Dogecoin Surge 8% After Elon Musk’s $75M Donation To Trump, Is a $1 DOGE On The Horizon?
Elon Musk, a prominent advocate of Dogecoin, has made a substantial financial contribution of approximately $75 million to the America PAC, a political action committee aligned with Donald Trump’s presidential campaign. This donation positions Musk among the leading financial backers of Trump’s re-election efforts.
The America PAC
The America PAC, which Musk is associated with, aims to endorse candidates who prioritize principles such as border security, fiscal responsibility, public safety, judicial fairness, freedom of expression, and self-defence. As reported by the independent watchdog OpenSecrets, this PAC has already expended over $96 million in support of Trump’s campaign.

Campaign Dynamics in Pennsylvania
Musk is actively participating in the election process by conducting a series of events in Pennsylvania leading up to a critical vote. Participation is open to individuals who sign a petition advocating for free speech and who have registered to vote in the state. Sources indicate that Musk will extend his campaigning efforts beyond a recent Trump rally, reinforcing the connection between his public appearances and the America PAC’s objectives.
Recent data from Polymarket indicates that Trump currently holds a 14% advantage over Kamala Harris in Pennsylvania, a shift that coincides with Musk’s intensified engagement at Trump rallies.
Dogecoin’s Market Response
In the cryptocurrency sector, Dogecoin (DOGE) has remained resilient despite recent downturns across the broader market. Currently trading at approximately $0.125, DOGE has seen an 8% increase in the last 24 hours and a 22% rise over the past month. The trading volume has surged by over 50% in this timeframe.
In derivative markets, DOGE futures have experienced a notable 22% rise within just four hours as traders anticipate a price rally. Coinglass data shows that the total open interest (OI) in Dogecoin futures has reached a peak of 6.05 billion DOGE, equivalent to $758.41 million.
Bullish Momentum
This bullish momentum can be attributed, in part, to Musk’s endorsement of Trump and speculation surrounding the proposed Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). Trump has signalled a potential key role for Musk should he secure the presidency, further fuelling speculation of DOGE reaching the $1 mark.
Additionally, Musk’s Tesla has executed a significant transaction by relocating its Bitcoin holdings, valued at $760 million, from its public wallet marking its first BTC activity in two years. This strategic move appears to be aimed at enhancing security by distributing assets across various cold wallets.
