Trump Deepens Crypto Push With Bold Price Forecast and Asian Expansion
Eric Trump has reaffirmed his bullish stance on Bitcoin, predicting the flagship cryptocurrency could reach $175,000 by the end of 2025, with a long-term target of $1 million per BTC. The comments came during the Wyoming Blockchain Symposium, where Trump described himself as a “bitcoin maxi” and emphasized that he now spends more than half his time working on crypto projects.
“Bitcoin and blockchain can solve inefficiencies in traditional finance, like slow payments and settlement processes,” Trump stated at the event.
Corporate Moves and Global Expansion
According to reports, American Bitcoin, a mining and treasury company co-founded by Eric Trump and Donald Trump Jr., is exploring acquisitions of publicly listed firms in Japan and Hong Kong. The goal is to replicate the MicroStrategy model by converting these companies into digital asset treasury vehicles.
The firm is also preparing for a U.S. public listing through a reverse merger with Nasdaq-listed Gryphon Digital Mining. American Bitcoin, formed in May after reorganizing American Data Centers, aims to become “the world’s most efficient bitcoin accumulation platform.”
Bloomberg reports that Trump will attend a Metaplanet shareholder meeting in Tokyo on September 1, following his scheduled appearance at the Bitcoin Asia 2025 conference in Hong Kong on August 28–29. Metaplanet, often referred to as Japan’s MicroStrategy, has been aggressively adding bitcoin to its balance sheet.
Trump Family’s Growing Role in Crypto
Beyond Eric Trump’s ventures, the Trump family is expanding its crypto footprint. Trump Media & Technology Group, parent company of Truth Social, recently raised over $2 billion to build a bitcoin treasury. Additionally, President Donald Trump disclosed $57 million in income linked to World Liberty Financial, a crypto startup launched last year.
These moves underscore a strategic shift toward digital assets, with Eric Trump positioning himself and his companies as major players in the evolving global bitcoin ecosystem, especially as Asia becomes a competitive hub for crypto innovation.
