Former President Donald Trump was seen passing out hamburgers at a Bitcoin bar in New York City on Wednesday, before his rally in Uniondale.
Video footage posted to X by Margo Martin, Trump’s deputy communications director, showed Trump handing out burgers at the PubKey bar, a crypto-currency-themed bar in Manhattan.
“Who wants a hamburger?” Trump asked the crowd of people in the bar before passing out the burgers. “These suckers are good, too. They make them good here. This is a crypto-burger.”
“No, it’s a Bitcoin burger,” someone could be heard saying in the video.
“Actually, actually you should name them Bitcoin and a Crypto,” Trump added.
Other video footage showed Trump paying his tab at the bar, marking the first public transaction from a president using cryptocurrency.
“I just made the first transaction in Bitcoin,” Trump said, according to the New York Post.
The former president has previously stated he would be a “crypto president” and has been a supporter of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies.
On Monday, during an interview on an X Space, Trump announced his new cryptocurrency business, World Liberty Financial.
Trump is set to host a rally at the Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum at 7:00 p.m. EST.
