'There are no secrets in the crypto world, only tactics!' As soon as the Trump family appeared, Bitcoin directly rose by 2%, but then turned around to insult the reporter as 'ridiculously stupid'—is this operation a smokescreen or a genuine investment?
Event Review: Did they just deny it for nothing?
On May 26, (Financial Times) reported that the Trump Media Group plans to raise $3 billion to buy coins, with $2 billion in stocks and $1 billion in convertible bonds, directly paralleling the tactics of 'coin buying madman' MicroStrategy (now renamed Strategy) 136. Upon the news, Bitcoin surged past $110,000, and Dogecoin and Solana followed with a 3% increase 14.
But the backlash came too quickly!
DJT quickly responded: '(Financial Times) reporter is stupid, and the source is even stupider!' 257. Strangely, they only insulted others, but did not directly deny the coin buying plan, and even got exposed for already planning ETF, meme coins, and NFTs, and even held a 'Trump Coin Benefactor Dinner'.
Crypto Circle Response: Actions speak louder than words.
Bitcoin: Saying no, but the price is very honest. As soon as the news broke, BTC immediately rose by 2%, stabilizing around $110,000.
Retail Investor Mentality: The belief that 'Trump family buying coins = bullish signal' has become a consensus. After all, they previously made hundreds of millions from issuing TRUMP coins and MELANIA coins, and now their denial seems like a 'cover-up'.
Institutional Following: Ripple spends $1.25 billion to acquire a brokerage, SoftBank collaborates with a coin platform, and even the son of the US Secretary of Commerce is getting into Bitcoin investment—all for the 'Trump dividend'.
Underlying Motive: The 'cryptocurrency calculation' of the business-minded president.
Replicating the MSTR Myth: MicroStrategy bought coins by issuing bonds, increasing its market value from obscurity to $100 billion, and the Trump family clearly wants to replicate this 'market value management' operation.
Ties Between Political and Business Interests: While Trump shouts 'Make America the crypto capital', he transfers 53% of the shares to his son's trust, appearing to isolate himself but actually maintaining family control.
New Harvesting Methods: Promoting cryptocurrency ETFs, holding dinners to attract investors, issuing meme coins—the Trump family has already turned 'traffic monetization' into an industrial chain.
Risk Warning: Be careful of becoming a 'sucker'.
Policy Risk: The Democrats have set their sights on Trump's 'crypto business', accusing him of using his presidential position for personal gain, and may strengthen regulation in the future.
Market Bubble: Large institutions are flooding in and pushing up coin prices, but if Bitcoin corrects, DJT's 'buying and holding coins' strategy may backfire.
Trust Crisis: Denying financing while desperately seeking attention, this 'wolf is coming' act has been played too much, and retail investors will eventually become immune.
