The phenomenon #TrumpBitcoinEmpire is rapidly gaining momentum, combining Donald Trump's political influence with the cryptocurrency boom. After being elected President of the United States in 2025, Trump and his family actively invest in digital assets, creating a new financial empire. The central element is Trump Media & Technology Group, which has raised $2.5 billion to create a 'bitcoin treasury,' following Michael Saylor's strategy with MicroStrategy. The company has accumulated bitcoins worth $2 billion, which constitutes two-thirds of its liquid assets.
Additionally, Trump's sons, Eric and Donald Jr., have launched American Bitcoin – a cryptocurrency mining company that plans to go public on Nasdaq through a merger with Gryphon Digital Mining. World Liberty Financial, another family project, offers the USD1 stablecoin and plans to develop decentralized financial platforms.
These initiatives raise concerns about conflicts of interest, as Trump, using presidential powers, rolled back regulatory restrictions for the crypto industry and signed the GENIUS Act, which promotes the development of stablecoins. Critics, including congress members, warn of the potential influence of foreign investors on U.S. policy through crypto assets linked to Trump.
This is not just a business, but also a political tool that redefines the connection between power, finance, and technology, provoking both enthusiasm and heated discussions.
