Bitcoin and Trump: A power duo or a risky gamble?

Share this article

  • Bitcoin and Trump – two names that have become inseparable. The results? Hard to ignore.
  • Could we be on the brink of another explosive run, with the market cap soaring to record double-digit growth?

Bitcoin [BTC] and Trump – a duo that can’t be ignored. You can’t talk about one without the other, and the results speak for themselves.

Bitcoin has just hit a new all-time high of $109,350, with a 5% surge driven by Trump’s return to the White House.

But this relationship goes deeper, rooted in history. In 2017, during Trump’s first year in office, the crypto market skyrocketed by 34.7%. So, could history repeat itself, with the market cap set to hit a record $10 trillion?

Key statistics you can’t overlook

Flashback to 2017, Bitcoin kicked off the year at just $997.69. By December, it had skyrocketed with a 1290% YTD gain, with Q3 being its golden period.

Fast-forward to 2024: despite the post-election liquidity, the halving boost, and the launch of BTC ETFs, Bitcoin’s growth was 8x slower than in its record-breaking 2017 run. 

Now, in 2025, volatility is sky-high – enter Trump’s pro-crypto movement. The market is hungry for Bitcoin-friendly policies to spark the next leg up.

So, for the dream of a $10 trillion market cap to become a reality, it all hinges on one thing: execution.

However, it’s not just Bitcoin. The altcoin and memecoin markets are heating up too.

The recent surge with TRUMP coin is proof – investors are diversifying and hedging against growing risks, and the broader market is starting to follow suit.

The stage is set. With FOMO kicking in as Bitcoin eyes key resistance levels, the entire crypto market could see a flood of capital. And if that happens, a $10 trillion market cap might not be so far-fetched after all. 

So, a smooth Bitcoin-Trump sail? Not so fast!

Bitcoin’s growth over the past eight years has been impressive, but it also makes the asset more vulnerable to sudden price swings. The recent clashes with the Fed show just how quickly things can change.

The bigger issue lies in rising macro-economic tensions, and even Trump’s efforts may not be enough to solve them. The U.S. national debt is one example of a potential risk that could shake things up.

While Trump pushes for peace deals and tax cuts to curb inflation, it’s still unclear whether these moves will bring stability.

Unlike his 2017 presidency, this time, there are more uncertainties in the mix. A repeat of the crypto market surge isn’t guaranteed.

With so much at stake, the next few months will be crucial in determining if the bull run continues or falters.
