The White House announced the list of 37 donors for Trump's $400 million banquet hall project, including several tech and crypto companies
According to Fortune, the White House has released a list of 37 donors for the construction project of the White House Ballroom under the Trump administration. The budget for the project has increased from the initial $200 million to $400 million, primarily funded through tax-deductible private donations. The list shows that several technology and cryptocurrency companies participated in the donations, including:
It was reported that Alphabet, Google's parent company, reached a settlement with Trump earlier this year regarding the YouTube ban incident, and allocated $22 million of the settlement to the construction of the ballroom; defense contractor Lockheed Martin reportedly donated over $10 million.
In addition, several individuals from the cryptocurrency industry are also on the list, including:
- Charles Cascarilla
- Cameron Winklevoss
- Tyler Winklevoss
It was reported that Trump is currently accelerating the progress of the ballroom project and linking it to the security needs of the White House. Previously, the East Wing of the White House was demolished in 2025 to make way for a new building of approximately 90,000 square feet.
