US President Trump: Secret Bitcoin Whale? Eric Trump Says Yes
In a surprising revelation, Eric Trump has confirmed that his father, President Donald Trump, holds a substantial amount of Bitcoin and strongly believes in its future.
Referring to Bitcoin as “digital gold,” Eric predicted explosive growth for the asset and called their holdings a “huge personal bet.” However, he declined to disclose the exact amount.
These remarks come amid growing signs that Donald Trump’s stance on cryptocurrency is rapidly evolving. According to Eric, the former president now sees crypto as strategically important for the United States. He warned that if America doesn’t embrace it, China will take the lead. Trump reportedly described crypto as “very popular” and “extremely hot right now,” even noting that Bitcoin showed more price stability than traditional markets during April’s volatility.
Eric also revealed a major policy change: President Trump has allegedly halted the sale of government-seized Bitcoin. Instead, he issued executive orders in March to preserve and grow the national crypto holdings. Rather than liquidating seized assets, the administration is reportedly building a “national crypto reserve,” reinvesting funds into Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies through forfeiture programs.
Paul Atkins to Lead the SEC
The interview further 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 plan to end the regulatory confusion that has long frustrated crypto investors.
Meanwhile, the unofficial TRUMP token—a meme coin launched on Trump’s inauguration day—briefly reached a $75 billion market cap within 48 hours before crashing by over 90%. Critics have speculated whether Trump was indirectly benefiting from the hype.
However, President Trump has denied any involvement in the coin’s creation or performance, stating that he has no financial ties and is unaware of its specifics.$TRUMP
