The Trump-Vance inaugural committee raised a staggering $240 million for the second presidential inaugural of President Donald Trump, a new FEC filing shows, including millions from the cryptocurrency industry, cabinet members of the Trump administration and other corporate leaders.<\/p>\n

The record-breaking $240 million dwarfs the $107 million that Trump’s first inaugural committee had raised in 2017.<\/p>\n

The filing only discloses donations and refunds, so it’s not yet clear how much of that money was actually spent on inaugural events and how much of that money is left.<\/p>\n

The biggest donor was multinational food company Pilgrim’s Pride Corporation, which gave $5 million despite having very little political contribution history at the federal level in recent years.<\/p>\n

A close runner-up was crypto company Ripple, which gave $4.9 million.<\/p>\n
