A golden statue of US President Donald Trump appeared in Washington, DC, where he holds a bitcoin in his hands. The 12-foot-tall (about 3.66 meters) object was installed about a mile from the White House, Cointelegraph noted.
The installation was organized by the founders of the meme coin DJTGST. They explained that the statue is “a tribute to Trump’s visionary leadership and his unwavering dedication to advancing the future of finance through bitcoin and decentralized technology.”
Hichem Zaghdudi, a spokesperson for the investors who funded the project, noted in an interview with ABC 7News DC:
The installation of the statue occurred against the backdrop of the decision of the U.S. Federal Reserve for the first time in a year to reduce the key rate by 25 basis points.
Note that the capitalization of the meme coin DJTGST, created in honor of the statue, is about $103,000. At its peak, the figure was nearly $2.4 million, according to pump.fun.

The company said its local subsidiary, BitGo Europe, can now provide custody, staking, transfer, and trading services. Institutional clients will also have access to an over-the-counter (OTC) trading desk and multiple liquidity venues.The extension builds on BitGo’s previous Markets-in-Crypto-Assets (MiCA) license, also issued by BaFIN, and adds trading to the existing custody, transfer and staking services. BitGo acquired its initial MiCA license in May 2025, which allowed it to offer certain services to traditional institutions and crypto native companies in the European Union.Read more
