Mining company MARA Holdings has inscribed an AI portrait of Donald Trump on the Bitcoin blockchain, in recognition of the President-elect's support for Bitcoin. The move highlights the growing anticipation of America's first allegedly pro-crypto president. Trump has promised to ensure that all remaining coins are "made in the USA" and to implement policies to ensure the US has the cheapest energy globally. Some industry players believe Trump could recognize Bitcoin as a reserve asset on day one of his term.
