Both Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump are of the opinion that the price of Bitcoin might reach $170,000 by the end of the year 2026. During his presentation at the Bitcoin 2025 conference held in Las Vegas, Don Jr. forecasted that the price of Bitcoin will range “between $150,000 and $175,000,” while Eric joked that it might really go “to the moon.”

Eric brought attention to the ever-increasing desire for Bitcoin by stating, “Every day, people are channeling billions of dollars toward it.” Even a fraction of a bitcoin will be worth a fortune. The price of Bitcoin is now trading at about $107,502, which is a 1% decrease from its all-time high of $112,000, which was hit on May 22.

In their complete embrace of cryptocurrency, the Trump brothers have provided financial support to businesses such as World Liberty Financial and American Bitcoin, a mining company that is affiliated with Trump-led American Data Centers. Additionally, as of this year, American Bitcoin intends to go public via the use of SPAC.

They attribute the motivation for their cryptocurrency drive to Michael Saylor, who serves as the executive chairman of Strategy. Eric claims that Saylor once suggested that they take out a mortgage on Mar-a-Lago in order to purchase Bitcoin, telling them to “Do what I’m doing.” Trump Media’s idea to collect $2.5 billion for a Bitcoin treasury was also conceptualized as a result of Saylor’s extensive influence.

It was reported by Eric that private offices, royal families, and organizations all across the world are now working on building Bitcoin treasury strategy. “No one is interested in selling it. Someone stated, “Everyone wants to be in.” Additionally, he expressed his disapproval of conventional financial institutions, asserting that he had been “debanked” and referring to the system as “corrupt.”

During this time, Democrats have expressed their worry with the Trumps’ cryptocurrency activities and have proposed a measure that would prohibit political families from investing in cryptocurrency, noting the possibility for corruption caused by such investments.
