Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump believe Bitcoin could skyrocket to $170,000 by the end of 2026. Speaking at the Bitcoin 2025 conference in Las Vegas, Don Jr. predicted Bitcoin would trade “between $150,000 and $175,000,” while Eric joked it could go “to the moon.”
Eric highlighted Bitcoin’s growing demand, saying, “Every day, people are allocating billions to it. Even 0.1 BTC will be worth a fortune.” Currently, Bitcoin is trading around $107,502, down 1% from its all-time high of $112,000 reached on May 22.
The Trump brothers have fully embraced crypto, backing projects like World Liberty Financial and American Bitcoin, a mining firm tied to Trump-led American Data Centers. American Bitcoin is also planning to go public via SPAC this year.
They credit Michael Saylor, executive chairman of Strategy, for inspiring their crypto push. According to Eric, Saylor once urged them to mortgage Mar-a-Lago to buy Bitcoin, saying, “Do what I’m doing.” Saylor’s influence also sparked Trump Media’s plan to raise $2.5 billion for a Bitcoin treasury.
Eric said institutions, royal families, and private offices globally are now developing Bitcoin treasury strategies. “No one wants to sell it. Everyone wants in,” he said. He also criticized traditional banks, claiming he was “debanked” and calling the system “corrupt.”
Meanwhile, Democrats have raised concerns over the Trumps’ crypto dealings and introduced a bill to restrict political families from crypto investments, citing potential corruption risks.
