Trump's son predicts "Bitcoin will soar to $170,000 next year," naming Michael Saylor as the mentor.

Donald Trump's two sons, Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump, publicly expressed bullish sentiments about Bitcoin, predicting that Bitcoin will break through $170,000 by the end of 2026. They also revealed that the key driving force behind the Trump family's entry into the crypto world is Michael Saylor, the founder of Strategy and a major player in long positions on Bitcoin.

Donald Trump Jr. predicts that Bitcoin will reach between 150,000 to 175,000 USD by the end of 2026; Eric Trump jokingly claims that Bitcoin "will soar and rush to the moon," and then shifts his tone to point out that the supply cap of Bitcoin is amplifying the market's perception of scarcity:

Billions of dollars pour into the Bitcoin market every day, and 0.1 Bitcoin could potentially be an astonishing fortune in the future.

According to CoinGecko quotes, the current trading price of Bitcoin is $108,119, with a slight decrease of 0.5% during the day. Looking back to May 22, Bitcoin once surged to $112,000, setting a new historical high, rebounding over 45% from the April low.

From Bullish to Action: The Trump Brothers Accelerate Their Layout

Not only are they vocally supportive, but the Trump brothers have also taken action and are actively laying out plans in the crypto world, including the Bitcoin mining company American Bitcoin and the DeFi project World Liberty Financial (WLFI).

American Bitcoin was jointly established by the listed mining company Hut 8 and the Trump family's American Data Centers, and is preparing to go public through a SPAC. On the other hand, World Liberty Financial recently launched the stablecoin USD1, expanding its presence in the crypto world.

Donald Trump Jr. emphasized: "We are not just shouting slogans, but we are actually executing, and we are very optimistic about cryptocurrency, which has become a part of our core business."

Trump Media Group Establishes 'Bitcoin Reserve', Strategy Becomes Blueprint Model

The Trump family's ambitions in the crypto world do not stop here; their Trump Media and Technology Group plans to raise $2.5 billion to establish a Bitcoin reserve, following a similar Strategy model.

At the same time, American Bitcoin is also promoting the so-called "staking sats" (i.e., reserving Bitcoin and enhancing the value of Bitcoin per share) strategy, aiming to establish a corporate model tied to market value and Bitcoin, similar to Strategy.

Eric Trump admitted that the spark that ignited their passion for Bitcoin was Michael Saylor, founder and Executive Chairman of Strategy. He recalled, "Saylor seriously suggested that we mortgage Mar-a-Lago to buy Bitcoin. He said, 'Do as I do, this is a rare opportunity.'"

He added that the reason the crypto world attracts him is because this industry is never stingy in inviting smart people to join, "You rarely see big shots in traditional industries encouraging others to come and grab the market like this."

Eric Trump stated that from Middle Eastern royalty, African tycoons to Asian family offices, they are all getting into Bitcoin. He pointed out that at this time last year, there were probably less than 100 companies adopting Bitcoin strategies, but now it has become a global trend.

Criticizing the corruption of the financial system: "I hope some big banks disappear soon"

He also revealed that he first entered the crypto world after realizing the corruption and injustice of the financial system when his bank account was suddenly frozen. "The entire system has long been weaponized. I don't often say this, but I sincerely hope some big banks disappear soon; they deserve it."

The Trump family is making significant moves in the crypto world, which has raised concerns among Democratic lawmakers. Maxine Waters led the proposal for the "2025 Crypto Asset Fair Trading Act" last week, which aims to prohibit politicians and their families from making large investments in crypto assets.

At the same time, the Democratic Party also requested relevant agencies to submit suspicious reports on cryptocurrency transactions of the Trump family, specifically naming Trump Coin (TRUMP) and World Liberty Financial (WLF) regarding their token issuance and sales, questioning whether they are involved in political bribery or corruption.

In response, Eric Trump argued that cryptocurrency is the best remedy for corruption, stating, "It makes everything cheaper, faster, safer, and more transparent, and the overall system operates more practically."
