Memecoiners Unveil Giant Golden Trump Statue Holding Bitcoin
Memecoin enthusiasts just dropped the ultimate crypto flex—a massive golden statue of Donald Trump clutching Bitcoin like it's the new American dream.
The Symbolism
Gold meets digital gold in this bizarre yet brilliant tribute. Trump's golden form cradles Bitcoin—not a briefcase of cash, not a stack of bonds—but pure, decentralized power. It’s a statement, loud and clear: memes move markets, and politics just got punk’d.
The Irony
Because what says 'financial revolution' better than a gilded politician holding an asset designed to bypass… well, politicians? It’s almost poetic—if you ignore the fact that most of these meme coins will rug-pull faster than a Wall Street IPO.
The Takeaway
Love it or hate it, this statue screams one thing: crypto culture isn’t just evolving—it’s trolling tradition. And honestly? Finance could use a little more absurdity and a lot less suit-and-tie nonsense. Just don’t bet your life savings on the joke.
Organizers hail Trump’s pro-crypto role
One of the organizers, Hichem Zaghdoudi, told ABC 7News DC that the statue was meant to spark debate about “the future of government-issued currency” and symbolize how politics and financial innovation intersect.
“It shows that’s the future and this is our thank you, our statement, to the president,” Zaghdoudi said. “This is to show everybody that without the president, we could never have had this mass adoption of Bitcoin, of cryptocurrencies, of all these big institutions buying Bitcoin.”
The group described the statue as a tribute to Trump’s “unwavering commitment to advancing the future of finance through Bitcoin and decentralized technologies.”
The unveiling coincided with the Federal Reserve’s first interest rate cut of 2025, lowering rates by 25 basis points, a MOVE often seen as bullish for risk assets like Bitcoin.
National Mall becomes hotspot for Trump statues
The Trump-Bitcoin statue is the third Trump-themed display to appear on the National Mall this year, but notably the first in support of him.
Earlier installations included a golden hand crushing the Statue of Liberty’s crown in protest of Trump’s military parade and a golden television playing a controversial video involving Trump and Jeffrey Epstein.
While bitcoin has surged since late 2023, before Trump returned to office, his pro-crypto stance and campaign backing from the industry have cemented his image as the “Bitcoin president.”
