#TrumpTariffs

Trump’s return to tariff rhetoric may rattle global markets — and crypto won’t be immune.

If new tariffs on China go into effect, we could see immediate volatility across equities and commodities. Historically, during trade wars (2018–2019), Bitcoin often acted as a “chaotic hedge” — spiking during equity sell-offs.

But the 2025 version is different:

• BTC is now institutionally held via ETFs

• U.S. miners and public companies dominate hashrate

• Tariff impact on hardware (e.g. ASICs, chips) may affect mining margins

If tariffs raise inflation expectations, the Fed could delay rate cuts — pressuring risk assets short-term.

Strategy:

• Hold BTC, but watch macro reaction

• Accumulate on fear-driven dips (under 98K)

• Reduce risk exposure if US–China headlines escalate

Geopolitics are back — and Bitcoin is now on the global chessboard.
