Former President Donald Trump has launched three non-fungible token collections, with the first one dating back to December 2022.
The latest collection, which featured the ex-president’s widely circulated mugshot, offered unique benefits to purchasers of specific quantities. On Thursday, an additional exclusive advantage was unveiled, following the third collection’s failure to sell out.
What Happened: After launching NFT collections in December 2022 and April 2023, the former president returned with a third collection called “The MugShot Edition,” taking advantage of the viral mugshot of the former president.
For the first time, the third collection offered physical editions of the cards. Anyone purchasing 47 cards would receive a physical card incorporating a piece of the suit Trump wore in the viral mug shot photo from his 2023 arrest in Georgia.
With the third collection not selling out like the first two, a new perk could increase sales volume.
Trump Digital Trading Cards announced the first ever Bitcoin Ordinals for the collection. Consumers who buy 100 Trump Digital Trading Cards from the Mugshot Edition will get a “one-of-one Trump Digital Trading Card.”
“Your One-of-One card will be minted as a Bitcoin Ordinal,” a tweet said.
Bitcoin Ordinals are similar to NFTs and are a way to store text, images and other data on the Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) blockchain. Ordinals use satoshis, which are the smallest denomination on the Bitcoin blockchain. Each Satoshi has a serial number related to the order it was originally mined.
There will only be 200 of the 1/1 “Trump Digital Trading Cards: MugShot Edition” Bitcoin Ordinals. According to the company, there are only 99 left to purchase, meaning 101 people likely already bought 100 of the MugShot Edition NFTs previously. People who previously bought 100 NFTs in the new collection will get an Ordinal.
Instructions on how to claim the Bitcoin Ordinal will be provided at a later date, and Trump Digital Trading Cards will use Magic Eden for the process.
News of the Trump Bitcoin Ordinals comes with the president having a mixed record with the leading cryptocurrency.
“I am not a fan of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, which are not money, and whose value is highly volatile and based on thin air,” Trump tweeted on July 11, 2019.
