Bitcoin Inc., which operates the Bitcoin Conference where President-elect Donald Trump spoke last year, is hosting an industry inauguration celebration later this month. 

Co-hosts for the event, dubbed the “Crypto Ball,” are non-profit Stand With Crypto, Exodus and Anchorage Digital. The sponsorship package to co-host the event costs $5 million, according to documents shared with Blockworks. Other sponsorship opportunities range from $150,000 to $1 million. Sponsors include Coinbase, MetaMask and Galaxy Digital. 

Bitcoin Inc. has partnered with MAGA Inc. and David Sacks, the incoming Trump Administration’s “crypto czar,” to host the Jan. 17 event. General admission tickets, of which 800 are available, are going for $2,500 apiece. 

It’s unclear whether Trump and/or Vice President-elect JD Vance will be in attendance. 

“It’s hard to get a direct confirmation at the presidential/vice presidential level but we’re optimistic they will attend and we will definitely be the event to attend for pro-crypto cabinet members and high-level staffers,” a note from Bitcoin Inc. that was shared with Blockworks read. 

Given the industry’s level of interest in this election, and Trump’s apparent support, we weren’t surprised to hear about the party, or who’s involved. 

Any Forward Guidance readers have a seat at their table? I just might know a journalist itching for a media invite.
