Big Money Behind the Scenes
Inaugurations aren’t just ceremonies—they’re power plays. Trump’s inaugural committee has already raised over $170 million, with a goal of hitting $200 million. These events often attract corporate giants and wealthy donors eager to align with the new administration.
Major companies are already trying to build bridges. Notably, crypto heavyweights like Coinbase, Kraken, Ripple, and MoonPay have joined traditional industries in contributing to the inaugural fund.
And let’s not overlook Elon Musk—the Tesla CEO donated $259 million to Trump’s 2024 campaign, making him one of the largest political donors in U.S. history.
