporters of Bitcoin and other digital currencies.
Crypto Community Reacts to Poll Results
The results of Michael Saylor’s poll sparked significant engagement on X, with over 1.4K comments, 1.8K reposts, and 6.2K likes. The poll reached more than half a million views, highlighting the crypto community’s preference for a candidate who actively supports digital innovation. This engagement reflects the growing influence of cryptocurrency in U.S. politics.
Bitcoin Price Projections in the Lead-Up to Election Day
Market analysts have weighed in, suggesting that a Trump victory could lead to a surge in Bitcoin’s price, with projections reaching $73,000. As election day approaches, cryptocurrency advocates are placing their bets on Trump as the best candidate for Bitcoin’s future, generating excitement in digital finance circles. His potential presidency could be a game-changer for the crypto industry in the U.S.
