Eric Trump’s Bullish Bitcoin Stance Sends Ripples Through Crypto Community
In a notable development that has captured the attention of the cryptocurrency world, Eric Trump has expressed an optimistic outlook on Bitcoin through a post on X. His message, “Feels like a great time to enter BTC! 🚀 @worldlibertyfi,” swiftly ignited a flurry of reactions from industry experts and crypto enthusiasts.
Is Eric Trump’s Endorsement a Bullish Signal or Mere Hype?
The cryptocurrency community was quick to respond to Eric Trump’s bold statement. Michael Saylor, the Executive Chairman of Strategy, formerly known as MicroStrategy, was among the first to chime in: “No â‚żetter Time 🚀.” Similarly, Eric Weiss, CEO of the Bitcoin Investment Group, echoed this sentiment, affirming, “It’s always a great time to buy Bitcoin.”

However, not every response was a straightforward endorsement. Crypto analyst Byzantine General (@ByzGeneral) offered a more sardonic perspective, stating, “People hold ETH for one day and become a BTC maxi.” Joe Consorti, Head of Growth at Theya, humorously remarked, “Only took him 3 days to capitulate,” referring to Eric Trump’s earlier declaration just three days prior that it was “a great time to add ETH.” This comment coincided with a sharp rise in Ethereum’s price, which jumped from around $2,300 to over $2,900 within a single day.
Market analysts have noted that Ethereum’s price surge was part of a larger recovery across the crypto market, which had previously dipped due to proposed tariffs that were subsequently paused by President Donald Trump. There remains no concrete evidence linking Eric Trump’s statements to Ethereum’s price movements. With Eric Trump now turning his attention to Bitcoin, speculation abounds. Some traders ponder whether he possesses insider knowledge, while others view it as another fleeting endorsement. As of now, Eric Trump has not provided a clear explanation for his change in focus.
Exploring the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve
Earlier this week, David Sacks, appointed by President Donald Trump as the administration’s AI and crypto czar, confirmed that the White House is actively considering the establishment of a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve. “The President has instructed us to evaluate the feasibility of a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve as part of the administration’s internal working group,” Sacks announced during a press conference.
Eric Trump has consistently been vocal about his ambitious predictions for Bitcoin, the world’s largest cryptocurrency. Speaking at the Bitcoin MENA conference earlier this year, he reminisced about the day Bitcoin reached $100,000, stating, “I can tell you a lot of eyes were open when Bitcoin hit $100,000. And I can tell you a hell of a lot more eyes will be open when Bitcoin hits $1 million.” He further reinforced his belief with a personal conviction: “I’m confident it’s going to hit $1 million; I think we are all confident in this room that it will hit $1 million.”
What Lies Ahead for Bitcoin’s Price?
According to a report from Axios published in January, President Donald Trump reportedly set a $150,000 Bitcoin target at the beginning of his presidency, likening the cryptocurrency to “another stock market.” Recently, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent addressed concerns regarding the administration’s monetary priorities. Instead of focusing on the Federal Reserve’s benchmark rates, Bessent highlighted the President’s focus on long-term borrowing costs, stating, “He and I are focused on the 10-year Treasury,” during an interview with Fox Business. He added, “He is not calling for the Fed to lower interest rates.”
The trajectory of 10-year Treasury yields is deemed crucial for both traditional and cryptocurrency markets. Lower yields typically encourage borrowing and investment, fostering risk-taking. Many analysts interpret this as a significant bullish signal for Bitcoin’s price.
While Eric Trump’s endorsement has once again brought Bitcoin into the spotlight, the underlying reasons for his sudden enthusiasm remain unclear. The market, influenced by evolving interest-rate strategies and speculation surrounding a potential federal crypto reserve, could become pivotal bullish drivers.
At the time of writing, Bitcoin was trading at $98,137.
