US President Trump: Secret Bitcoin Whale? Eric Trump Says Yes

In a surprising revelation, Eric Trump confirmed that his father, President Donald Trump, holds a substantial amount of Bitcoin and strongly believes in its future.

Calling Bitcoin “digital gold,” Eric predicted explosive growth for the asset and referred to their holdings as a “huge personal bet”—though he declined to disclose exact figures.

The remarks come amid growing signs that Donald Trump’s stance on crypto is evolving rapidly. According to Eric, the former president sees cryptocurrency as strategically important for America, warning that if the U.S. doesn’t embrace it, China will. Trump reportedly described crypto as “very popular” and “extremely hot right now,” noting that Bitcoin showed more price stability than traditional markets during April’s volatility.

Eric also revealed a major policy shift: President Trump has allegedly halted the sale of government-seized Bitcoin, issuing executive orders in March to preserve and grow the national crypto holdings instead. Rather than liquidate seized assets, the administration is said to be building a “national crypto reserve,” reinvesting funds into Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies through forfeiture processes.

Paul Atkins to Lead the SEC

The interview also highlighted regulatory changes under Trump’s administration. Former SEC commissioner Paul Atkins has reportedly been appointed to lead a revamped SEC, as part of a broader effort to end the regulatory ambiguity that has long frustrated crypto investors.

Meanwhile, the TRUMP token, a meme coin launched unofficially on Trump’s inauguration day, briefly reached a market cap of $75 billion within 48 hours—before crashing over 90%. Critics questioned whether Trump was indirectly profiting from the hype.

President Trump has denied any involvement in the coin’s performance or distribution, stating he has no financial ties and is unaware of the specifics.
