On April 22, according to Fortune magazine, U.S. Federal Election Commission documents showed that U.S. President Donald Trump held the most luxurious inauguration event in history due to a record $239 million in donations from corporate supporters and executives. A significant portion of the money comes from the crypto industry, which has been one of Trump's most vocal supporters: Crypto companies and their executives donated $18 million to the 47th U.S. president's inauguration. Among all donors, Ripple Labs has the largest donation amount, reaching nearly US$4.9 million, ranking second. Ripple has been in a long-running lawsuit with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Pilgrim's, one of the world's largest poultry producers, topped the list with a $5 million donation. Online broker Robinhood, whose revenue comes from crypto trading, donated $2 million. Other major donors include some of the industry's top companies, such as trading platforms Coinbase, Kraken and Crypto.com; stablecoin issuer Circle, which recently applied to go public; and venture capital giant Paradigm, whose asset management is near all-time high in 2024-both of which donated $1 million.
