Bitcoin Nashville is about to kick off, with industry attention centered on former President Donald Trump’s keynote address on Bitcoin and the entire crypto industry.

Hours remain before the Bitcoin Conference in Nashville, Tennessee, begins, bringing together key industry figures from the crypto world and high-profile politicians for a comprehensive look at the market. The spotlight is on former President Donald Trump, who is expected to deliver a significant message. Event organizer and BTC Inc. chief of staff Brandon Green shared this information with the media. Despite the anticipation, the market seems steady, with Polymarket bettors skeptical that Trump will announce anything substantial.

What is clear is that the event will be financially beneficial for Trump. Bitcoin Magazine chief executive David Bailey has reportedly committed to raising $15 million for the Republican presidential nominee during the conference.

Pro-crypto Republican Sen. Cynthia Lummis of Wyoming is also expected to make significant announcements, potentially revealing that she’s been working on new legislation requiring the Federal Reserve to hold Bitcoin (BTC) as a strategic reserve asset.

Other speakers include independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr., ARK founder Cathie Wood, and former MicroStrategy chief executive Michael Saylor, though the details of their speeches remain unclear.

The conference will also feature controversial figures such as British comedian Russell Brand, who has faced multiple accusations of sexual assault and inappropriate behavior from several women. He has been under investigation by police and has been questioned by detectives.

Prior to yesterday, there was speculation that Vice President and presumptive Democratic nominee Kamala Harris might attend the conference as well, but she reportedly declined following discussions with organizers. Trump is expected to speak at 2 p.m. CT (19:00 UTC) for 30 minutes on Jul. 27, the final day of the conference.
