New York City bar PubKey made a name for itself within the crypto community as a meeting place for Bitcoin enthusiasts, advocates and industry members.
In the 2024 election, its owners are hoping the bar will play a pivotal role for political candidates looking to reach crypto-focused voters.
Former President Donald Trump, who touts himself as a pro-crypto presidential candidate, made a campaign stop to buy burgers in bitcoin and speak with members of the community.
Trump’s recent visit follows other moves by the presidential candidate to sway the crypto community, including a keynote address at Bitcoin 2024 in Nashville, Tennessee and vowing to replace SEC Chair Gary Gensler, who is seen as a roadblock among business leaders in the industry.
PubKey also extended an invitation to Vice President Kamala Harris, who recently said she would support innovation in digital assets.
Watch the video above to learn how PubKey hopes to court presidential candidates and reach crypto voters.
