As calls for a presidential pardon grow louder, Roger Ver, known as "Bitcoin Jesus," remains in legal limbo. Facing up to 109 years in prison for alleged tax evasion totaling $48 million, Ver's case has drawn the attention of major figures, including Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin, Silk Road’s Ross Ulbricht, and media personality Tucker Carlson. Ver, who renounced his U.S. citizenship in 2014, was arrested in Spain in 2024, reigniting legal battles with the U.S. government. Following Trump’s recent pardons of crypto-related figures like BitMEX co-founders and Ulbricht, many wonder if Ver could be next.

Trump’s recent pro-crypto stance has fueled speculation, with his administration dropping SEC investigations into major firms like Ripple and Coinbase. Additionally, after Trump pardoned Ross Ulbricht, social media influencers and even Elon Musk hinted at a possible pardon for Ver. However, Musk later stated that Ver wouldn’t receive clemency due to his renounced citizenship, a remark that stirred controversy as the president holds full discretion on pardons, regardless of citizenship status. Meanwhile, Trump’s ex-wife, Marla Maples, shared a video showcasing Ver’s generosity, adding emotional weight to the campaign for his release.

While Trump has yet to comment on Ver’s case, Libertarian Party Chair Angela McArdle and other advocates continue to push for his freedom. With the crypto community closely watching, Ver’s fate remains uncertain. Will Trump extend his leniency to "Bitcoin Jesus," or will Ver’s legal struggles persist? The decision could send a strong message about the administration’s stance on cryptocurrency and financial freedom.
