Former President Donald Trump is once again selling digital trading cards. This time, his approach is more unusual. In a video shared on Truth Social, Trump announced a new series of NFT-based trading cards. These add to the range of memorabilia and merchandise he has sold over the years.
The NFTs start at $99. Trump promised special perks for buyers. For example, anyone who purchases 15 of these digital cards will receive one physical card in the mail. He described the cards as depicting him in various poses, including dancing and holding Bitcoins. “It’s really, I think, quite something,” Trump said.
But the offers don’t end there. Trump also revealed that supporters who spend at least $1,485 on 15 cards will receive a piece of the navy suit he wore during his June debate with Joe Biden. “People are calling it the knockout suit,” Trump said, adding that small pieces of the suit would be mailed to cardholders.
Here’s a summary of the perks for NFT buyers:
Number of Cards Purchased | Perks Offered |
15 | One physical trading card and a piece of the “knockout suit” |
25 | Invite to a gala at Trump National Golf Club |
250 | Two invites to a private “Ultra VIP” dinner and cocktail hour, three pairs of autographed Trump sneakers, and more limited edition NFTs |
If a buyer purchases 25 or more cards, they will be invited to a gala at the Trump National Golf Club in Jupiter, Florida. The biggest package, costing $24,750, includes 250 trading cards. It also comes with two invitations to a private “Ultra VIP” dinner and cocktail hour with Trump, along with other exclusive items.
Trump first launched his NFT collection in December 2022, shortly after prices began to drop in the NFT market. Despite concerns over the risks associated with digital assets, including a Treasury Department report highlighting their vulnerability to fraud and scams, Trump has continued to promote his NFTs.
He even spoke at a Bitcoin conference in Nashville recently, saying, “They call me the crypto president—I don’t know if that’s true or not, but a lot of people are saying that.”
