Conor McGregor’s Bitcoin Dreams: A Presidential Punchline!

Ah, Conor McGregor, that illustrious pugilist turned potential president, has once again graced us with his grandiloquent aspirations. In a recent tweet, he proclaimed his intention to not only don the presidential sash but also to sprinkle a little Bitcoin magic onto Europe’s balance sheet. One can only imagine the glittering spectacle of a fighter-turned-leader, strutting into office with a swagger that could knock out a heavyweight.

On May 22, he tweeted, “First man to win two belts in the cage. First fighter to walk in as president. First president to put Bitcoin on Europe’s balance sheet. Ireland leads. Europe watches.” One can almost hear the trumpets blaring and the crowds roaring, as if he were stepping into the octagon rather than the hallowed halls of governance. 🎉

But let us not forget, this is not McGregor’s first dalliance with the world of cryptocurrency. Just weeks prior, on May 9, he waxed lyrical about the virtues of an Irish Bitcoin Reserve, claiming, “Crypto in its origin was founded to give power back to the people. An Irish Bitcoin strategic reserve will give power to the people’s money.” Ah, the people’s money! How noble! One can only hope it comes with a side of Guinness. 🍻

In a delightful twist, he announced plans to co-host a Twitter Space to expound upon his visionary ideas. The event drew the attention of crypto luminaries like Anthony Pompliano and David Bailey, who once advised the illustrious Donald Trump on matters of crypto policy. “We need the greatest minds for this BTC Reserve. Message me and let’s chat on my space,” McGregor implored Pompliano, as if he were assembling a crack team of crypto Avengers. 🦸‍♂️

McGregor’s presidential ambitions were first unveiled in March 2025, as he set his sights on pressing national issues like immigration and crime. Meanwhile, Ireland’s next presidential election looms on November 11, 2025, when the current president, Michael D. Higgins, will vacate his post. As of now, McGregor remains a free agent in the political arena, without an official nomination.

He firmly believes that establishing an Irish Strategic Bitcoin Reserve will empower citizens to seize control of their financial destinies. Last week, he was preparing to attend the Bitcoin Nation State Summit in El Salvador, where he is expected to engage in tête-à-tête with President Nayib Bukele. The two are rumored to discuss how Ireland might follow in El Salvador’s audacious footsteps in adopting Bitcoin at a national level. One can only hope they don’t end up in a brawl over the finer points of cryptocurrency! 🤼‍♂️
