#TrumpTariffs When Trump announced steep tariffs—such as 25% on Japan and South Korea or broader 50% tariffs targeting China—Bitcoin dropped by ~1% in hours.

Early April saw BTC plunge from ~$85K to ~$81K after tariff news—but rebounded later, outperforming equities as investors sought alternative assets.

Analysts suggest tariffs may weaken the US dollar and fuel inflation—conditions under which Bitcoin, as a non‑sovereign asset, can flourish long-term. Still, in the near term, trade uncertainty tends to suppress risk assets like BTC .
