Donald Trump releases NFT collection on Bitcoin Ordinals

The special thing about this collection is that all 160 NFTs are created on Alpha sats, the first satoshis in each Bitcoin block.

On January 9, 2025, the X (Twitter) account specializing in selling NFTs of the new US President Donald Trump officially announced a new collection called Trump Bitcoin Digital Trading Cards, launched through the Ordinals protocol on the Bitcoin network, with a total supply of 160 NFTs issued.

The latest NFT collection will include 160 NFTs, of which 100 NFTs will be reserved for users who own the Mugshot Edition NFT released in December 2023. These people can mint new NFTs on the Magic Eden platform for only 0.00001 BTC (about 0.94 USD).

The highlight of this collection is that all 160 NFTs are created on Alpha sats - the first satoshi recorded in each Bitcoin block. This is the factor that makes the collection unique and highly collectible.

As of writing, 34 of the 119 NFTs have been minted, with a minting deadline of January 31, 2025. Of these, 15 have been listed on the Magic Eden platform with a starting price of 0.177 BTC, and the most expensive NFT is worth up to 20 BTC.

Although this is the first time the Trump Digital Trading Cards NFT collection has been launched on the Bitcoin network, President Trump has previously issued NFTs via the Ordinals protocol. In January 2024, he launched a collection of 200 NFTs on Bitcoin Ordinals, reserved for the first 200 people to purchase 100 NFTs from the Mugshot Edition collection. With each mugshot priced at $99, anyone who wants to own Trump's first NFT on Bitcoin will have to pay $9,900.

According to data from NFT Price Floor, Trump’s first collection recorded 2,180 transactions in the past 90 days, with a growth of 71.1%, bringing in $330,774 in revenue. The second version was even more impressive, with a 151% increase in transactions, reaching 4,579 transactions, and a total revenue of $147,605. Furthermore, the fourth Trump Digital Trading Cards NFT collection, “America First,” launched in August 2024, raised more than $2 million in the first 24 hours.

The move to launch the NFT collection on the Bitcoin network also clearly shows the new President’s commitment to supporting Bitcoin. In December 2024, Mr. Trump reaffirmed that he would establish a Bitcoin reserve fund for the United States in the context of the increasingly embracing crypto trend by powers like China and Russia.

Donald Trump was also the first US President to post a congratulatory message for Bitcoin reaching the historic milestone of $100,000 on December 5, exactly one month after he won the election. The new President also claimed that he had a great deal of credit for helping BTC reach this milestone and expressed his ambition to bring Bitcoin price to $150,000 right in the early stages of his term.

Bitcoin price has dropped more than 2% in the past 24 hours and is currently hovering around $92,300 after multiple sources said that the US Department of Justice has received court approval to sell $6.5 billion worth of Bitcoin seized from Silk Road
