$BTC Bitcoin & Trade Tariffs: Between Pressure and Opportunity
In April 2025, the announcement of new tariffs by the Trump administration shook global markets. Bitcoin (BTC) briefly fell from $86,000 to $74,000 during the first week of April. However, after the announcement of a 90-day moratorium on tariffs, BTC climbed back to around $85,000.
Why do tariffs affect Bitcoin?
• Economic uncertainty: Tariffs can increase inflation and slow economic growth, prompting investors to seek alternative assets like
• Mining costs: Tariffs on
import equipment can raise operational costs for miners, affecting the supply of BTC.
• Perception as a hedge: In the long term, Bitcoin is viewed as a hedge against economic uncertainty and the weakening
of fiat currencies.
Conclusion: While tariffs may
cause short-term volatility, Bitcoin shows resilience and potential as a long-term hedge asset.
